I have enjoyed my break, and am preparing for exams right now, but I just wanted to take a quick minute to show you this neat little band I found.
Just a little something to get you back down to earth as we transition from fall into winter and scrambling to get final projects/exams sorted out and turned in:

Little Dragon – Twice

From Wikipedia.org
Little Dragon are a Swedish electronic band, formed in Gothenburg in 1996. It consists of Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano (vocals, percussion) and her close high school friends Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrik Källgren Wallin (bass) and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards).

The video was taken from a short film entitled, “Dreams in The Woods,” directed by Johannes Nyholm.

Hope this calms you down!

With first semester quickly coming to an end, we at the station are already looking towards events for the winter term.  There will be plenty to get excited about, but in this period of downtime, be sure to check out our live stream – especially during those long hours of exam studying.

Here’s the newest video from one of my favorite bands, The Graduate. They recently released a new album, “Only Every Time.” They’re definitely worth checking out.
