Last Week's Distilled Gems

Last week’s update was huge and I just couldn’t get through it all, which is ok. This is supposed to fun, right? I’ll continue working through it this week.

Another reason for not making it through was that the first dozen items were so good, that I got stuck on repeat, and that too is ok.

Highlights were Röyksopp, Mansionair, Toro y Moi, Midlife and even though it wasn’t as great as previous releases, Sofi Tukker. The laundry list of singles were also great.
