Many moons ago, looking at the list of bands at TweeNet, I thought it might be a fun project to do an "a to z" type series for that genre, indiepop, which had become important to me. It was never popular, it was even somewhat maligned, but I used the list as an excuse to both play more indiepop on the radio & to discover artists I didn't know about. I couldn't help adding artists that I felt had been excluded &, ever the completist, I thought it might be good to add artists that influenced the genre as well. & thus a project that should have been over some time ago is now in its 68th installment & at the letter P.
Will we finish the letter P tonight? I don't think so. But listen in! The show will air on 90.7fm in Portland & online everywhere at KBOO dot fm & it'll happen from midnight to 3am. I happen to find indiepop to be quite diverse & you'll hear bands from all over the world. But then I'm a fan!
