Brainwaves – July 2, 2024 – Bubblegum pop gets stuck on your shoe
Written by Brian Blum on 01/07/2024
This is an episode that nostalgic Brainwaves listeners are going to love while other listeners are going to hate. But Brainwaves doesn’t mind being polarizing, at least not when the music is so infectious.It’s the first ever Bubblegum Pop episode of Brainwaves – two hours of sticky sweet top 40 hits from the 1960s and 70s from bands you know – and some you may have forgotten: The Partridge Family, the Archies, the Cowsills, the Cufflinks, the DiFranco Family, the Jackson Five, the Monkees, the Fifth Dimension, the BeeGees, the Marmalade, and much more. (Maybe this should be called the “the” show since so many of the bands start that way!)
