The Lunar Orbit Zach Sizemore

A self-indulgent show this time around ("when aren't they?" Yeah yeah.). See it’s my birthday so I decided to surprise myself with an episode full of some of my top favorite songs! All genres are represented, post-rock, math-rock, psychodelia, prog, and even more! Each song is significant in its own way, be it personally meaningful, significant to the show, or just a kick ass track! With this much great music you’re bound to enjoy the episode, so come tune in!

This episode will take some explaining lol. Last week I was browsing online and found a fantastic playlist of Russian shoegaze/math rock (credit to meritolly on YouTube) and got totally obsessed, so a lot of this playlist will be in Cyrillic! I couldn’t just leave it there though, so I packed this weeks show with tons of other international shoegaze, Midwest emo, and math rock. We’re touring the world of emo music, and since it only takes 90 minutes to orbit the earth, we should be able to see every country, and then some!
