Self Help Radio 083121: Indiepop A To Z # 66

(All images from Discogs.)

You know the drill!  Another four months, another dizzying set of delicious indiepop in a semblance of alphabetical order.  This time around - still in the letter P! - we started with the Pets & ended up with Pixies.  & don't fight me, I know Pixies aren't indiepop.  I often add bands I feel are indiepop-adjacent or influential to the genre - & Pixies influenced lots of bands, including ones much more twee than they.

The show was live in the KBOO studio, & I managed to say a few things in-between the songs.  I also decided against including a performer I wanted to include - but you'll have to listen to hear my real-time decision making.  Truly it was gripping radio.

You can listen now & whenever at both the Self Help Radio website & at the show's page at the KBOO website.  If you go to the former, make sure you remember you'll need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp).  Otherwise, both recordings are exactly the same.  Every song I played is below.

Back to the normal nonsense next week!
