Here's a picture of my cat Bluto, with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Ziggy Bowie. Bluto is often twee but on this day was feeling a little glam. I said to him, "You're supposed to be modeling my 'indiepop a to z' blog post! You should be twee!" He just stared at me & said, "I'm an alligator. I'm a mama-papa coming for you."
This is my reminder that I return to my Indiepop A To Z series three times a year, at the ends of April, August, & December. Since it's the end of December, I will be returning to the series this week. I am currently in the letter S where I suspect I will be for a very long time. I am beginning with The Sedgemorons & who knows where I'll end.
In the early days I didn't schedule this project with such regularity. It seems I started doing it thrice a year in 2011. I first started doing it on the show Ear Candy in Austin until the host, Jennifer, said to me, "Will this ever be finished? It's boring!" At which point I would do it when either I subbed her show without her or, later, after I left KOOP, on my own show. I think the indiepop scene is somewhat more subdued these days - or else there's just so much music out there now that it's impossible - or very difficult - to keep up. So though I try to be as comprehensive as I can, I am sure I am leaving some artist or bad out.

These are things I tried to explain to Bluto Bowie. But instead he told me, "Keep your mouth shut. You're squawkin' like a pink monkey bird!" Then he went to see if there was any kibble around in the places I normally leave it for him.
Maybe he'll be more agreeable tomorrow.
