	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Johnny Allen
	4:07pm Terre T: Heya just now able to listen to u! THIS IS THE SHOW- I’ve been dying to hear🥳 Looking at the accuplaylist - total blast!
	4:08pm Birdman: 👻
	4:11pm Morgan: ah the breeders do a great cover of shocker in gloomtown
	4:13pm Terre T: YEAH!! Grifters “Soda Pop”!
	4:13pm DJ PB: Hi Terre! Nice of you join us!
	4:13pm Terre T: Bring back da 90s!
	4:15pm Terre T: Hey PB - can u remember where u were the first time u heard da GRIFTERS “Soda Pop” 7”? I can 😹😸
	4:16pm DJ PB: Terre... um... Our Music Center?
	4:17pm Terre T: Wow me too 😸
	4:19pm McGroovey: I had to get every GBV record when it came out. I didn't feel that compulsion for the Grifters. (I stopped buying every GBV record when they started coming out too often to keep up. There were other records to buy! And then I pretty much stopped buying any GBV records because I realized I already had enough GBV candy.)
	4:19pm convoy_pt2: Grifters any day of the week. Pollard exceeded his songwriting credits before the first ten thousand shit songs
	4:20pm Terre T: GRIFTERS - I’m DRUNK Yes! So glad I didn’t miss “90s Beatles vs Stones” set So good PB
	4:22pm DJ PB: I didn't expect this set to be quite so polarizing. I thought indie rockers were supposed to be apathetic.
	4:22pm TheNewLexGofer: Greetings from a seedy bar in New Lexington, Ohio! Pledge, y'all!
	4:24pm Baja Joe: All this is beautiful noise exactly what I need right now.
	4:25pm medson: Great show PB. I would’ve commented earlier but I was too lazy to get up and get my phone.
	4:25pm rx scabin: Grifters!
	4:25pm McGroovey: I've got nothing against the Grifters; I just never developed a Grifters habit, because I somehow never heard them enough to know whether I wanted to spend $4 for a 7", or $6 or $8 for a used CD at Sounds.
	4:26pm rx scabin: GBV, too commercial. ;)
	4:26pm DJ PB: @medson: That is the 90s indie rock way.
	4:27pm McGroovey: Oh, I forgot! Also, some of my favorite songs on GBV records were the Tobin Sprout songs, and when his songs stopped appearing, the GBV records weren't quite as compelling.
	4:27pm hifivicky: grifters / gbv were literally my liiiiifeeee back then. so much so that I feel like I don't need to hear them now but when I do I'm like I NEEDED THAT 💙
	4:30pm DJ PB: @McGroovey: Yup. No slur on anyone else in GBV but those Sprout songs were so great and an excellent yang to Pollard's ying.
	4:30pm Terre T: Yer Slaying Me
	4:32pm ?: This is great! So much fun Thanks!
	4:33pm TheNewLexGofer: Isolation Drills forever!
	4:43pm pgalub: Hey Paul and everyone!
	4:44pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Digging today's show Paul!!
	4:44pm Terre T: Thanks PB AND YES vote for HALLOWEEN show
	4:46pm DJ PB: Well of course YOU do, Terre! Thanks Jeff! And thanks for the pledge!
	4:49pm Mung: Great show. Can’t wait for hallowe’en now! Bring it on
	4:53pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oh man I had this TJSA record many many years ago. Sold most of my 7" singles to a guy in the West Village in the first few years of this millennium :-(
	4:53pm Pauly from Clifton: Awright, Ron House!
	4:55pm rx scabin: Thank you, DJPB.
	4:57pm radioronan: Thanks Paul Bruno!
	4:57pm Rustydoo: Inhalants song was so sick thank you !
	4:58pm McGroovey: TJSA is the only one if these bands in this set that was on my radar in the nineties. I guess I associated then with GBV, for one thing. And I first heard them on a bill with another band I liked, at (I think) Brownies. I can't remember what the other hand was. Th'Faith Healers, maybe?
	4:58pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, Paulie B! Sweet show!
	4:59pm McGroovey: Fine show 2day
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ PB ~
	5:01pm DJ PB: Thanks everyone!

October 24, 2021: I Was a Teenage Indie Rocker
On the final day of Singles Going Steady week, Paul digs into his massive collection of one of the few sectors of the used vinyl market that hasn't grown in value at all in the past 30 years: 90s indie rock 7-inches. Spend two hours with Paul hearing how he spent his high school years instead of going out or preparing for a future.
