Slog - Comments on CNN + Local Band = Love http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/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.

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.
