Sound is a Pound - Episode 5

Download

We loved the last Sound is a Pound so much that we thought we’d go away and record another. You know the drill - each of us goes into a Poundland and buys two albums for £1 then “gifts” them to the other two hosts. You’d be surprised at some of the gems you can find in a Poundland store, actually…

But we opted not to buy any of those classics. Instead, we opted for something a little more…bland. Mark got A Place in the Sun by Lit, Chris got Gran Turismo by The Cardigans and Dave got Deserter’s Songs by Mercury Rev.

In a sea of beige, these were the best we could come up with. The results are not quite what you expect though. Well, not in every case. Lit is sheer garbage, but Chris and Dave managed to find unexpected things in their albums. Things that they, well, liked is a strong word, but certainly appreciated in some way.

We hope you enjoyed this excursion into Poundland albums. We’ll have another for you soon. Next week? Manic Pop Thrill by That Petrol Emotion and the return of our favourite Italian, Ferro.
