It's Friday's Best Pop Song Ever--the podcast!

Today I'm debuting a mini-podcast of sorts based on Friday's Best Pop Song Ever. Not that it will replace that feature, mind you; I just thought it would be cool to occasionally delve into a song in more depth than to simply present it to you without comment. If you think this is something you might enjoy, please give it a listen and let me know what you think in the comments.

Pop Defensive

This past Wednesday's episode stands as testament to the indomitable spirit of Pop Offensive--proof that no malady, be it canine or technical,will keep us from delivering our message of hope to a battle ravaged world. Getting it to air required our emergency co-host Aaron Harbour to rebuild the KGPC website from scratch in a desperate race against time. To hear the result of our heroic struggle, simply go to the Pop Offensive archive, where the episode can be streamed in its entirety. If you are a deaf person with a vivid imagination, you can read the playlist for the show, which has just been posted over at the Pop Offensive Facebook page.

An offender of another gender

If you listened to Wednesday's all-girl episode of Pop Offensive, you know that proximity to all that raw feminine charisma left the men of Pop Offensive somewhat addled. For starters, Jeff made a dramatic late entrance, grasping the mike away from a young pretender to his throne. And yours truly, still recovering from my whirlwind trip to Southern California, found himself unable to hold up to Jeff's usual torrent of cryptic exclamations and non sequiturs. Still, we were able to hold things together enough to deliver up an exquisite selection of sounds, combining acts as diverse as the Ronettes, the Runaways, Francoise Hardy, and the Belle Stars into one united chorus of estrogen enriched awesomeness. If you missed it, your in luck; because the podcast version has just been posted over at the Pop Offensive archives. The complete playlist for the episode is also available on the Pop Offensive Facebook page.

By the way, this last marks the end of our experiment in bi-monthly episodes, at least for the time being. If you want it to be otherwise, it might help if you let us know how much you missed us when we come back.

Pop Offensive is tonight!

Tonight, Pop Offensive ups the estrogen levels with its first all-girl extravaganza. Be sure not to miss what is likely to be our best episode yet. You can either stream it live from the 9th Floor Radio website starting at 7pm PT, or download it later from the Pop Offensive archives. Tweet us to tell us how much you love us at @PopOffRadio.

On this week's Pop Offensive: Girls! Girls! Girls!

"Girls can't rock", once opined a budding philosopher, mere moments before having a spiked heel launched decisively into his groin area. These days, that the opposite of that statement is the case is so obvious that to offer proof of same would be superfluous. Yet, Jeff Heyman and I, being as much fans of clueless redundancy as we are of female music artists, propose to do just that. 

Join us this Wednesday, July 17th, as we treat you to a "no boys allowed" set brimming with girl groups, girl bands, ye ye girls, Japanese idols, soul divas, new wave vixens, and female singer-songwriters who defy the waifish stereotype. It all starts at 7pm PT, streaming live from 9thfloorradio.com. As always, Ladies are admitted free.
