Looks like the group stripped out my links on the previous post, so here's the link to the New Medicants INXS cover:

Happy New Year, audities list! I don't pop up much here anymore, but I did just read about this new collaboration between Joe Pernice and Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake and wanted to pass it along (if anyone else has mentioned it already, sorry I missed it).

Here's a sample -- the cover of the INXS song This Time.

Also, I didn't submit a top 20 list this year, but you can find my CHIRP Radio top ten list here.

Not every record is a pop record, but my #1, Allo Darlin's 'Europe' is one of my favorite indiepop releases not just of 2012, but of the last five years. I also highly recommend Mike Uva and the Bad Eyes if you're a fan of singer-songwriters like Damien Jurado, and the White Wires' 'WWIII' holds plenty of pleasures for fans of acts like the Nerves and the Undertones.

Best,
--Shawn
