Ep. 39 feat. Arjun S Ravi (Part 1)

<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1483099709109_249681">In a new episode special of #MaedinIndia, Mae picks indie scene stalwarts to give their pick of Indian indie music they love and play it across the show. This week's guest is Arjun S Ravi, music journalist for over a decade, editor of Indecision & NH7.in, director of Only Much Louder and my old boss. He talks about being a music geek & journalist, why he thinks your band sucks,NH7.in, and his new docu-series Standing By (that chronicles the Indian indie music since the 1920s). He also takes me through his playlist of songs that triggered his fanboy-love for the independent music scene in India.</p> <p>Songs:</p> <p>Zero (alternative rock band from Mumbai)<br /> Song: Hate in Em<br /> Album: Procrastination<br /> <a href="http://nh7.in/zero" data-cke-saved-href= "http://nh7.in/zero">http://nh7.in/zero</a></p> <p>Pentagram (electro-rock act from Mumbai)<br /> Song: Ten<br /> Album: Up<br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pentagramindia/" data-cke-saved-href= "https://www.facebook.com/pentagramindia/">https://www.facebook.com/pentagramindia/</a></p> <p>Medusa (progressive metal band from Mumbai.
