Olivia and Alex Review Music.

I have invented a new game (no its not 'accidentally' putting eye-shadow on my white cats head so he looks like he has a green Mohawk) instead it is forcing my 8 year old sister and 6 year old brother to rate music out of ten from music videos. I consider it a musical education, they consider it an excuse to argue with each other.

So here it goes......

Late of the Pier - Bathroom Gurgle
Olivia 8/10 Alex 1/10
"I dont like the screaming in it"

Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Olivia 9/10 Alex 10/10
"because one day we are going to be in that band"

Killers - Spaceman
Olivia 7/10 Alex 9/10
"I like the costumes" "I like the lead singer"

Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses
Olivia 10/10 Alex 0/10
"I like the chorus part" "The people look ugly in it" (I think I may disown him for this one)

Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla
Olivia 2/10 Alex 0/10
"I don't like the music"

Bat for Lashes - Daniel
Olivia 8/10 Alex 0/10
"I thought it was really really cool"

Bloc Party - Two more years
Olivia 6/10 Alex 10/10
"I like the sound of it" "its quite cool and I like the one with the guitars hair"

Scissor Sisters - Take your mama
Olivia 9/10 Alex 8/10
"I like the chorus"

Will Young - Your Game
Olivia 5/10 Alex 0/10
"The only songs I like are Arcade Fire and Witch Doctor"

Mika - Grace Kelly (Olivia forced me to do it)
Olivia 10/10 Alex 1/10
"it hurts my eyes" "i like how high it gets and how low it gets"



I think you will find many of these reviews are more inciteful and accurrate than any review ever published in the NME or any other music magazine.

Music and Kidlings,
