- By the way — the joy of postpunk is having your daughter object to the same music your parents objected to. Last night’s example: “Red Mask” by Cabaret Voltaire, which I’d always thought of as pretty accessible and inoffensive. She’d kicked in objection to Wire whilst in the womb too.
Does anyone else find they are constantly being told to turn down their music by their children? I wouldn’t mind, but it’s precisely the same music I used to play and asked to turn down my parents. I left home so I could play this shit loud!
