Truitt's Favorite Live Late Night TV Performances 

Future Islands- Seasons (Waiting on You) Live on Letterman.

This kind of speaks for itself.  Future Islands has been great for a long time but they really entered new territory on this fateful night.  Few things have ever been owned the way they owned that stage.  Dave has always had awesome taste, and the best part of this is his reaction to what he just saw.

Anamanaguchi- "pop it" (2014)

This is in my (Trewitt's) top ten listened to songs of the year, according to Rdio.com

And that includes albums that I put on while I'm sleeping.  So, I listened to this in 2014 as often or more than I slept.  

I don't know... IDK

Thank you so much, oh wow, OK.
