Dr. Marnie here!

Once upon a time in a magical land of college radio, I went by the moniker Miss Marnie Hotpants and Pop! & Circumstance was not the name of a music blog, but rather an actual weekly radio show. Its been many years since I revisited the underground lair known as KDVS, 90.3fm but I got an unexpected invitation to guest dj on Michael Leahy's (of Cool as Folk fame) show, One on One. His co-host Maggie Cat was out for the night and I had the pleasure of co-piloting the show for the evening. You can catch the archived show here!

That girl… I swear she looks so familiar… Hmmm…   Heehee, check out the June issue of Midtown Monthly, out now! 

This just in, all the way from sunny Sweden:

Hi Marnie!
My name is Rasmus Ek and I play in a band called Rena Rama. I want to thank you for putting our song klass 6B on your blog and want to inform you that our video to Klass 6B is now finished and on you tube:

Hope you like it!!

You got it Rasmus! And thanks for sharing a lil' bit of P&C on your band's website too! Its true what I said about the clogs and alcohol; your song is dangerous! And don't be shy about sending us your cool music and vids; here at P&C we have a particular affection for Swedish pop (and Ikea meatballs…). Yay!

Volume Allstars: Bubbleyummy

Right on BBC News. Great news story and might I add, fabulous headline?

Beck: Lloyd Price Express (John King remix)

In the tradition of Robot Week, today I’d like to imagine what the St. Petersburg Retro Auto club listens to when they get together. Make no mistake; this club looks RAD and my intentions in posting these photos are to celebrate these guys and endorse their club as a P&C-approved organization of cool. Plus, there’s no denying it; the handlebar and fur hat…? Serious badassery my friends. Major props to my Liddle Brudder for finding these guys on the web and sharing the wealth. Hmm, I’m thinking P&C endorsed clubs are gonna become the next big thing. Are you in a club and you have some photos of you guys having fun? Send them my way. Not in a club and have a couple friends? Make one up and send me some photos anyways (marnie@popandcircumstance.com). Do it. Do it.

Do. It.

In case you need to waste some time when you should really be, say, working tirelessly on updating your portfolio, then please go to http://hel-looks.com/ and check out Helsinki’s street fashion. The best part is today’s post which showcases one tough 3-year-old named Jermu. He’s wearing an eagle t-shirt and flower socks. He also likes red, cars and legos. Solid.
