C’erano una volta le cassette, gli amici intenditori di musica e le compilation che ti facevano scoprire nuovi generi e musicisti. Abbiamo cercato di riproporre questo ‘rito’ vintage in chiave moderna chiedendo consiglio a chi di musica ne sa più di tutti: gli addetti ai lavori. Tre canzoni, tre scelte, nessuna limitazione. Sono queste le uniche regole che This Is Pop? ha seguito per chiedere a musicisti, etichette, giornalisti, speaker radiofonici una playlist di tre brani. L’entusiasmo che ci ha coinvolto nel raggiungere tutte queste persone è pari a quello che abbiamo riscontrato nelle risposte: il risultato è una rubrica dal titolo This Is All Yours, un regalo importante che, come le compilation in cassetta, ci permetterà di conoscere generi e artisti di ogni tempo e, soprattutto, di ascoltare buona musica.
