STRICTLY GLOBAL

I've come to the conclusion that Danni may have "Inca Steppa" by Juno Reactor on perma-repeat in her head.  Seriously, she's always playing air trumpet.  And raving when no one but the camera is looking... someone get this girl some glowsticks! ;P  Anyway, this week she's the host-a-roni and we've got tons of global goodies to unleash onto you.

Including the latest from the French downtempo duo, Air.  Their North American tour starts this Saturday the 13th and will last all of March, before they head off to Australia for April.  Meanwhile, they are giving away tickets for band bench seats on NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.  Check out their website to score those awesome spots!

We'll also check back in with one of our favorite past Nextwaver's Nirf, who have an awesome new video.  A new 3 song EP from this Japanese American former Nirvana cover band was just released this week.  90's alt rock continues strong like a tsunami through these dudes.  Love it.

We'll also showcase the Portuguese power-pop group Blasfemea, who are huge in the Lisbon pop underground, and ready to make the rounds in the states.  I can't read Portuguese so the history of these dudes remains a mystery to me.  But what I can make mention of is their latest album- Galaxia Tropicalia.  All the song titles are girl names, i.e. Maria, Eva, Ida, etc.  Perhaps, their mothers, girlfriends, sisters, or wives? The mystery will continue, but be sure to tune in to check out the awesome video sculpted by Portuguese video masters duo David Francisco and Maria Joao Carvalho. 

In other mysterious news, where the hell is Sawyer???  (Cue Lost theme music.)
