8:00pm - 9:00pm
Bonjour tout le monde - We have quite the show tonight, just shimmering with existential and positive energy moving forward, containing some of the best uptempo and downtempo rockers and vocal brilliance yet, beginning with a brand new excellent single from Bon Iver (channeling Kanye circa Yeezus), another stunning display from the one and only Amy Winehouse, Childish Gambino demonstrating synth R&B proficiency / mastery, and Stevie Lacy with another great new track off of what might be a somewhat underappreciated debut; next, we demonstrate the power of Pulp circa '94, the magical vocals and lounge style acoustics of Cat Power circa 2007, Loscil with some great ambient work, a nice new Mac Demarco deep cut, Solange with the moog synth rocksteady, and Bilal and Kimbra trading fantastic vocals over one of my favourite producer's immaculate instrumentals; we close with Arcade Fire bringing some closure to the affair, a wonderful classic statement from John Lennon, LIGHTS (!!), and a bonus gem signaling dance floor redemption - Please enjoy~~
