I'm always keen on new ways to get my kids thinking about technology. They have all enjoyed Rebecca Mayes videogame review songs over the years -- in fact I often catch them humming them over breakfast. So I was excited to hear that she is set to return to the world of reviewing videogames via song in her new show Rebecca Mayes Live:

Following appearances on BBC TV and Radio Rebecca Mayes today announces her new review show. The Rebecca Mayes Live show features live recordings where Rebecca recounts the story behind a particular song, before an exclusive unplugged rendering of said musical review.

The pilot episode is available now:

Welcome to the first of my live shows on Game People. I'm going to take you on a little trip down memory lane. I'm starting with Flower, a couple of songs into the project, because this particular song is helpful to talk about the project as a whole.

The pilot episode is available here and the series launches formally on 4th May and will bring a new episode every other week through 2011. There are a variety of ways to follow the show:
