Students for Scarves and Charm

my secret world

It's that time of year again when things go bump in the night, suspicious shapes fly past the moon and Halloween Specials are obligatory. Instead of digging up indie pop covers of The Monster Mash and Thriller, this week's Student's for Scarves and Charm is resurrecting the dead. I discuss Lucy Dawkin's forthcoming documentary about long dead but still legendary indie pop label Sarah Records and exhuming some of the label's classic releases from the crypt. The Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook feature pays tribute to Sleater-Kinney's Good Things in honour of members Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss and Corin Tucker's separate musical resurrections.

There's also young blood to be feasted upon in the form of Sweater Girls, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and this week's Unsigned Act The History of Apple Pie who you can hear more from at http://www.myspace.com/thehistoryofapplepie .
