Work Hard Play Hard: Snarky Puppy's Michael League on Freedom & Dedication

Work Hard Play Hard: Snarky Puppy's Michael League on Freedom & Dedication
I remember reading back in 2011 that Skrillex was on a stadium tour, and somewhere bougie (Milan) had sold out.  Well, low and behold, the one-sided-shaven-savant’s laptop got lifted from his hotel room and (likely after some crying) he cancelled the show to disappointed droves of bass-riddled fans who ranted across the internet about the...
