(Almost all these covers came from Discogs.)
At this point, what is there to say about this series? That it's delightfully alphabetical? That it's quite poppy? That it's a fool's errand which I'll never finish so really why bother? Of course it's all those things & more.
It's the more that I adore. You know what for. Though there's a number up there, I don't keep score. & I'm sincere to the core. Like the band buttons you wore, you know what's in store. Songs that soar till your heart is sore. It's either/or not neither/nor. Making it isn't a chore, so make it yours, your listening du jour. I'm afraid I am beginning to bore, so before you start to snore or to show me the door, let me sit on the floor & just roar, roar, roar:
The show can be listened to now & any time at the Self Help Radio web site. It's in two parts, each about an hour long; the songs in the two parts are listed below. Oh! If you've never listened, you'll need a username & a password - those are on the front page. & previous editions of the Indiepop A To Z series can be found around here. If you wanna listen.
Because I was climbing a tor with a boar & a centaur whom I was trying to ignore outdoors when one said, "Señor, I implore you to be my mentor!" Etc.
