Thanks to Grace, Tom and misc League of Pop ppl for this weeks sounds. Lots of new stuff here which i was close to saving up - but that would be against the whole point of the exercise. I think.

A fortnight from today (June 1st, coinciding with a Poptimism at the Union Tavern) will be exactly a year of these podcasts, and I’m hoping to bring you a bumper edition then. And if it’s not bursting with new stuff from you, I’m simply going to indulge myself with repeats of my favourite tunes from over the preceding 40-odd episodes.

But I still need stuff for next week’s regular podcast. So send stuff to: poptimism.podcast@googlemail.com

   The reason “Play Wid Punks” was downloaded is that it is on the SINKA RIDDIM.
