J: A Beginner's Guide

One day, as I was hanging out in a friend's dorm room when Jay texted me, asking to show him bands that were outside the spectrum of his "limited view of music". At the request of my College associate Jay, I have assembled this (relatively speaking) listenable mix of Indie Rock songs for people just starting out on the genre. Seasoned professionals should look elsewhere, but this is a pretty sweet collection regardless.
