> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > Wait For the Moment - Vulfpeck (2015) I won’t be voting for this song (just so many good-to-great W’s!) – but I want you to know your posting of it wasn’t in vain, because I’d never heard of Vulfpeck, and I’m really grooving on their oeuvre now, thanks to you (fave so far: “Back Pocket”). Also, it’s awesome how they exploited a Spotify loophole, put out a silent album, and financed a free-admission tour. (Live music is where it’s at. The one time I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers in concert, Flea was genuinely grateful for the crowd’s support of live music, “big” or “small.”) ---
