It's the FRIDAY'S BEST POP SONG EVER podcast episode #9

On the latest episode of FBPSE, I cover a Pop Offensive perennial, "Italopop" by Ally. An infectious anthem celebrating the unifying power of pop music, it debuted on the world stage at Chile's Vina del Mar song festival in 2014.  This factoid affords me the opportunity to also delve into the phenomenon of international song competitions. In other words, yes, there will be Eurovision.

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.

Pop Goes the Offensive.

The archived version of the latest episode of Pop Offensive is now available for streaming, so you can relive the magical evening of Tuesday, July 15, just as if you had stepped into a very limited time machine. You can find the episode here on the 9th Floor Radio site, and the complete playlist here on the Pop Offensive Facebook page.

That said, I'd like to apologize for an audio quality issue on this episode. It turned out that we were only broadcasting one channel of the music, so a couple of the songs sound a little strange. This is all part of us dealing with some new equipment in the run up to 9th Floor Radio's taking its place on the FM dial as KGPC, a full fledged broadcast station. We at Pop Offensive are very excited about this transition, even though it means that we won't be able to say "fuck" on the air anymore. Or "cock". In any case, we tracked down the cause of the glitch and it will not be repeated.
