12/19/2012 Modern Kicks
With only two days before the much hyped MAYAN APOCALYPSE, Sean plans for the worst by curating a special two-hour playlist filled with songs about the end of the world and a few of the best songs from the past year.
Hunker down, grab your canned goods and tune in to what might potentially be the last episode of Modern Kicks ever -- including new songs from PONY TIME, POP ZEUS, PLATEAUS, PAWS, and PRISSY CLERKS!
