The Menzingers - After the Party (February 3, 2017) Album • Page 101

Carson Daly is still around.

 

About to drunkenly yell these songs along with The Menz at a stage in the middle of the street in Phoenix.

 

listened to this on the way to the airport this morning and my dad was really digging it

 

My dad fucks with this band, Gaslight, Frank Turner, Butch Walker, and the Bouncing Souls. It's cool when parents can somewhat break out of their music bubble.

 

its hard to get my dad into shit sometimes cuz hes pretty picky about vocals, doesnt like anything that borders on or you know is screaming haha but yeah he really dug these guys. side note he also loved the shins

 

That's how my dad is haha. He definitely taps out on Nails or some of the hardcore stuff. The Shins are good for crossover to older folks for sure. Aside from early Bouncing Souls, I feel like the ones I mentioned, especially Butch do well with a variety of ages. Frank Turner does really well too.

 

yeah i played frameworks in the car the other day and he was just like eh

 

Got my dad into Gaslight and Hot Water Music, so I feel he would really dig this band.

 

where should I start with the shins? Been meaning to get into them but have never gotten a general consensus on where to begin with them

 

may as well start with oh inverted world and go in chronological order, they have a pretty solid progression from album to album. chutes to narrow is my favorite and an all timer for me. but all their albums are fantastic.

 

My dad likes Keep You by PBTT and Bon Iver which is pretty cool

 

My dad has pretty basic "dad classic rock" tastes which is cool, but I was digging through his cd collection last week because we were taking a trip and discovered that he fucking loves Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys which is nuts! Immediately handed over my Flatfoot 56 albums.

 

Sometimes I will play music around the house to try and get my dad to notice and make a comment, but he rarely does, haha. He did like a Sufjan record I was playing a while ago, as well as Julien Baker. Back before I had my license and he would drive me to shows he always really liked Letlive., and actually ended up buying a long-sleeve from them. A lot of people at the show would get a kick out of him walking around with his merch lol.

I've definitely played this album while I was making dinner a few times to try and get his attention, but to no avail.

 

Some of my dad's favorite artists are Shearwater, Kevin Devine, Brand New, Manchester Orchestra, Anberlin, Copeland, The Hold Steady, and Jimmy Eat World. He's never really gotten into The Shins, but he did run that last Broken Bells album into the ground when it came out.

He still goes to some shows with me (like Jimmy Eat World last week). It's really awesome to me. He really liked this album when I played it in the car, but I keep forgetting to burn him a copy of it.

 

My dad likes at least one or two songs by most of the artists I like. I pay for my family's Apple Music subscription and text them every Friday about new releases!

 

best thing recently is making my mom love the 1975. their minimal radio play helped too but i play i like it when you sleep when im in the car with her allllll the time and she loves it because it sounds like the 80s

 

but growing up when me and my brother were mega into scene music my mom loved my chem and jimmy eat world

 

Oh yeah, Teenagers was my mom's jam

 

Did she like Three Cheers? Does she fuck with I'm Not Okay?

 

yup it was three cheers she loved it

 

I expected my mom to like the 1975 more than she did. My mom is more Billy Joel and the Eagles, but listened to the radio a ton in the '80s so I expected a better reception.

 

My parents are into most of the music I like, particularly since I've started listening to more country and folk. We've gone to a few concerts together over the past few years, including Jason's Isbell (x2), Kacey Musgraves, and Dawes next Saturday. Actually, my entire immediate family (parents, wife, and siblings) are going to the Dawes show. Will be the first time we've ever done a full family concert.

 

I think the only thing I've ever played and it seemed like both my parents liked was Built To Spill's Perfect From Now On

 

My dad likes a couple songs from bands I like, specifically Clearest Blue by Chvrches and a couple songs by My Chemical Romance from TBP era, but he doesn't really listen to anything I like. He does pay attention to some of my favorite bands and knows how much I love Circa Survive, Jimmy Eat World, and Deftones so that's cool. My mom doesn't listen to anything I like either. I wish one or both of them did though

 

My mom likes a lot of the stuff I like
