For the curious who were there, and those who missed out, here's a list of the songs that comprised my DJ set at River Gods in Cambridge, MA last night. I'm there every other month as part of the monthly Tourfilter-sponsored evenings, where we only play music by local and touring bands playing in the Boston area soon (bands you can track via Tourfilter's easy interface). I thought I'd have a tough time coming up with a solid set this time around, as far fewer bands usually play out during the holiday-centric month of December, but boy was I wrong. Whole lotta good shows coming up...
