Jay discusses Brazilian psych and girl group goodness. He also recalls the origins of his unlikely friendship with a literary working-class hero, who in turn introduced him to the syrupy sounds of a power pop legend. Deon brings urban hits, brand-spanking new indie pop and experimental space rock to the mix. Super-secret-special friend Nichole dishes on her love of T Swift (but not necessarily Swifties) and Allison Mosshart. Ahh Yeah. Alright.
