Description
An indie music podcast featuring discussion and album reviews of the Indie Rock albums from NME's 2013 Top 500 Albums list, with a focus on music history and world history. Each episode digs into the story of the album and the era it was recorded in, profiles the artists, and features interviews with musicians, critics, and writers. We're prone to following the rabbit down the hole — expect offshoot episodes chasing whatever topic we get fascinated with along the way.
