Over the years, I've become increasingly annoyed by local radio stations and TV shows who pump out crap content all day long. Now I understand that they play to the masses but popular music (or what they see as popular music) isn't what I look to them to provide. Local stations and shows should update us on local talent and strive to have these artists heard. Major stations continue to play the same crap content all day everyday until even my mom and dad know the words to the latest Lady Gaga shit mix. That being said, I'd like to give praise to the stations that still have this outlook and thank them for pushing quality music through the air waves for people like me to enjoy. Local college and university stations have caught my attention in past years and I've been known to listen weekly to hip-hop and house/electro broadcasts. In short, I urge you to check out some nearby stations who could be flying below your radar. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I think you'll find today's content to be both uplifting and thought provoking. Voila! Miike Snow's 'Burial' off their debut self-titled album. I really enjoyed the direction this new band has gone with this video. The reality of it all is a very refreshing approach. Thanks to
Daniel Wirtberg & Jonas Rudström for directing this great video.
Next we have Air France's 'No Excuses' of their EP titled No Way Down. I just recently featured this track for download and I suggest if you haven't given it a listen, to do so! The video is pretty simple and features a solo surfer in his element. I wish to feel a freedom like this someday. I've also included their video for the song 'Collapsing At Your Doorstep' which was also featured in past posts.
