“Artisanal” POP
This afternoons POP Goes The World show has been meticulously, and painstakingly crafted.
Using only the finest of minor chords played on the jangliest of guitars.
The most lovelorn and mopiest of singers with just enough twee to make you wanna pull out that cardigan sweater from the back of your closet, and………HEY, who chose this font?
I said go with something simple and rustic!
I’m trying to be deep and sensitive here!
Oh well…..

The Common People’s POP
NPR did a story 10 years ago on the 20th anniversary of “Britpop”, marking the beginning of the era as Sept. 8, 1993 when Suede took home the Mercury Music Prize, Britain and Ireland’s “album of the year” award, for its self-titled debut.
While a valid argument could indeed be made for that, on this afternoon’s Pop Goes The World show I’ll do my own “Britpop” celebration playing some of my favorite Britpop tracks of the era, and also taking it back a few years to show who laid the ground work, and also extending it to see who’s currently picked up the torch.

It’s So Lonely On A Limb
I can’t save the Queen, but I can take the opportunity to play two hours of Brit Pop.
That seems a worthwhile tribute, and so we shall.
