III Points cofounder David Sinopoli has coordinated hundreds of shows and usually has no issue giving a synopsis on what one can expect.

Back in middle school, the afternoon announcements would come on during fourth period, introduced with a song lick guaranteed to hook even the most attentive of tween/teen ears: Boom-tss boom-tss clap-tss boom-tss clap. Like clockwork, almost the entire class would bang their knuckles on the wooden desks, mimicking the drum pattern that leads into the iconic whistled intro to the Peter Bjorn and John hit, "Young Folks," off their 2006 watershed album, Writer's Block.

There was some worry earlier in the week that the second day of Ultra Music Festival would be marred by stormy weather, but that didn't come to pass. Saturday saw clear skies and plenty of memorable performances. The second day brought performances by Knife Party, Carl Cox, Hardwell, Kshmr, Gesaffelstein, Deadmau5, and others. However, the most anticipated set of the evening had to be Skrillex.

I waxed poetically about my all-time favorite video game series and its latest installment. I didn't think my first story for @NPR would have so many pirate puns, but alas. https://t.co/61GOpldrdn
