Thanksgiving 2013 - The Best Unsung Songs of the Year

The Noise Pop Podcast ·

2013/11/19

The episode where we give thanks to the songs that got away. This is a mix dedicated to the best tracks of the year that flew under the radar. Sometimes they were quietly old acts in new clothes, other times they were brand new artists, regardless of the reason these songs are stellar and were sorely underrepresented in the blogosphere and hype machine. This mix also acts as a sort of best track of the year (b-side) mix. So get ready for the season of ‘best of…” Tracklist: 1. “That Awful Sound”

Last episode, we played songs catchy and infectious enough to earn a spot on our Indie Song of Summer playlist.

2013/08/25

Song of the summer starts like summer itself, hopeful, exciting, and you can't wait for it to begin. Once it's here you dive in, listening to it obsessively and it gradually becomes your temporary anthem.

This episode documents what the indie songs of the summer were for 2013. Each of these tracks have been blasting from parks and backyard

Indie Approved Pop II

The Noise Pop Podcast ·

2013/07/17

Before the Internet changed everything there were two distinct and opposing types of popular music, Indie and mainstream. It was the head versus the heart, the cool kids versus the pop kids and you had to come down on one side or the other. But the lines have been blurring over the past decade and those sides don't mean much any more. We now live in a world where pop music is so strange and creative that it's found acceptance with rock critics and indie snobs. Listen as we explore the

We've all thought about this - what to play during that certain time with your loved one (or the one you just met) to set the mood?

So from the soft and sweet to hardcore, we've put together a list of some indie tracks to start your evening, or afternoon, or first thing in the morning off right; no matter what kind of music you're into.Tracklist:Jaime's picks:1.

They say music is math, and we couldn't agree more. This episode explores the numbers behind some of the most unique rhythms in pop music.

It's almost the time of year when what seems like every band in the world descends into one spot in California. And no, we're not talking about that festival in the desert, we're talking about Fauxchella. Fauxchella (a Spinning Platters term) is the name given to almost three weeks in April when all of the bands set to play Coachella make their way up to San Francisco. Almost every venue in the city is full of great bands night after night, and it can be pretty overwhelming deciding which bands to
