Opposites attract, music cross-references, always leave bleed room... 

I love this country. It's eclectic nature delights me. I think long after my youth is over, I will still be fascinated by young Americans. We may not vote in powerful numbers, but our influence wields itself heavily just about everywhere else, and we generate the heat that fuels the mad place we call home. This mix begins at one end of the spectrum and gradually works itself over to the other -- but in a way that makes audible sense. The trail of breadcrumbs from one genre to another often isn't that long... and that's how we begin with The Lumineers and somehow end up somewhere around Wiz Khalifa. Here's to the Nation of Heat we live in: black, white, and all the gray that gets us from one periphery to the other.
