I got them "heavy metal horseshit blues": could be a Nashville classic via Memphis. Actually, and/or rather, I envy anybody who actually shares their musical preferences with a parent, all the while admitting I owe much of my musical "sense" to my father's addiction to Hank Williams.

Same with Madame Frog.

Nancy the scientist, the second of the two true loves of my life, quite rightly found Wittgenstein intellectually creepy. The woman knew a snake in the grass when she saw it.
Meanwhile, I liked Wittgenstein, to the point of considering him THE figure of the twentieth century, proper heir to Nietzsche and Schopenhauer.

Weren't Nietzsche and Schopenhauer associated more with the 19th century?
All of my friends hate Brainiac. My brother and I have almost the exact same musical tastes. |

Yes, very. I intended Wittgenstein as their next-century heir, as a logical successor to them, having internalized their message, as opposed to the parallel track of Hegel-Marx, those misguided bastards. Froth. Froth.

My girlfriend and I have a lot of overlap in our musical tastes, but she's not a big fan of Frank. She has mentioned liking "Oddball" (the song), though.
I was once playing BLD in my dad's presence, and he said it sounded like Neil Young.

My wife loves Frank, but I have a lot of friends who don't. Maybe i'll make them my enemies, those assholes.

Well, me and my wife have long since moved beyond the phase in our relationship where, if one of us doesn't like the other's choice of music, we refrain from playing it in the presence of the other. Now, whenever either of us has the urge, we feel free to blare our anthems with next to no consideration for the other. For a long time now I've accepted the fact that she doesn't share my affinity for Frank Black in ANY capacity (although I think she can tolerate the later Pixies stuff to an extent...) and that's totally okay; it's not had an impact on our relationship to speak of. Quite the contrary, it's good to keep elements of individuality, even in marriage, and I'm glad that we can both appreciate and dislike different things respectively. Marriage would be pretty boring if you were married to an opposite-sex version of yourself.We are different people; sometimes it is hard to recall that we were such before we got married and had kids. And, being parents sometimes makes you feel like one cohesive entity for the purpose of raising the children and sometimes you can forget your individuality.

Your father's probably right. In fact I've always thought BLD was an homage to Neil Young.

Yeah, the guitar screeches near the beginning of CHOS are like some the guitar work on NY's Everybody Knows This Nowhere album.

My sister heard Superabound and said "Why do you listen to old people?"
