Kye Kye- Young Love Album Review!

Kye Kye is one of my favorite bands. They were formally known as Paper Rings and they played at my school, Crown College, and I fell in love with them. Olga, the lead singer, has a voice that floats. I am not a huge fan of female vocalists, but Olga's voice is not harsh or shrill making her voice easy to listen to. The band is a family from the west coast and there music is creatively christian. They do not use the simple and typical lyrics like some artists but also root their lyrics in scripture.

The style is interesting mix of, as they claim on their facebook page, Indie/Electronica/Experimental/Organic. This album in particular has a nice chill feel through out. It is hard to understand any of the lyric so it make it hard to sing along but then you don't have to listen to you friends bad voice right? Umm... good use of real and electronic instruments. Well here are some tracks to watch for:

Key tracks: Broke, Knowing This, Walking This
One I don't like: Peace Song (cheesy instramentals)

Their Remix of this album could actually be better than the album itself upping the anti so to speak in intensity dropping even bigger beats. I would recommend listening to them and then having a dance party with them. Don't forget the glow sticks?

Also, check out this vid of them covering a U2 song...

thefirstrow.eu- Watch Football for FREE! (website review)

This website is Great! You can watch all the football games around the country for free, and any sport for that matter. It really is free and don't have to pay for anything. The quality isn't HD or anything and if you have slow internet then you won't get a clear picture at all but it is as good as the old analog signal that we all used to love, well at least deal with. You can try the other links if one isn't working very well. They also have a full screen option which is great because then you don't have to deal with there pop ups during the game

NEGATIVES!
1) Make sure that you have a GOOD anti-virus on your computer or you have an Apple computer. I have a friend who used this website with out protection and he got a virus. Make sure you protect your self.
2) There are lots of ads that pop up! And some are very sexual and explicit. If you don't want to see this make sure your pop ups go behind your open page so that you don't have to look at the content and close that ad. I actually have not seen what is on the ads since I have used this technique but be careful!
3) It probably is not 100% legal and it might get shut down... but until then use at your own risk.
