Episode 8 is Part 5 of the Best of 2011, featuring a multitude of tracks from noise-pop indie rock all-stars: Japanther; the Death Set; Parts & Labor; Marnie Stern; and of course, Pterodactyl. In the less than a week that it took me to record this episode I think I switched my favorite album at least 4 times, maybe 5. In the end they are all very very strong albums, but I’d have to give the nod to Marnie Stern. Pterodactyl – Polio (click to listen or download)
