Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out: The Television Personalities Radio Sessions (1980-1993)

Description

This new collection features iconic radio sessions by Television Personalities, masters of DIY post-punk and indie pop. Comprising two 80s BBC sessions broadcast by John Peel and Andy Kershaw, as well as a rare 1992 WMBR set, this double album offers covers of Buzzcocks, The Raincoats, and Daniel Johnston, along with unreleased songs and a bonus downloadable WFMU session from 1993. The band left its mark with its DIY style and subversive approach. Their track "Part Time Punks," which became a classic on John Peel's show, introduced their unique world to the public. Throughout the 80s, Daniel Treacy established himself as a brilliant storyteller, observing the modern world with poetry and irony. 'Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out' immortalizes this quest for psychedelic pop, blending dark memories and dreamlike wonders, captured like whispered confessions through a transistor radio under the pillow, offering a deep dive into Treacy's mind.
