Every four months of so, Self Help Radio returns to a series begun way back in 2005, when it was a young show on a station in Austin. It was an attempt to play in alphabetical order artists & bands who fit the genre definition of "indiepop" (the Wikipedia gets it right) plus I added some bands that I thought were influential. It should have been more of a survey, but I decided to be a completist, & now, 65 episodes later, we're on the letter P.
One thing is true: indiepop is delightfully radio-friendly & there may be sounds you haven't heard before. So please have a listen, & perhaps you'll want to hear earlier shows, some of which you can find on the Self Help Radio website.
Be as twee as you wanna be!
Note on the images in the collage: they are mostly gathered from Discogs & private scans.
