Just like the last show, there were 2 indie pop sets followed by an electo pop one, although the first one was mostly more rocking bands with female lead singers (or entire bands).  And you will have to listen to the show to find out why I have a link on how to make Knife Pleats in the links.

Best song I heard since the last show: Bleached - Keep On Keepin' On, see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmgBdqsOwLo
