I spent a couple of hours at the key stage two disco with my seven year old daughter last night and listened to absolutely nothing at all that I would ever choose to listen to. Nothing. I couldn’t even tell you what they played other than it was all pop-pap-r&b-bollocks save that in the middle, for the boys and as a bit of an alternative, Metallica’s ‘Rockstar’. Why? Why do we allow this to happen? How can we stand by and allow it to happen? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? IS NOBODY THINKING OF THE CHILDREN!!!
My 11 year old has spent this week making a playlist for her birthday party this weekend, lets have some of this instead, for, as Doctor Robert would say….
Lemon Jelly – Nice Weather For Ducks mp3
The Concretes – Seems Fine mp3
Belle and Sebastian – Scooby Driver mp3
Elastica – Waking Up mp3
Blondie – Sunday Girl mp3

I wonder if my Grandad wrote a sternly worded letter about my mum listening to The Beatles.
