Compilations of the Gods: An Occasional Series

Long time readers may recall our pal ex-pat Brit DJ WAYNE LUNDQVIST FORD, who has a very cool radio show (Ice Cream Man Power Pop and More), that is heard on a terrestrial station in Sweden (also streamed world wide, obviously) and who plays the sort of music that informs the mission statement of this here blog.

Said readers may also recall that, a few times a year, Wayne puts together compilations of that sort of music that he then offers on-line.

Which brings us to the most recent one -- released this past Friday -- which is charmingly monikered SONGS WE LEARNT AT SUNDAE SCHOOL.

Which features 163 -- count 'em, 163 -- tracks by that many bands and solo artists from around the world. All available, for free (cheap), for download and streaming at the link above.

Among them -- holy kazoosis!!! -- songs by The Hounds...



...and The Floor Models...



...both of which include work by some asshole whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels.

You should also check out tracks by Friends of PowerPop Mike Daly and the Planets....



...Nick Piunti...



...and Dave Sheinin.



But everything on the comp I've listened to so far has been well worth hearing, and god bless Wayne for getting this (and his earlier albums) together. Patrons of the arts get points in heaven, as far as I'm concerned.

Meanwhile, you can hear more of these songs...

...on Tuesday over at another radio show -- "Angel's Indie Lounge" -- at BELTER-RADIO, (out of the UK) at 5pm (EST).
