Remember the link from the young school teacher who had her students review indie-rock records? Another teacher had her kids draw pictures to illustrate what they felt when listening to Radiohead... there are some gems here:

Those kids have got better since they did the artwork for The Bends.

Further evidence that children > adults.

Fetishization of the self-hating critical voice taken to its most idiotic extreme.

Anyone got that link?

My boy is a Grade younger and he'd probably -- no, damn near certainly -- recognize a Radiohead song. He'd probably draw a big menacing Lego Bionicle, though, no matter what.

A fifth-grader wouldn't recognize "Creep."

But let's not peek. So as not to lord over the artists, we snoop around Mitsi's classroom a bit, particularly the official rules for Room 14. Thom Yorke would be in blatant violation of several of these, including "Don't fidget," "Be helpful," and particularly "Keep negative ideas to yourself."

Holy crap. Why are her classroom rules so Orwellian?

When Phil asked for the kiddies-reviewing-indie-records link, I was expecting someone to link pitchfork.

three weeks pass...

I talked about this with my friends a while ago and again when I saw Radiohead in concert last week. Those kids are 5th graders, not kindergarden kids. They know enough about pop culture and the name 'Radiohead' to assume it's all depressing music and they're not supposed to like it cause it's laughable. They drew pictures based on the stereotype of Radiohead, not the music, as an in-joke for themselves. And yes, the would recognize the music based on MTV exposure the same way I could pick out anything I heard on TV in .5 seconds when I was 9.

Damn it, Michael. Why'd you have to get so smart on us?

It was in NME last week anyways, so it's officially dead :(
