I've always shared music with my daughter, and it's been an eye opening experience for me both as a parent and a music lover.
I've written about our journey in music discovery (including some cute stencils and absolutely with her approval).

the problem with being such a massive Nine Inch Nails fan is that people will tell me about things excitedly that I already knew, weeks, days or hours before… sometimes I’m even the source of that information 🤦♂️ it’s extreme levels of fandom

what listening to 1500+ “new” albums does to you… as learnt by me
I listened to over 1500 albums in 2024 and this is what I learned
realising I was losing touch with music, I set myself the goal of listening to 100 new albums in 2024.. I didn’t realise how deep I would go
