A Playlist for Stevie’s Postcard Project
So my little buddy Stevie is embarking a pretty big journey tomorrow and I’m trying to help him calm his nerves. He started this Kickstarter project to build some friends to send postcards to. If thats confusing you can check out his project because he explains it better than me. However, I did make him a playlist for his travels and figured I would share it with you guys!
When I played him the playlist he had a few comments I’ll include here. Enjoy and please do check out his project!
1. Coldplay – Postcards From Far Away
Yeah, thats me sending postcards from far away!
2. Paula & Karol – Goodnight Warsaw
Well not “Goodnight” because I haven’t met Warsaw yet so I’m gonna sing “Hello Warsaw!”
3. Rogue Wave – Postage Stamp World
Yea I think thats my new world…
Its dark and weird but I like it. Did I just describe my future feelings on London?
Even darker! Woah!
6. RDGLDGRN – Lootin In London
I’ll certainly try not to… and I’ll give stern looks to any looters I see!
7. Jukebox The Ghost – Postcard
A love song about Postcards! My favorite kind of love song!
8. Friendly Fires – Paris
9. Magic Man – Paris
10. Explosions In The Sky – Postcard From 1952
11. Little Dragon – Paris
12. Kate Nash – Paris
Wow its Paris overload time! I was just dancing!
13. Jens Lekman – A Postcard to Nina
Yeah you gotta explain to Nina’s dad whats going on. Sounds confusing!
14. Is Tropical – Berlin
15. The Young Professionals – Fuck Off Berlin
Strong feelings about Berlin! I wonder if my feelings will be that strong…
16. Peter Bjorn And John – School Of Kraut
Its like German surf music! But I don’t think I will be surfing in Berlin…
17. Beirut – Postcards From Italy
I’m not going to Italy but I appreciate the mention of postcards.
18. Bayside – Phone Call From Poland
They should have called this song “A Postcard from Poland” but maybe that never happened to them. I could fix that!
19. Maximo Park – Postcard Of A Painting
I prefer postcards with pictures of rivers or trees or buildings. Just my personal preference.
20. Europe – The Final Countdown
GAH! The countdown is real and I only have hours to pack! Gotta go!Â

[VIDEO] Music Video Roundup – 06.14.2013
More long overdue videos that I scoped weeks ago and technical difficulties kept me from posting.
“Whatever Brandon! Shut up and play the hits! We heard there is another 1975 video where not much happens besides the band looking cool as cucumbers but its still riveting!”
Yes. That is true. Also, Wallpaper doesn’t suck for the first time in a while. Props. And Is Tropical get weird and wonderful in their new video with epic “The Greeks” director Megaforce. Read more
Remix Roundup Vol. 67 – 6.26.2012 [Matt & Kim, Feist, St. Lucia, J.Cole, and more…]
And just like that.  I’m back with more remix madness for your Burning Ears. Remix Roundups are a collection of the freshest remixes on the planet.  You can search high and low in this world or another, but you won’t find a remix series this dope in this galaxy or the next –  For we are from only space.
For more jams or by any of these artists use the ‘tags’ links at the bottom of the post!  Follow @JoelAlbers on Twitter for updates on remixes, dubstep and all things Nurdy.
Passion Pit – Take A Walk (The M Machine Remix) / First we had the glorious Pecking Duk remix and now this and its not even Christmas.  The M Machine, hailing from the Bay Area have created a straight up slappin mix here.
La Roux – I’m Not Your Toy (Data Remix) / Not a new tune by any means, but what a chune it is… How this song somehow slipped through the Lights & Music cracks blows my mind.  Without further ado, enjoy.
The 25 Best MUSIC VIDEOS of 2011
Every once in a while I meet someone who casually mentions that music videos are dead and I’m always shocked. Music videos have never been more alive and vibrant than they are now in the age of video democracy online. This post is a celebration of the creative spirit that fights every day to set great songs to even better visuals. You guys are my heroes.
Watch the videos in a countdown stye playlist below or continue on to catch them embedded 1-by-1 with my woefully minimal commentary.Â
