Perfect Unpop

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:25:08 +0100

PERFECT UNPOP is based on a dangerous assumption: that if you were ever touched by John Peel’s enthusiasm for spiky ‘70s pop, then by now you’ve probably found yourself a copy of the Undertones’ ‘Teenage Kicks’. Instead, here’s a collection of Peel favourites a little less likely to be anthologised, eulogised, or to crop up on your iPod.
Anyone who ever cuddled up alone at night with Peel will recognise the glee with which he pounced on these devil-may-care, slightly broken pop songs. Indie also-rans these bands may have been in the Sting ‘n’ Bono scheme of things, but add up all these flashes of underdog genius, and here’s a CD to rival any other from the era of the questionable stringy tie.
