U POP 🎤 ⛹🏻♀ ⛹️
Intro to Pop Without Poptimism
Go Poppies!
After finishing our final exams at RAWK U last week, Wub-Fur travels up state to the bucolic campus of their historic rivals, the University of POPularity (better known to fans of its sports teams as “U POP”) to enroll in their well-regarded summer Indie POPtimology program. We are excited to have the chance to study with many of the leading theorists and researchers in the POP field, including Best Coast, the Exbats, Extraa, White Denim, Mythical Motors, Deadbeat Beat, Jeanines, Peel Dream Magazine, and 13 more acts with P-H-D’s in P-O-P.
Apologies to 2018–19 Utah Utes Cheerleading Team co-captain Maddie M (our back cover photo model), Diplo & Don Diablo (they made us wanna Make You Pop), and Rock Against Racism (we borrowed the design of their iconic lapel button).

* Notes, Substitutions, & Omissions
All tracks released in 2019 † or 2020 ‡, except the Intro, which is from 2010, and the Flashlights’ track ◊, which was originally released in 2014 and reissued in 2019. As always, the tracklist, running order and times apply to the (canonical) Mixcloud version of the mix, which is the only version in which the Intro is heard (and has better segues). The Spotify and Apple Music versions omit the Rose Melberg Fanclub song. The Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube versions substitute “Dandelions” (3:42) by SALT (2019) for the Pernice Brothers track and a (slightly) older (2019) song by Mythical Motors, “The Deadly Choir” (3:42), for “Twin Sun Trajectory.”
