SHOWFILL CITY

This eve I did a showfill for Hannah, who usually runs Twilight Banter. Things started off great, perhaps it was the cool night air or the coffee I snagged as the coffeeshop drew its curtains, but I made it through two middle of the night hours on air without a hitch. Barely.

You heard:

Basketball // Suspiros de Chile
Foonyap + the Roar // Introduction
Wise Blood // Fantasize (Intro); Darlin' You're Sweet
Dirty Projectors + Bjork // No Embrace
Gospel Music // Apartment
Devendra Banhart // Michigan State
Hedvig Mollestad Trio // Ashes
Adebisi Shank // Jump Cut
La Dispute // St Paul Missionary Baptist Church
Quantic // Absence Heard, Presence Felt
Pikachunes // Tonight
Dntel // Your Hill
Aaron Martin // Making Rope Out of Eyelashes
Cass McCombs // Robin Egg Blue
Laura Veirs // Riptide
Bleeding Knees Club // Truth or Dare
Olof Arnalds // With Tomorrow/I'm on Fire
Korallreven // Honey Mine
Spencer Jo & Joseph Barley // Pavement
The Constantines // Our Age
Bitter Fictions // Secret Ticket to Silence
Tune Yards // Gangsta
The Lijadu Sisters // Amebo
yMusic // Beautiful Mechanical

Thanks for listening.
