the appendix
Contradicting last week's promise, get ready for 'The History of popular music through the medium of second hand vinyl part 6: The Appendix'
Comprising a mixture of songs of the nineties, songs from musicals and other stuff we forgot during the last fie weeks along with the usual random chat, a singular shiny disk and hopefully the return of the mystery bag this show promises to be something our fan really shouldn't miss.

pt 5: 80's synth nightmare
At the end of a very long and winding road, we've reached the fifth and final part of 'The history of popular music through the medium of second hand vinyl'
The 80's synth pop nighmare will cover all manner of music from 1984-1990 olus perhaps a couple of 90s tunes thrown in for good measure. Expect all three kinds of music; Stock, Aitken AND Waterman, as well as a smattering of classier fair and - if Oxfam have got their act together - a wee mystery bag to get your blood flowing.

In the fourth part of the History of Popular Music through the medium of second hand vinyl, Joe and Paul are gonna cover 77-84. Covering, punk, disco, new wave, the birth of hip hop and more we'll be continuing on this whistle stop, and gap filled history of recorded music. Tune in and get yourself educated.

the seventies part 1: the next big thing
This Week on Music for Pleasure 'The Next big thing: The Seventies Part 1 | The history of popular music through the medium of bad quality 2nd hand vinyl part 3'
Having scoured the record collection, there's no easy way of saying this, too much happened in the seventies. A paired down list of must include artists from the seventies has reached the mid thirties, and that's without any Zepplin, Sabbath, Sex Pistols, Kraftwork and many others.
Therefor this week's journey through the history of popular music is going to ignore the fact that a decade is 10 years long and stop just before the invention of punk commonly believed to be in 1977. We'll be attempting to play as many of the artists and bandswho tried and failed to be 'The Next Beatles' while widening and developing what is popular music.
We may even find time to fit in a mystery bag megamix too.
