In order to set the right precedent for this new year I made sure this particular program was an especially diverse one. We sojourned in the realms of folk, metal, electronica, afrobeat, and pop all in the space of two harrowing (but vastly enjoyable) hours. Here's to another year of scintillating and eclectic music!
