Indie band 

The term Indie nowadays describes a current trend since around 2003 to consider "indie" a certain musical style rather than a stance towards commercialism.
This style is in most cases a mixture of wave, early punkrock, singer/songwriter music, electronica and above all whiney singing.

Ironically most bands among those "indie" bands are not part of an independent music scene, but as part of the musical mainstream rather dependent.

Indie Bands With a Mission 

Indie Bands With a Mission, also known as IBWAM, is a volunteer group/informal, non-profit organization. Our goal is to write cookbooks that feature a few local/unknown bands and the band members' favorite recipes.

The profits from each cookbook will go towards whatever charity the bands featured in the cookbook want to help. A few food banks in the Washington, DC area will benefit from the profits as well.

The first cookbook is Wonder Treats That Bands Fantasize About.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
