...so after an eternity of not owning a record player finally bought one today on eBay (collected locally) an old 1980s Panasonic jobby, by no means an audifiles dream but sufficient, plan is to give it to my son.
Fast forward to this afternoon and we’ve been listening to my old collection Bowie to Prince to The Doors along with a load of other stuff...
says his favourite so far is Brothers in Arms !!
He’s now sat in the kitchen on his own continuing his musical journey, it reminds me of how I was with my dads collection back in the early 80s.
Makes a huge change from him asking Alexa to play his music !
Power of the grooves !

Hi Alexa Play TEENAGE KICKS
Hi Alexa Play TEENAGE KICKS again
Not sure I approve at one level (he’s 11, plenty of time for him to make himself a hipster ****) but another level it’s frigging great as you are bonding, he’s learning why you love certain music and hopefully you’re giving the whole “artwork, waiting for it to come out, excitement if the hearing it for the first time” to him.
sounds great, nice one.
I'm always putting tunes on for the kids. "Daddy loves drum and bass" and "oh no, not Chemical Brother's AGAIN" to the ever so mental "Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads". My boy was 4 and quite partial to some of the dubstep that was around a the time because it "sounds like transformers". And we quite often have a little rave up before they go to bed, shake out that last bit of energy.
