Buenas noches, Julio! I've really been enjoying tonight's show as well...however, I've been on the road for the last two hours, and you'll be happy to know that I value the basic principles of roadway safety...

Who'd you see?
Bama Dan 11:32:30 PM
Animal Collective, with L'Rain opening. Have never seen AC before, although I'm a fan. They put on quite a unique show, to say the least. The crowd went crazy.
Julio P. (host) 11:34:33 PM
Nice. I'm looking forward to getting out ans seeing some live shows soon.
Bama Dan 11:35:35 PM
I know it was your opener, but I heard Jaime J play the new Automatic single on Your Morning Brew, and I loved it. He also gave a shout out to you and to DJ El Toro for being such incredibly cool people. 😊
Bama Dan 11:35:54 PM
He played it yesterday.
Julio P. (host) 11:36:19 PM
Haha awww. My wife and I are friends with him. He's a sweetheart; we love him.
