I went to the Peter, Bjorn and John show at the Wexner Center this evening. It was a good time. Two other bands warmed up: All-female synth-pop trio from Brooklyn, Au Revoir Simone and Fujiya and Myagi, who are neither Japanese nor a duo. F&M are another trio of musicians from England. Au Revoir Simone was well received, and group member Annie even commented on how attentive we all were. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The audience is attentive at the Wenxer because they don't sell booze. Just [...]

I hate to blow the whole pat radio mystique, but sometimes mundane things go on in the studio during the show, like loads of laundry or changing flourescent bulbs. And trying to do these tasks and do the show at the same time results in some dubious tune selection. It is with that defense that I present mix #71: 1.
