Lots of great indie pop in the first set including a song very closely related to my best album from last year. More of the same in second set, but not quite as twee, and I ended the show by getting funky.

The top song this week was by The Slow Summits a four-piece band from Linköping, Sweden who were nice enough to message me to share their latest song. This song went well with the rest of the indie pop first set, then note the various space references in the second set and the more laid back third set.

As my top song was on the electro side, the rest of the first set also went that way. The next set went a bit harder before ending the show very, very laid back.

A couple of new indie pop followed by a groovy set to end off the show. Also note that in talking about the second set I guess I had Toronto on my mind when describing a concert I saw by the Go! Team, so when I said that Hannah Jadagu was now living in Toronto, I of course met New York.

Best song I heard since the last show: Pronoun - I Wanna Die But I Can't (Cuz I Gotta Keep Living), listen to the song here: Pronoun - I Wanna Die But I Can't - YouTube
