Episode 12 of Nerd Monster Radio is here, with me your lovely host, Jose Aparicio. This weeks was originally going to be a tit for tat Spanish to English, but I ended up gravitating towards the strong female vocals of lots of the Spanish music I have, and focusing on that. So I paired a handful of those with some English counter parts. All in all its a very strong set of songs.

Welcome to episode 7 of nerd monster radio. This week the playlist evolved from the first track on the list, Future Islands' Seasons (Waiting on You), which if you don't notice has a great twin peaks sound to it. This week's show doesn't contain any non-English music, though Chairlift has a great Japanese version of their song that I probably should have used. Either way, another great set of songs for your ears to enjoy. Cheers! Jose. www.nerdmonster.net
