A VC: Rock Is A Family Affair<\/a><\/p>\n

I was reading the above post from music afficionado, family man, Javascript widget nut, VC and all round good guy, Fred Wilson, when I realised it was a good hook to blog on something I thought was really funny the other day.<\/p>\n

I was talking to my mum last weekend, and she turned around and said – “Oh yes your dad loves Scissor Sisters<\/a>. Loves them. He even didn’t turn over to watch the football when they were on at the same time the other night…”<\/p>\n

OK I thought. I didn’t know dad had a thing for bears. Now for those that don’t know (for some reason Scissor Sisters are ignored in America but huge in the UK- maybe its because of the gay<\/a>\/camp thing? the songs are catchy as hell and the band is full of character. They put on a show<\/em>. My dad has always had pretty good music taste (he turned me on to Talking Heads back in the day). <\/p>\n

But then my mom surprised me. She is a lot less adventurous about music in general – but she turned to me and said oh my favourite are Basement JAXX<\/a>. Ok – double take. She said: they put on a hell of a show don’t they? While the Jaxx started out as a DJ band-now they have a tight brass section and about four singers that defiantly lead the band on stage. They are loud and beat-driven.<\/p>\n

It seems the common theme that both my folks are relating to is performance. This isn’t music to nod too – but to love, and feel joy too. Ok so they are watching the shows on TV- but I know I will be taking my ma to see Basement Jaxx this tour.<\/p>\n

Its still kind of weird. My mom and dad’s current favourite bands-Basement Jaxx and Scissor Sisters respectively.<\/p>\n

You gotta love the baby boomers, and their kids. Music, as Fred says, is now a family, not a generational thing. So what bands have your folks recently surprised you by calling out? Who is hot with the silver surfers?<\/p>\n

Another good reason to blog on Scissor sisters? Baby Daddy and Cote- separated at birth?<\/p>\n
