Now I can't get enough.

We also are fans of the Arctic Monkeys and the Kooks.

They have some good stuff. Kids are gone now, so I'm not sure what they are into now. But when they were here, they used to ask me, for Blink 182, "Dad who's singing this one, Tom or Mark"? The drummer for Blink, Travis Barker, is a fantastic drummer.

to a Beastie Boys concert.


She didn't have to try very hard.

Nowadays she makes me listen to Weird Al and Volbeat.

Could be worse.

my boss always had a certain song in his car playing. I don't remember the song itself, but the music video: the band was singing in rotating circles.

There were moments I considered getting them matching ball-gags (especially on the latter, because wow, that one sucked and they only knew about 4 lines.).

Frozen, even on repeat, was not nearly as grump inducing.

I'm so glad I could send them home with their parents.

They're all getting ABBA and Duran Duran for Christmas.
