Do The Pop! Episode 1 (January 2011)

Welcome to our first attempt at making a podcast! Jonathan Buck and myself (Mike Hooker) thought we'd test our radio prowess and present 80 minutes chuck full of sheer idiocy and amateurish shenanigans while packing in some great tunes for your listening enjoyment.

This episode features segments dedicated to some of the outstanding power pop records that came out of Milwaukee in the early 80's as well as various parts of Canada from '77-'81. We also have a very in-depth interview with Paul Collins who gives us all the dirt on how he came to meet Jack Lee in San Francisco, how they hooked up with Peter Case and formed the Nerves, why they ended up splitting and what he's up to these days.

    We'll tackle the Aussies in due time. I'm thinking Boston and Detroit for the next ep.
