Grade: 6.125 out of 10 runoffs

Review: The xx are four 19 year olds from London. Think that they seem pretty 'kewl.' Wish I could have made [HIGHLY BLOGGABLE] mp3s at age 19. I feel like the song seems 63% more intriguing when u see the entire band, and they 'look cool.' If you look at the band, they seem to have a 'normal bro', 'fashion-y bro,' 'kewl looking fierce girl', and 'normal girl.' Think these are 4 great identities to have in a band. I don't think there is anything wrong with 'liking music' mostly because it 'achieves an aesthetic that makes u feel kewl' even when ur not sure why. From what I have read on wikipedia, this was a driving factor in the rise of bloghaus.

I also think that this song "VCR" might be 'not that good' but I think it might be honest and simple, and might be good to like put on a mix CD for a girl because there is a female singer on it.

The xx VCR

I feel like a band like this might 'get big' in some sort of hybrid model that mixes that shitty band THE PLAIN WHITE T's with Feist model. ' 1-2-3-4' types of songs. Just like 'simple music' that 'girls can relate to' and that 'guys don't find to be unbearable.' Feel like that is a band model to watch in 2k10.4.

Also thinks that this band 'looks cool enough' to look cool in magazines. I think that girls buy more magazines than men, so I think it is important to have a girl in ur band.

I feel like this band will have remixes by other authentic/conceptual bands that will help them build 'a very authentic brand.'
