The Best Alternative Top 20 in the Nation?
Apparently The Current has been running a Top 20 since Sept. Who knew? (Probably lots of people...)
Here is this week's chart. You can stream future shows online.
Mike's Posterous
Stuff I like or find amusing | @soccapital | humanventures.net
Mike's Playlist - Fanfarlo
Another great Lala.com discovery... Coldplay meets Jeff Buckley.
How Quick Are You Gonna Get Up?
Two Fabulous Ads
Absolutely my two favorite ads on the air right now. Most impressive is the Census - not what you'd expect from the US Gov...
Ridiculous Musical Creativity
via youtube.com
This is from an old friend of mine. The creative abilities of people like this absolutely blow me away. Pretty amazing sound for just a thumb piano and some vocals.
Playlist - Pomegranates
Another fun lala.com discovery. Would be great on an early spring run or bike ride. Enjoy
Minneapolis, 10 Inches Later
Minneapolis freshly blanketed in 10 inches of snow. Taken from my office downtown facing south-southwest.
The Strokes in a Winter Wonderland
There are some songs that you just associate with spring. For example, the entire Weezer collection and much of what the Strokes has put out.
I discovered on my brisk, snowy MN walk today that they can be just as much fun in the winter. Cure for SAD, perhaps?
Mike's Playlist - Mariachi El Bronx
Poppy English melodies set to traditional mariachi music. Like mango with chili powder. Sounds terrible but actually quite enjoyable.
Mike's Playlist - Sauti Sol
Not sure why I like this. Kind of cheesy African pop if you think about it. But I like it anyway.
