It seems that the majority of surf videos have been trashed with terrible music. I'm not sure how electric/pop/emo music finds it's way into surf videos. Fuel TV loves to let these homeless looking musicians play on stage. Hard to get excited over a video with musicians wearing TOMS, and rags. Anyone else feel this way? If so, what music do you prefer in a video?
Every thing starts to annoy me if there is too much of it. More variety is a good thing. We've all seen and heard a million videos cut to hardcore/punk, reggae, surf guitar, and now emo/indie. Rap is kind of a fresh take but could see it turning cliche quick. I really like the music that goes with the winter segment in Dark Fall. Sounds like it was scored to picture rather than a licensed track. Made it feel more "cinematic" that way. Also liked hearing Philip Glass on a surf vid I just saw on youtube. Like how this music works here too (though it's probably close to what the OP was complaining about): https://vimeo.com/39821073 Oh, and I googled "TOMS+hipster" and discovered that they are shoes.
