Since I had just gotten some terrible news, my mind was a little bit out of it during this broadcast. I'm hoping to make up for it in the next coming weeks.

Also big news. I've decided to step down from my role as volunteer at Science World!
I've decided I really want to start focusing on music/radio hosting for a while, and I felt my professional and social life was starting to suffer due to lack of time to recharge and reconnect, so I've given that up to free up some time to do just that.
As a thank-you to Science World, though, I've played the Imagine Dragons song. I always heard that song when I volunteered at Science World on Wednesdays, as background music for two promo videos down at the Dome, one of which was a movie on lemurs. :)

Gramatik and Great Dane were two of three artists I got to catch at the Vogue last Saturday. It was an absolutely amazing show!! Both are electro-influenced instrumental music makers, but Great Dane is more hip-hop and trap influenced while Gramatik is more jazzy. Both are great to chill out to.

Harrison...I honestly could only describe it as 'kawaii', with the cutesy EP cover and Japanese arcade-game music. I'm not sure if I'm reappropriating my own culture or whatever but that was like the only adjective that came to mind. :P Oh well, I hope you share my very odd sense of humour.
