POP-A-LOOZA! BUBBLEGUM MUSIC IS THE NAKED TRUTH: The Audio Companion

 

Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post is a look back at my notes for a proposed CD compilation to accompany the 2001 book Bubblegum Music Is The Naked Truth.

As we discussed here, all of this bubblegum stuff came in the aftermath of my informal history of bubblegum music, which was published in Goldmine in 1997 and subsequently edited to a shorter form for its inclusion in Bubblegum Music Is The Naked Truth. The bubblegum compilation ideas discussed in today's shared post took place after the unrelated bubblegum compilation proposal we chatted about last week.

A near-future shared post will recount one more adventure in trying (and failing) to compile various-artists pop CDs. Today, the aborted audio companion for Bubblegum Music Is The Naked Truth is the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
