Boxing Day. The Day After Christmas. Maybe you're exhausted from the raucousness of Christmas Day. Maybe you're still shell-shocked from the last-minute holiday shopping. Maybe you're bummed that you have to trudge back to work or that Santa failed once again to bring what you wished for. (Aw, socks again?!?)

Never fear, as The Audio Ecotone has the perfect elixir for those post-holiday doldrums with a LIVE in-studio visit from the incomparable Ms. Black Viiolet and Darts (U.S.) herself -- Nicole Laurenne! Nicole will join Eddy Owt in the DJ booth to spin a playlist of tunes specially curated by Nicole, chat about their influence on her musical development, about her recent tours and recording plans, and whatever other hijinks come up during the hour.
