Episode 50! (Yes, you read that correctly.) This week, Mark and Brendan feature the usual blend of melody, rhythm, and weirdness that you have come to expect.

We start with a indie track from Laura Stevenson, from her new self-titled album. Next, to London for a solo single from Anna Prior, the drummer for the English pop band Metronomy. Next, a crunchy new tune from Hollywood super-composer Danny Elfman that pairs him up with Trent Reznor, on Nine Inch Nails fame. The final new track of the week is from New Zealand, and the artist Reb Fountain. Then, Brendan digs up some math rock from a decade ago with a wonderful tune from Battles, with vocals from the DJ and producer Matias Aguayo.
