Apple Orchard have released a few cassettes and a seven-inch so far. This year they will finish their first album, and it's one of the records I'm most looking forward to at the moment. They're putting it out on their own new label Haymarket and it is to be called Half-Steps Toward Bright Skies. They've had lots of unreleased material so far, so I wonder if some of that will be included or if it's all new stuff. This is an old demo and it's also their most Field Mice-sounding song. Maybe that's why I like it! Or maybe it's becase I've spent the last two nights at B&Bs... Which do you like best - the bed or the breakfast?
Hi...just a correction...Apple Orchard's upcoming debut CD on their label Haymarket Recordings will be called "Half-Steps Toward Bright Skies". "Mutual Admiration Society" is actually the name of a Philippine indiepop compilation they appeared in back in 1991.
cheers and thanks for posting (finally) Splash1...looks yummy!
Opppps...Hey Ryan, thanks for correcting my correction! :-) I was behind on my year of release (by a decade! haha!)...my weakness...detailed proof-reading!
Chris, please bring back the podcast downloads...even if it's one continous mp3...
This was a combined blog and radio show about POP! music. I started the blog when I moved to Glasgow and it ran during my stay there. We broadcast weekly from Glasgow University's Subcity.org. The shows are catalogued as SPLASHes, and you can still listen to all of them. There are also some rare or hard-to-find indiepop gems for download, and these are labelled DROP. Have fun while it lasts!
or any encouraging words you might have, can be sent to this address. But it'll be a whole lot easier to just leave a comment! I won't check the mail too often. If you've got more general ponderings, such as "what's all this pop stuff about anyway?", your questions might be answered by the manifesto I wrote some time ago, for better or worse.

Thanks for the correction, Jessel. "Mutual.." actually came out in 2001 :)
Thanks for the post Chris. I think I'll choose Bed.
Cheers.
