After "Springwatch" one evening, we'd decided to create an impromptu Cloudberry night by putting records (well, 3" CD-r's) on. Like proper DJs do. Except it was at home, and we had to, er, stop the indie-pop after a bit, because we wanted to watch Newsnight.
Still, we thought we'd post our selection here for the Cloudberry-uninitiated, because it occurred to us that quite a few of the tunes can actually be downloaded from their website, should you fancy discovering new international indie-pop. We've asterisked those, in typical (stricken) office worker style.
