I see what you did there.

And Riverside interview too!

Ruled the world (ok, the indie LP chart) for a time in 1985…

Unrest “Make Out Club” Perfect Teeth 4AD Records (1993) Director: David Roth

Put together this mix of jangle and twee classics (Field Mice, Lucksmiths, Beat Happening, etc) + an interview with Charles from Field School and formerly Math & Physics Club! If you’re an indie pop nerd like me please check it out :) mixcloud.com/wcrs/paisley-r…

Lush “Hypocrite” Split 4AD Records (1994) Director: Matthew Amos

one of my fave tracks of the summer. Norway’s @iwasaking again channeling Teenage Fanclub but in their own majestic way with Anne Lise on vocals. iwak.bandcamp.com/track/favourit…

A ridiculously long time ago we ran a record label. & then nearly as ridiculously long ago, we threw a big party & closed it down - tough to do & probably not very fair on the bands - but ultimately right. Thanks to those of you who were there & helped make made it a great night!

Listening to @SlippersCozy 2022 debut always leaves me wondering if the Seattle trio has any new music brewing. cozyslippers.bandcamp.com/album/cozy-sli…

This hits a lot of high points over four decades.

Always glad to revisit the charms of Rochester, NY’s early 80s indie scene and the slight off-kilter jangle of Absolute Grey. youtu.be/67IH7sjKeKo

Indiepop (one word) is alive and kicking… Thanks, in part, to the return of Young Scum. youngscum.bandcamp.com/album/lighter-…

The US’s finest 90s shoegaze band imo, Alison's Halo, have an expanded version of their compilation on Bandcamp, and wonderfully are playing some Southwest/West Coast shows. alisonshalo.com/album/eyedazzl…

Been far too long since I made a mixtape, but I'm back to cap this week with an indie pop roundoup that culls some faves from the past few years. Less straight jangle-pop this time around, a slightly smudged collection that leans more Creation than Sarah. bit.ly/4hdFgRj

When the “every track could be a single” saying isn’t a cliché.

This distance from “do I need this?” to “of course” is measured in microns. Kudos Pete Paphides needlemythology.bandcamp.com/album/sensitiv…

Discovered on Cherry Red Records Roots of Indiepop box set, are The Page Boys - a one 1984 single precursor to One Thousand Violins. youtu.be/ENjQsisJ3Ag
