I love my grandfather. He is seriously the coolest bro I know. I call him 'pappy'. Every holiday and birthday he gives me several hundred dollars. It really helps out, since I had to start paying my own rent last year after I graduated from design school. When my mom is 'a bitch' to me, he is a dick to her since he birthed her. He's on my side.
I made a mix CD for my grandfather full of popular bloghaus mp3s. Ever since then he has been 'mesmerized' by modern youth culture. It's like he feels like he missed out on a lot of cool shit. Ever since then, he started a blogspot, bought an iPhone, bought a macbook, started a twittr, bought some neon wayfarers, purchased $700 worth of Am Appy, and started going to a weekly electro night. He started reading my favourite blog, the hipSt*rRun0ff. I feel kinda proud, but I also feel 'sort of embarrassed.'
Sometimes u do something to make ur parents/family 'feel connected 2 u'/ur 'culture', and they 'get way too into it'? HAs this ever happened 2 u? How do u handle it? Do ur parents like some kewl band more than u do after you made them a mix CD? Did ur parents recently go to an indie rock show? Do ur parents ask u 'how do u find kewl music on the modern world?'
Who is the 'best indie band' 2 put on a mix CD for ur parents?
do u have chill parents who r ur 'bros'?
Do u think u will ever be 'uncool' and 'connected to an irrelevant culture'?
Worried.

made my mom smoke pot. Then she asked "Are you stoned?" and giggeled. wich was weird.
Carles, do you feel nervous about the party tonight? Might 'vom'/gag a little before the first guests arrive? Don't worry bro, just use coping skills like 'imagine every1 naked' and stuff, and you'll chill and every1 will see you for the chill/interesting/funnie bro that u are!
Have fun bro, wish I could be there!
"darlin'" by the beach boys. that song makes moms wet!
@woop, Pshh, my mom introduced me to the Beach Boys when I was just a boy. She's never been particularly concerned about music, either.
My dad likes MGMT
I'm not sure how that makes me feel
@draculas, it's ok. paul mccartney does too.
and my dad tells when he hears good songs on the radio. it's usually something by fleet foxes, dpt of eagles, or sigur ros.

In the early 90s I decided I wouldn't go to my grave listening to 60s music or the latest from those old new wavers from the late 70s whom I liked back then. So I tried to catch up -- not exactly rocket science but I've never met anyone else in their fifties who bothered. My peers listen to old white people's music: blues, reggae, motown, smooth jazz... and worse, like Billy Joel & Elton John... but we won't go there. At dinner parties I can just get away with playing a little Grizzly Bear and other new shit between those worn-out hits from the 60s & 70s. (Beatles, Stones, Airplane et al were great in their long-gone era but they've lost their context and become the elevator music of our time.) Keep listening to new music, yall will be old soon enough.
@oldguy,
you seem wise.
do youhave any advice on how to deal with heartbreak?
@anonymous, about all you can do is get out there and mix
@oldguy, I think old people can appreciate new music as much as young people if they keep their minds open. It's just that finding new music takes a lot of work, and many people spend time on it because it grants them cool points.
feeling sad that carles may no longer be my favorite blogg person
my mom's dead.
how dare you not make a post for almost an entire day carles
hope you have more meaning full stuff to talk about when i see you at branded tonight, chrls
carles.
wtf! ur BRANDED partie was "postponed" because of "low turnout"
IS THE ELECTRO BUBBLE BURSTING???
@gggg, busted.
My parents don't really listen to music...
But I feel like Grizzly Bear is probably old-people-likable. Okkervil River maybe. Also those Walkmen fellows.
@alex, David Letterman loves Grizzly Bear. It warms me heart, it does.
@danny, And conan loves anything involving Jack White. He's getting pretty old, yeah?
my g pa is the shit hes always got a switchblade on him, and hes always asking us to drown the squirrels in his attic in the lake, he wears plaid and rocks a mean straw hat, ohh plus his vehicle is filled with every dried fruit possible
@m, Every dried fruit possible FTW.
All I know is I'm so in love with summer I think it's going to have to get a restraining order on me.

Older people don't like noise nearly as much. My mom really liked Elliott Smith (XO), but she was a little disappointed when I told her what it was all about. My mom loves the Fleet Foxes, and I think they like the Shins. Calm, pleasant, accessible indie pop is the way to go.
@danny, That's really funny. My mom *loves* the Fleet Foxes, and she liked XO until she found out about the depressing back story. Exactly the same as your mom! Accessible, clean indie pop for the win. She didn't like New Slang when she heard it, though, because there was too much bass. I tried giving her ITAOTS, but there's too much noise for her liking--she said she likes it better when I play the songs.
Feist.
