They Go Boom!!'s first release was a Dolphin 7 flexi called The Summer's On Its Way EP that came with the fourth number of the This Almighty Pop! fanzine, written by Stephen Maughan. Which means in 1990. It's not really an ep as it only has two songs, but maybe they just wanted to put that title on it. Which is a good idea of course, and the reason why it turns up here now. The other song will be part of Now You're Perfect on Monday. "Age of Innocence" is the first track on the flexi, and it comes courtesy of Stephen.
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.
