Por Ana Clara Matta e Izadora Pimenta O dia das crianças está chegando ao final, e enquanto você relembrou todos os grandes sucessos da sua infância, como músicas-tema de desenhos animados e as atrações do pop chiclete da década em que você cresceu (aí, pelo menos não estava assistindo ao show do Justin Bieber ) algumas crianças estavam dando seus primeiros passos no mundo da música com excelentes influências. E como vivemos na era dos pais que não largam a câmera nem com uma eventual queda do filhote, várias "crianças indie" e [...]
Just watching these videos in the office and holy crap! These kids are crazy. I'll let the videos sing for themselves. Amazing. Go PS22 !
Se non sapete ancora chi è Gregg Breinberg , forse dovreste iniziare a conoscerlo. In breve, ecco la storia. Un insegnante delle elementari, con la passione per il rock meno convenzionale, decide che non c'è motivo per continuare a insegnare ai suoi bambini le solite canzoncine. Gregg è un fan di Tori Amos : figuriamoci se può accontentarsi dei brani tradizionali. Un giorno del 2001, raduna i suoi allievi e comincia a spiegargli queste canzoni così diverse da quelle a cui sono abituati. Inizia proprio con un "Twinkle", un classico di Tori Amos , e [...]

So it's that time of year again where we surround ourselves with dirty teenagers in a field in Berkshire. Having spent three years at university in Reading, the bank holiday weekend at the end of August is now the only time I return to the place. The O!IW team will be out in force this weekend, here's who we're pretty psyched about... SUMMER CAMP - FRIDAY 15.05-15.35 - FESTIVAL REPUBLIC STAGE Try not to be moved by this video... [...]

Over time hit songs seem to be recycled by anyone and everyone in the form of a cover. Some butcher a brilliant track, while others have the uncanny knack of 'making it their own' (apologies for borrowing an overused Australian Idol cliché). We've decided to pick out a few of the lesser known covers, or perhaps songs you didn't even know were covers in the first place! You've Got The Love Original: The Source Ft. Candi Staton - You've Got [...]
by ricky Sorry if you've already seen these but I support viral videos that don't feature dancing animals or white kids hitting other white kids in the balls. While these videos of Harlem's PS22 chorus have already made the rounds compiling close to 500,000 views a piece, they still make for a refreshing view on the public school system. We compiled a few of our favorite for a post so check out the kids singing "Zebra" by Beach House, "LISZTOMANIA" by Phoenix, and "Pictures [...]
Continuing on the Phoenix tip, I came across this video which is spreading quickly of the PS22 Chorus (who contributed vocals for Passion Pit's debut) singing their version of Phoenix's "Lisztomania." Read more about these brilliant kids in the Guardian . Considering they'll be featured in Entertainment Weekly and probably a million other publications, this isn't any sort of scoop. Still, this choir puts other kids to shame. Gotta love the husky dude in white being spastically into it and his buddy's Mutombo finger wag around the 2:05 mark. Much respect. [...]

It's been a while. Only a little more here. ( High Violet will be out 5/11/10 via 4AD Records) [...]
unbelievably beautiful marc
Happy Sunday! Yeasayer - ONE PS22 Chorus - Lisztomania (Phoenix cover) DaVinci - What You Finna Do? Skybox - In A Dream ...and your random jam of the day. Today we'll listen to a new mix of a song by one of my favorite bands, enjoy.... Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home (RAC Mix) [audio: http://mp3muffin.com/train/Hom e ...

Phoenix will be a headliner at Lollapalooza, TimeOut Chicago reports . The French popsters will join previously reported headliners Green Day, Lady Gaga, Soundgarden, Strokes and Arcade Fire, TimeOut reports. Adding Phoenix balances out the roster of top acts a bit and is a huge boost for Phoenix. Separately, here's an interesting cover of Lisztomania by the PS22 Chorus. Lisztomania - Phoenix
Damn, if I had a choir teacher like this when I was in school... well I would probably have been in choir. These kids are getting into it.

Hey kiddos! It's time for another batch of videos curated by the wonderful music geeks down in our little society . Great collection... First one's here, 13 MORE after the jump!!! HOT DIGGITY!!! [...]
Para todos aquellos fans del nuevo álbum de Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix - les tomará por sorpresa el siguiente video en donde un coro de niños de entre 12 y 13 años de edad cantan a cappella la canción "Lisztomania". El PS22 Chorus ha cantado canciones de Lady Gaga, Matisyahu y Journey, con lo cual parecen pasarla bien y hasta salir en revistas como Teen Vogue. Pura felicidad y hermandad la que verán a continuación. [Vía: Drowned In Sound ]
Stars will release their fifth album, The Five Ghosts , on June 22. I thought their last album, 2007's In Our Bedroom After the War was a bit overlooked, so I'm definitely looking forward to this one. Pitchfork has the new MGMT single, so you may wanna grab that before your little sister does. They also debuted the new She & Him video for "In the Sun," and it's caused a hilarious riot over at Hollywood Elsewhere . Check out the video below. [...]
Is it me or do songs just sound better when kids(tons of them, at once) are singing them? I h8 kids bop, but I <3 this!! Anyone know where I can buy some kids and put them to work? Think I'm gonna have 'em sing with a DJ and a harpist at the same time... It'll be the next big thing.

When I grow up, I seriously want to be one of these kids. You remember these little songbirds from their "Empire State Of Mind" rendition . This time they're back singing another tune that's apparently popular but I've never heard previous to now. But with the help of PS22 x Hype Machine , I'm now in the know and have another chune for my "other music" playlist. Seen: Urlesque
A few weeks back we hipped you to Umphrey's cover of Lisztomania. For their version of the Phoenix tune, the Chicago-based jammers didn't change the arrangement very much. The same can't be said for the Lisztomania cover that the PS22 chorus sang. The kids in the chorus at Staten Island's PS22 may be young, but they have already appeared on stage with some of the biggest artists in the world including Fleetwood Mac, Tori Amos and Crowded House. Check out their melancholy arrangement of Lisztomania... Lisztomania - PS22 chorus [...]
