If you could take 3 minutes to have a look at our latest music video and let us know you thoughts it would be much appreciated...its low budget and was filmed and edited in Tamworth, England.
Simon from SentricMusic talked back in the third Viral Music Videos' interview on Twitter. As per format, we went through three music videos he thinks are good stuff, how he got to hear about them, if he passed them on.

and this is Simon @SentricMusic
about to start the i/view with @sentricmusic. Put us both in search to listen, take us out of yr groups for the next 30 mins if you dont :)
@sentricmusic is making a cup of tea somewhere. Oh no twitterfail! Have mentioned the infamous cup of tea.
Wax stag a.k.a Rob Lee makes shimmering leftfield indie electronic pop full of psychedelic sounding instrumentals and synthesised melodies. For the video to his single ‘And How’, he wanted a combination of creativity, humour, psychedelia and art. Not an easy task perhaps but director Clem Stamation stepped up to and surpassed the challenge having made a stunning visual treat of a video.
The second Viral Music Videos Interview was with Graham Linehan. He’s one of the writers of Father Ted, Big Train, the Fast Show – loads of pedigree TV comedy. He’s also got a great blog that turns up interesting videos all the time. As usual with the Viral Music Videos theme, we went through 3 music videos that got recommended to him and that he’s recommending in turn.

One of Radar’s most recent successes is the video for Emmy award winning singer and songwriter Faith Rivera’s single “This little light of mine.” Directed by Ann Xiao, the video is an animated feature with a colourful uplifting style that fits perfectly with the inspirational flavour of the song. Such was the strength of the video that it was made staff pick of the week on Vimeo as well as being featured on MTV Iggy.
But Ann’s animation didn’t begin life as a music video. When Faith originally approached Radar, she was looking for visuals to accompany her live show. She came across published comic artist, illustrator and director Ann Xiao who created the vibrant visuals to match Faith’s soulful performance.
1/ You need Tweetdeck or an app that allows you to follow and separate Twitter conversations. Tweetdeck takes maybe 5 minutes to install it on your desktop. If you haven’t got it yet, it will transform your experience of Twitter! really.
2/ Find the search icon at the top – it looks like a magnifying glass. Enter the twitter name of the interviewer, eg @radarmusicvideo (note no ‘s’). This brings up a column which shows every tweet that mentions @radarmusicvideo.
