An example of why State Radio are still one of my favourite bands, bar none… I’m not going to blindly ask you to accept what you’re told, but do some research and judge for yourself. Watch the video… and please, if you can… do something.
Bugger. You know, I go offline for a few days, and I miss out on all the cool emails. A few days ago, Tim from the All-Leo Digital Agency (who have a super cool website, by the way) emailed me to let me know that one of their acts, One EskimO, would be performing a […]
One of my new favourite music videos… the new video for Fleet Foxes’ “Mykonos” is filmed entirely with stop-motion frames… and it’s sheer beauty. That is all. Mykonos from Grandchildren on Vimeo.
