RADIO SLOW RIOT /// a p|m|w podcast /// Episode Four (12.8.11)

Episode Four of the Radio Slow Riot podcast arrives a couple of days late, but brings lots of great new lo-fi, dream pop, shoegaze, and synth pop tracks as well as some classic (and sadly, forgotten) indie rock favorites. In lead up to the next episodes Favorites of 2011 countdown, I decided to stick to a simple, familiar format with this episode, so aside from a batch of excellent covers, we’re going to continue with the show structure that we’ve been using. This week features lots of favorite new music and hopefully there will be some pleasant surprises to discover along the way. 

Please don’t be afraid to share/reblog with others and or support any and all artists that strike your interest. Stream or download as you wish. Thanks for listening to Radio Slow Riot.

Please support the artists that you find and enjoy. Buy their music, merchandise and tickets to see their shows. Supporting them is the only purpose in doing this blog. Contrary to the opinions of some, music blogs are a great way to discover new music, but there will only be so much new music to go around if these artists can’t afford to support themselves through their art and commerce. Only use these mixtapes as a guide to find something to throw your (financial and emotional) support behind.
