In a strange turn of events....

My 7 year old really liked the song Hallelujah from the Shrek movie he called it the Shrek song. But when I got hold of the album and played it he said it wasn't the same - and you know what he was right. The album version features the same song but the singer is Rufus Wainright where as the film version is John Cale.

But saying that he also likes Busted (a teeny pop band who probably haven't made it across the pond yet) so he still has yet to develop any musical taste!

While, generally the sun rises and sets on Hillary Duff in my 8-year-old Daughter's eyes; (I'm going to win some serious brownie points when she finds out on X-Mas that I got her and her best friend, tickets to see the young Miss Duff and our local hockey arena), she has taken a liking to a lot of the Eels album "Daisies of the Galaxy", which has a very accessible, sing-songy quality. She is especially fond of the song "I Like Birds" which I've caught her singing in the bath.

Hallelujah is a fav of hers as well, but the version she's heard, other than in Shrek, is from Jeff Buckley's album "Grace", which I've only recently discovered.

My 11-year-old girl is a big Hillary Duff fan too. And she really likes the new U2 song she hears on TV all the time. So what does she ask for for Xmas?

Benny Goodman records. Seriously.

(Worth noting that she plays the clarinet.)
