I was inspired by Sideroom's blog, my old musical jousting partner, we'd often in our youth make a mad dash to Waterfront records where a brown paper bag lay under the counter and whoever got there first got the fruits that lay within.
I've spent way too much of my hard earned over the years in this fashion, collecting vinyl which has been lovingly cared for. I thought it about time to share the love. Most of my singles are indiepop from the eighties.
For the first podcast you'll hear the first singles from Acid House Kings and the Orchids, UK indiepop from The Beat Hotel and Gravy Train and Aussie magic from Tender Engines and The Unstrung Harp, who sadly have sunk without a trace! Add 2 corkers from US Bag-O-Shells and Heartworms and you're POPPEN-EM with JONNY B!
