Hostile Take Over and the Triumph of Diplomacy

This week we were ambushed by a gang of rap loving boys. But through the magic of diplomacy, i.e. talking in circles, we were able to reach a compromise and allow them rap time on our on and on our terms.

LOL political intrigues aside, our show was a hot mess as usual! First as you will notice, the first couple of minutes is a recording of the djs before us, and they were talking some craziness. Then, I decide that its a good idea to mess around with the internet while a song is playing and cause to stop. And then, we played RAP! Seriously, its hard to make head or tails of this week's edition, but its all good!

Sasha put together a great set of songs, and we worked our magic! We started this week with Animal Collective's In the Flowers because seriously, who isn't obsessing about their new album???
