Music CNN + Local Band = Love

A very observant Slog reader named Henri just sent us this note:
I was watching Anderson Cooper the other night and I heard Head Like a Kite. The funny thing was that I had just seen them the night before at Chop Suey. I double checked and confirmed on their website, CNN is in fact using their music as bumper music.I think that’s pretty huge. CNN? Wow. How the hell does CNN know about Head Like a Kite, let alone use
them for their music?
Good question, but that’s pretty awesome exposure for the local band. Congrats, guys! For more info on Head Like a Kite, visit www.headlikeakite.com, where you can hear the band’s music and watch videos.
Yay, Head Like a Kite!
Isn't it funny how back in the '90s, we'd of been like, "those sellouts!!"
Times change, yes they do.
I am glad for them.
Did you see their swell superman attire on Halloween?
see here (nyc day 2)..

I'm a former CNN intern. It would amaze you to know how much of the work there (including off-air reporting, writing, and editing) is done by unpaid college students in their early 20s. Not surprising that some decent music might make it on the air.
I would question the sell out thing too, but I think Anderson Cooper is rad. Very very cool.
Can someone say hotty? In the Superman pictures, I see the drummer's, um, his thing. Save me now.
I see they released their cd in the UK and they have all this European press and press from all over the US. I don't know how local they are.
Woh... I only new them since a year. Nerver realy followed their music. But this is great new. Cnn local band. Wow. Major props. I know that Head Like a kite played with one of my favorite bands, Daylight Basement and that is how I found out about them. This is suprising. It is weird how times change. Congrats to thee Head like a kite. wos.s
