Coming upon the fourth anniversary of this blog I reflect on
how it got started; from ’08 until ’11 my sons had a radio show on Rutgers University radio 90.3
The Core and I was a faithful listener and would call or submit requests of
tri-state and other indie bands that I was liking and knew they would also,
sometimes they had them in their library but too many times I had to submit a
dozen songs to get one they had on hand.
I started sending them mp3’s, "here play these." Frustrated
about how much good music was unknown by too many people I started this blog,
hence the name Popa’s Tunes.
Most of the
bands/artists I highlight have too small of a fan base, (which make them all
the more endearing to me) but they are deserved of a wider audience. So I urge you to help me on this mission,
listen to something new, if you like them share, spread the word, and support
them with love and accolades. Who knows one day they may be on the cover of
Rolling Stone and you can say, “I knew them when”
It's been a long while since I posted a mix, so in celebration of this pompous occasion here is a Popakazooza mix that never got posted, I'll call it The Lost Mix. Here
