What better way to bring in 2015 than with two hours of Electronic Meditation? Wait, don't answer that...
Champions of Red Wine New Pornographers - Brill Bruisers - Matador |
Cold War Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid |
Tell the Babes Apparatjik - Square Peg Round Hole |
We started with a dance party, because who doesn't like to party?
Apparatjik is one of the funnier supergroups I've come across; the three members come from Mew, Coldplay, and A-Ha respectively. A set of mostly shoegazer music to follow, as a tribute to how I actually act at dance parties. |

Ah yes, the Melodic Energy Commission, a truly unique collection of cats from BC. They had some Hawkwind affiliation back in the day but I like their brand of weirdness better.\
Next up, some great electronic music from Franco Battiato. |
