The Sounds in My Head is a biweekly music show featuring songs and bands you might have missed. Hosted by Daniel since 2004.

Musically The Sounds in My Head attempts to be fairly eclectic, but probably tends to lean towards "indie pop" music. Also, I try to squeeze in as much left-wing propaganda as possible between tracks.
