(Almost all the images found on Discogs.)
From the Melons to the Milltown brothers, from the UK to the US, up to Germany, down to Spain, over to Japan & up through Mexico, here are thirty-two tracks that I think fit the definition of indiepop, or were influential to indiepop, or had something about them that linked them to that genre. This is the fourth episode in the letter M & I suspect there'll be a lot more. But you don't have to worry about my OCD alphabetizing again for another four months or so.
The show is now at the Self Help Radio home page, it's two hours long & split into two parts, what's in each part is below. I hope you find some delightful stuff here - I think it's all great!
