Gumdrops and Lollipops began with a set about lions, riffed on Rivers Cuomo's "Superfriend" for awhile, and then got into some power pop for a bit. (Hey, what's with this new release from the Feminists, didn't they break up?)

Carload of Whatever mostly featured chart releases I hadn't probed yet. I also played some non-chart songs that hearken back to the early 1990s/ late 1980s. If you can ever get your hands on it, please read the back of Vampire Can Mating Oven. Burying master tapes for songs because you're worried about exposure to cosmic rays? Camper van Beethoven is so wacky...
