J's Indie/Rock Mayhem - 1st May 2013

[Welcome to another edition of J's Indie/Rock Mayhem. The podcasts are going to go up a little later than usual for a few weeks as I get my podhosting situation properly sorted, so expect Monday updates for at least the next couple of weeks.

Now, onward.]

J's Indie/Rock Podcast: 1st May 2013 show

Deerhunter - "Pensacola" [from monomania. well, i'm already liking this new deerhunter more than previous ones. but that shows a bit about what kind of music i like. we'll hear more.]

Pretty & Nice - "Q_Q" [from golden rules for golden people. hadn't heard this band before, but i like what i've heard so far.]
