"Artisanal" POP

 

 

 

This afternoons POP Goes The World show has been meticulously, and painstakingly crafted.

Using only the finest of minor chords played on the jangliest of guitars.

The most lovelorn and mopiest of singers with just enough twee to make you wanna pull out that cardigan sweater from the back of your closet, and………HEY, who chose this font?

I said go with something simple and rustic!

I’m trying to be deep and sensitive here!

Oh well…..
