This is a photograph of one of the heat reflectors in Kibble Palace, Botanic Gardens, Glasgow - and nothing else. This programme was meant to be a bit electronic with a cold and crisp soundscape and was named after a Wild Swans song. Which doesn't really fit... because the Swans' sound was quite warm, and so are the tracks from Souvenir and Gwenno. But I hope you'll like it anyway. And just when I thought I'd shorten the show and start later, it seems that they've fixed the problem so there was no point starting five past! Well, all you missed was an Air France song called "Never Content". At least you'll get the to hear the intro theme now. The Bridal Shop - Spectrum of Clarity Trembling Blue Stars - Until the Dream Gets Broken Sovenir - Allô , allô They Go Boom!! - I Wish You Were Someone Else The Wild Swans - No Bleeding The Wake - Torn Curtain The Snowdrops - Mad World Simpático - Garden Greene Hal - Election Day The Magnetic Fields - In My Secret Place Gwenno - Lime Chordial Section 25 - Looking From a Hilltop
funnily enough i was playing 'looking from a hilltop' today. section 25 were always hilariously bad live it still makes me shudder at the thought. but i did like their disco numbers. this and the marcel king single are were factory ended for me...
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.

It was the first time I listened to your show. Nice atmosphere, I like the fact that you have a concept for each show. And I loved the french song ;).
