An all-indiepop podcast to kick off the year, featuring brand new, as-yet-unreleased songs by Tullycraft, Veronica Falls, Owl And Mouse, The Blanche Hudson Weekend, Haiku Salut, Paperfangs and Milky Wimpshake. Plus some of the songs that lit up last year, including the welcome return of The Wolfhounds, the stunning Hospitality (who put out my favourite album of 2012), and the brilliant Spook School, not to mention Allo Darlin', The Understudies, Shrag, The Puncture Repair Kit and Victoria And Jacob. Oh, and two old songs just to mix things up a little. The sublime krautpop of Prolapse from 1997, and a radio session track from 1993 by International Velvet, who were Jeff Fuccillo and Stuart Murdoch, later of Belle & Sebastian.

Owl And Mouse play the The Lexington in London on Sun Jan 6th, where their single will be given away for free.
Haiku Salut and Shrag play The Lexington on Thurs Jan 10th. You can order Haiku Salut's debut album here: http://haikusalut.com/
