June 1st is less than a week away, so you would not be remiss to expect Volume II of Radio Elite. While we put together and finalize the playlist for the second mixtape, we decided that it might be a good idea to provide an appetizer of sorts … musically and visually speaking, of course. This is just a short-list of 10 phenomenal music videos (in no particular order) that do a lot more than justice to the respective songs. Creative. A little quirky. Maybe even flat-out bizarre. But hey, who cares about adjectives, right?
Go ahead … click it …
Yeasayer - “Wait for the Summer”
J Dilla - “Nothing Like This”
RJD2 - “Work It Out”
Little Dragon - “Twice”
Unkle - “Rabbit in your Headlights”
Gnarls Barkley - “Going On”
Rob Dougan - “Clubbed to Death”
The White Stripes - “Blue Orchid”
The Avalanches - “Frontier Psychiatrist”
So Called - “(These Are) The Good Old Days”

Insects creep me out. They remind me of mortality and decomposition which I don’t like to think about.
The best 3 videos in my rating:
-Twice by little dragon(where is the singer from, do u know?), vocal is so subtle and nice flow.
-Gnarls Barkley- just lovely
-Work it out- nice lyrics.
Little dragon- I jut learnt the singer is Yukimi Nagano(sounds Japanese?).
Am trying to figure out the video narration with the lyrics; here is what I think(simply put…
The bird is supposed to be a nice humble guy that truly loves the girl and gave her a gift. She left him. He cried so immensely. She went away thru rain, forest and long road to find out what she wants in life, but he was still watching over her. She was looking for something but didn’t know what, when she heard of some music on top of a mountain, she quickly approached it thinking that’s what she’s been looking for but it turns out it’s the unexpected, shocked and dropped her gift(her protection).
It can have multiple meanings…kinda like experimental films.
