08/10/2014 Duração: 50minEpisode 12 of Nerd Monster Radio is here, with me your lovely host, Jose Aparicio. This weeks was originally going to be a tit for tat Spanish to English, but I ended up gravitating towards the strong female vocals of lots of the Spanish music I have, and focusing on that. So I paired a handful of those with some English counter parts. All in all its a very strong set of songs. 0. SONG - BAND - ALBUM1. Me Quieren En Chile - Los Abandoned - Mixtape2.
