& there's another episode in the can. How was it? There sure are a lot of bands that I consider indiepop, aren't there? & they don't have all the same sound, do they? These are a lot of questions. Perhaps they're rhetorical.
Sometimes I wonder if an archivist must also be a completist. The week before I do this show, I listen to a lot of music. If I had my druthers, if my druthers hadn't been gone long before I knew I had druthers, I would be even more inclusive. I would say, as the kids do, "This may not be indiepop, but it's indiepop-adjacent!" Do the kids say that? I mean, with words other than indiepop. I haven't been around kids for a long time. They grow up, up, & away so fast. Or is that just superkids?
In any event, this might be a fun show for you to listen to while you're waiting in line for precious gasoline, since one of the main places we get that from is under water right now. I don't mean to make light of the ongoing tragedy in Houston & the Texas coast - my heart goes out to the people there, I hope they find themselves someplace safe & I hope that the city recovers quickly. I just hope those people who are waiting in lines & griping about it understand their inconvenience is minor compare to actual suffering just three hundred miles away.
Jeez, I didn't mean to get weird. It's on my mind, you know. The show can be listened to at the Self Help Radio website. There's a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) you'll need to listen, if you want. The show is in two parts; what's in those parts is below.
In four months, if the world hasn't turn into Mad Max: Fury Road, we'll finish the "Ma"s & get to the "Mc"s. Promise!
