Letterman’s Soundman

After talking with Erin yesterday about how GOOD stuff on Letterman has been sounding lately, I thought a blog post would be illustrative. Yay.
Something I do is form opinions about bands as I read about them, before or without ever hearing them. This is unfair, and I’m working on it. Letterman’s soundman/soundwoman is helping me out. For example, I had been half-intentionally avoiding St. Vincent, but I’m glad I she/them performed on Letterman, because I would have never known about the monster jam that they have in their arsenal. Being wrong is pretty great sometimes.

We had a great time with the band and seeing new cities. New Orleans was the greatest place on earth. Such an awesome place.

3. Classic 80’s Hits Interpreted For Ragtime Piano:
