Greetings!

Unofficial Website of SMTM

Do you know there is actually a unofficial website of SMTM?  It has almost all information related to SMTM but I think last updated was 2005.  Well, look at it this way, at least our school is online [or not]!

New Blog

Thought about it for a while and think it is a better approach to have a separate blog for myself instead of publishing every single thing on this dedicated SMTM92 blog.

So not really a spin off, but a birth of my personal blog - hisamueltan.blogspot.com.

So, SMTM92 would remain active for all of us who are from SMTM92 science stream.

Cheerio and live on!

Barenaked Ladies [Not What You Think] Snack Time

Saw this album in Amazon and was curious about Barenaked Ladies actually producing a children's album. So, decided to give it a try. To my surprise, the children and Retna love this album. Why? The rhythm and lyrics just go together so well, you probably not getting tired to listen to it over and over again.

The album began with 7 8 9, I thought what alphabet song is that. Later was pointed my English teacher Retna that it means seven ate nine.

This is the first time the band produced a children's album, mainly because the band members want something that their kids would like other than Black Eye Peas, The Beatles and other pop and rock music. There is also a A B C alphabet song of which it is different from the apple, boy, cat thingy.

The recommended songs that I am sure your kids would love them are 7 8 9, The Ninjas, Pollywog in a Bog [about frog], Vegetable Town and Bad Day.

What Our Kids Are Listening....

Violet Hill was first introduced as the single for Viva La Vida before the full album was introduced in late August. Our kids began to like Coldplay since A Rush of Blood to the Head, specifically Politik and God Put a Smile On Your Face.

Coldplay, a critic-proof band from United Kingdom. Began to pay some attention when the lead vocalist Chris Martin married Gwyneth Paltrow, the Oscar best actress and also the lead actress in Seven with Brat Pitt.

Anyway, kids have been listening to the album, among their favorites are Viva La Vida and Violet Hill. Both the songs have started both of them to spend quite some time on the Wikipedia researching topics such as wars, Roman soldiers, Napolean etc.

The album could hear a refreshing rythm of which unlike Coldplay's former albums. Supposed Brian Eno, the producer would have un-Coldplay them in order to produce this album.

Read the TIME interview for details.

Give this album a try today.
