So good, in fact, that it should probably be renamed “Paste Month.” In celebration of May’s new sounds and in anticipation of the tours that will surely ensue, Josh, Nick, and Kevin play tunes from new albums by Fleet Foxes, Gruff Rhys, Okkervil River, the Elected, David Bazan, and My Morning Jacket, and that’s just a taste of the great new music out this month.

Songs by Mariners fans Death Cab for Cutie, Twins fans The Hold Steady, Mets fans Yo La Tengo, Braves fans Ponderosa, and Diamondbacks fan Roger Clyne are some of the tunes featured in this episode.

Max had an especially crazy SXSW experience, as he saw, live reviewed via Twitter, and photographed 100 bands from Tuesday through Saturday of SXSW week. This episode is a tribute to Max’s great intern work, as the Paste guys feature tracks by a few of the 100 bands Max captured at the fest. Hacienda, Wanda Jackson, Charles Bradley (a 60-something who just released his first album and won Max the Intern’s vote for best performance,) Turf War, Little Tybee, and Seryn are just a taste of what Max experienced last week at SXSW.

Of course the Paste guys pay tribute to the B-52s and Pylon, two bands that touted Athens pride from the dawning of the town’s music scene. More Athens acts featured on this episode of Signs of Life include Olivia Tremor Control, Modern Skirts, Dreams So Real, Of Montreal, and Futurebirds.
