This year was a medley of emotions: righteous anger, spontaneous joy, extreme chaos, much yearning, an urge to leave parties early to go to sleep – it was also the year before we knew how bad the world could get. In this episode, we celebrate songs that reminisce about the time (almost) everyone left the band, and spontaneously jammed about a long lost off-white sari with a gold zari border. 2019 was also made extra special by our very first Ladies Special, a now-annual tradition where we spotlight indie women on that oh-so-auspicious occasions of International Women's Day. The voice you hear at the top of this episode is, our very own Audio Engineer, Nihar Temkar, who goes back to being 10 and when his curious mind was fascinated by his grandfather’s cassette recorder, wondering, “how on earth does this little ribbon of tape hold music?” Song List: Sid Sriram - 2 am Prayer (04:50 - 09:01) MC Manmeet Kaur - Liberal Slavery (10:14 - 12:57) Aankh Micholi - Sacchai (13:32 - 18:48) The Fanculos - Can I Ask You A Rhetorical Question (19:24 - 24:23) Ladies Compartment & Friends - Conversation (25:24 - 33:19) Swadesi - Akhri Mauka (33:53 - 36:47) Abhilasha Sinha - After Party (38:06 - 42:13) Blackstratblues - [Random Improv At Sunset] (43:16 - 47:11) tig3rbabu - Maria (48:34 - 54:56) Voctronica - [Spontaneous Jam] (55:50 - 58:43) Kamakshi Khanna Collective - Breathe (59:47 - 01:05:31) aswekeepsearching - Rooh (01:08:18 - 01:12:41) Fame The Band - Over And Out (01:13:17 - 01:17:02) Come be our friend: Instagram @maedinindia Twitter @maedinindia CREDITS: Host: Mae Instagram: @maemariyam Twitter: @maebemaebe Producer: Shaun Fanthome and Meghna Gulati Sound Edited & Mastered by: Kartik Kulkarni Artwork: Alika Gupta
