Winterkids: Memoirs < Music | PopMatters
PopMatters – Mar 12, 2007
I mean James Snider the young frontman of this young new band sounds very British. The band itself rides a wave of popular music from the last ten years from both their native UK and America and comes out sounding contemporary if not particularly new or exciting. “Tape It” aside there’s little reason to have heard of (or care about) WinterKids. At least that song which popped up last autumn around some of the Brit-based music blogs shows an easy command of all these various influences. The elements of new wave mainstream indie pop and pop-punk fall easily into place and the silliness of the lyrics only contributes to the sham. As the fuller keyboards and spastic drums propel the track forwards something about getting home to tape a TV show is rendered utterly charming… “Tape It” aside there’s little reason to have heard of (or care about) WinterKids.

Is Grease the Word?
WebWire – WebWire (press release) – Mar 12, 2007
The film version of Grease made several changes to the musical. The T-Birds of the film were originally the Burger Palace Boys in the musical and several of the songs were omitted from the film. Some of the music changes were to prove critical “Greased Lightnin’” for example was not intended to be sung by Travolta though the star persuaded the producers that his character should sing it thus creating one of the films most memorable scenes and popular songs. Two of the film’s biggest hits “Hopelessly Devoted to You” and “You’re the ne That I Want” weren’t in the musical at all and were written especially for the film. A more important change from musical to film was the removal of many of the stage show’s sexual references which allowed the film to qualify for a PG rating and a much wider audience. When Grease was released in 1978 the UK was in the grip of Punk Rock. Bands like The Sex Pistols and The Clash spearheaded an anti-establishment movement that eschewed rock ‘n’ roll and the establishment with short fast and hard music with political and nihilistic lyrics… Two of the film’s biggest hits “Hopelessly Devoted to You” and “You’re the ne That I Want” weren’t in the musical at all and were written especially for the film.
