Teenpop Lock and Drop Vol. 1

Thanks so much to Flavorpill's Tumblr, Vulture, VH1, MTV's Tumblr, Buzzfeed, and the Stranger's LineOut for reblogging my first eva full mixtape-type-thingy, the high/low-concept "Teenpop Lock and Drop."

Wrote a bit of context here and stream it here on Tumblr.

For anyone who finds this blog through the mix, I'll just note that the non-Tumblr Cure for Bedbugs blog, now rarely updated, focuses almost exclusively on teenpop from 1998 thru c. 2007 or so (post-Spice Girls, pre-Bieber). I've written about this stuff a lot for the (sadly) retired Stylus Magazine in my Sugar Shock columns. My most extensive write-up was in their Bluffer's Guide to post-2000 teenpop.

And for the best day-to-day coverage/criticism of current pop (the place I go to find a lot of the contemporary stuff I used), check out the Singles Jukebox.
