Here is the other song! It wasn't released until 1998 but would've probably been a Choo Choo Train release if it had come out at the time. Now it can be found on the Hey Wimpus compilation that rounds up nearly all the songs Paul and Eric recorded under the Choo Choo Train moniker. Strangely enough, it also includes The Velvet Crush song "Walking Out On Love" that came out on a Raving Pop Blast flexi (the label started by The Groove Farm). It seems like Paul and Eric would like to see The Choo Choo Train as the demo stage of Velvet Crush. And if The Springfields was Eric's "side project", perhaps Bag-O-Shells was Paul's? The Bag-O-Shells singles still haven't been re-released, but you'll get to hear one of their tunes on the show quite soon, I promise.
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.
