damn straight my kids would rock out to Depeche Mode or Morrissey/Smiths when they were in the womb. They would kick when they heard music

this kid is the shit.

I hope my kids are this cool… if I ever have kids.

Wow thats pretty cool. Thanks.

This doesn’t surprise me tbh, there have been many times my brain left me and all i had left was beat appreciation :wink:

True that.

Goldie even managed to do that to me, without the use of excessive alcohol or anything.
Just excessive use of good tunage!

this is interesting, i wonder if it has anything to do with the heartbeat, that being one of the primary focusses of the tiny baby-brain
