With Amy away in Phoenix, hanging with her parents and sister's family, I get to share a favorite track. At first I thought I would share a track I heard (and Shazamed) during the credits of the movie Safe House – Jay Z — No Church In The Wild – Album Version (Edited) – but decided against it. A very powerful, angry track to be sure, but it's probably not appropriate for many of your students 🙁
So instead I decided to to find something light and happy. Miike Snow – The Wave (Flight Facilities Mix) seemed like just the ticket. I'm going to use this as my intro track in Monday's playlist. I'm playing a new video from Virtual Active – World Tour Northern Italy and I'll let you know how my class likes it.

Great song ( The Wave )…..but still……..No Church In The Wild is an AWESOME track and everyone seems to respond to it………it may not be perfect for all audiences but once in a while you need to step out on a limb…..glad I do ……especially with that song……it’s a crowd favorite!!!
Love both of these. I have several Miike Snow tracks on my playlist! No Church is like HBO… assumes we’re all “adults.”
