Nice Matthew Sweet pickup. I did a Richard X. Heyman video a LONG time ago - I actually got my copy of Living Room from Richard's wife as they did mail order - he for MANY years would actually come and do a concert in your house for only a few hundred bucks. Cornerstone is in my top 20 albums of all time and the best from him.

Hello Omaha introvert long time fan from Edmonton Alberta Canada and thanks to your channel you have exposed me to so much amazing music I would've never known what power pop was like shoes, the rain parade, the church and ride just so many more to mention thank you for your passion and love for music

Hi Hanna. Wow ! I can see you are going deep on your favorite genres on vinyl for this video. I mean I have seen you going deep on CD on Power Pop and Jangle before but not as much on vinyl like on your last few videos. I recently got some Power Pop vinyl from your first video I didn't have, Raspberries, Badfinger, Dwight Twilley, Records, Beat, Shoes, Creenshaw, Nick Lowe, just the basics, and also found a couple of Power Pop records I had on my own my closet !, a Bram Tachcovsky album and a really obscure PPop album from The Bottles, can you believe it? lol. I has those all those years on my neglected albums box and I didn't know they were power pop, but they are great. I think I'll have stop stop there cause the rest you are showing it's hard to find, but I'm hopeful the only real vinyl store on my country is having this sale, up to 25,000 old titles they have on their warehouse so I expect to find some great stuff there very cheap, cause I don't think they know anything about Jangle, alternative, punk, power pop etc. That Shoes album was a great find, I only have their next two albums, I think that one is very rare. Lastly I'm going to recommend to you this great PPop band from Mexico I have been a fan for some time called La Gusana Ciega, search for their song Tornasol (the live version) I think you'll love that. Heare is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7BnfNCKq7GsdYU.html

Hello Hanna; Good to see you hope you are well, & not getting too much snow. We are here in Snow City NY. The Shake Some action book looks good. Nice to have 45 rpm records as an attachment. All records should come that way. The Dwight Twilley LP's are good listens. Matthew Sweet good power pop, always liked the Sail On Sailor rendition. The Pezband's 2nd LP good bouncy pop. Richard Heyman, saw him some years back. Good that you found the Shoes & Flamin Groovies LP's. Some very good jangle & power pop showings. Well done video. Take care, stay warm. Tina & Pat!~

Love these videos, Hanna. You show the classics and the lesser knowns. That power pop book will serve as a great reference guide for you. I have that Twilley album, but really want to find the first two Dwight Twilley Band LPs. Only Life by The Feelies is great, and doesn’t get as much attention as Crazy Rhythms and The Good Earth. Appreciate the deep dives into Tommy Keene and The Windbreakers. Not familiar to me and it’s great to hear that Keene worked with Dixon and The Windbreakers with Easter. Two of NC’s finest sons. I hope you’re doing well. Always great to see you. Cheers! ✌🏻

Thanks for also turning me on Pezband, Hannah! . Funny, some of these midwest bands never got the exposure in my neck of the woods, Southern California. Good stuff. Well-crafted, melodic tunes are right in my wheelhouse.

It's so great to see you Hanna! I always love the music you play on your videos and yet I don't know most of the artists you spotlight in this video. The music is so fresh and would definitely be uplifting in these crazy times. The Replacements are great of course. It's so cool that Lindsey sent you so much music. She has a beautiful voice. Nice gifts from David. I loved the Sunnyboys needle drop. You have picked up alot of great stuff. Don't be a stranger. Take care.

I really admire your knowledge of the power pop and jangle pop genres. You showed some obscure stuff like Crippled Pilgrims who I had not heard of before. Tommy Keene was a great artist and it's a shame he passed. I LOVE your The Damned shirt! That was nice of Nazz to send that along with The Three O'Clock LP. Love their song "Susie's On The Ball Now" which I think I told you before. I have a Damned shirt that has a skull on the front. People stare at it when I wear it. lol Flat Duo Jets was a great band - I saw them play in Memphis in the '90s. Their self titled album is stellar. Liked The Red Button needle drop. Take care. ~ Nicola

The R.E.M.-Document album behind Hanna. One of the best records of this great band of the I.R.S. (1982-1987). Great video!

I'm really enjoying all or your videos. I'm not a collector but you have opened my eyes to so many bands I missed/ignored, for whatever reason, back in the day. The Windbreakers! My gosh how did I miss out on them?

No two ways about it, you’re the best on KZfaq. Always enjoy your presentation and extensive knowledge on great music. Looking forward to checking out some of this stuff that I’m not familiar with. Take care, Frank & Angie Pittsburgh

Hi Hanna. Thanks for mentioning The Gold Needles. Hope you like the albums. Coincidentally we were listening to Girlfriend (Legacy Edition) yesterday and our ears pricked up when you talked about The Icicle Works/Ian McNabb who Mark, from the band, is a massive fan of. He even had Ian come round to his house once to do a private gig surreally singing Sweet Caroline to his mum!

Great update Hanna. Once again you showed many artists/records I know and love especially TFC, Feelies, Miracle Legion, Shoes, Tommy Keene and DM3 and others I need to check out like Gold Needles. Speaking of Dom Mariani his solo record Homespun Blues and Greens is stellar and of course Someloves and Stems output essential. I have that excellent power pop issue of Magnet and both editions of Shake Some Action book invaluable resource and fun reads. Matthew Sweet ‘Catspaw’ along with Kiwi Jr ‘Cooler Returns’ are my faves of 2021 so far. Take care. / Matt

What a great video. You are always a wealth of knowledge and provide lots of great content. Thank you for the book recommendation. Just ordered it, it sounds like a wonderful resource for pop fans. Happy to see the Icicle Works mentioned. A favorite of mine from the 80’s. I have a list of lots of new to me artist that I need to check out now. Take care and happy spinning.

Great video Hannah. Your mentioning of Dwight Twilley was a reminder that I needed to replace my Phil Seymour 1 album that I purged at the dawn of the cd era. I ordered it on cd just now instead of vinyl...11 bonus tracks. I'm halfway through your video but got to head to work. I'll catch the rest later. ✌and happiness.

Although I'm kinda new to the power pop world, I do have some recommendations to pass along. First up, we have The Beths. Amazing group from New Zealand. They released an incredible sophomore album just last year. I've been spinning the heck out of it lately. It's certainly no slump, that's for sure! Give them a listen, I reckon you'd really dig their sound :) Next two lean more on the jangle pop side. They are Beach Fossils and Real Estate. Kinda late to the party with these guys. I'm not sure how I managed to overlook their material for so long. They've been around for over a decade now! Still, better late than never, right? Real Estate also dropped a fine album last year. So far, I'm very impressed with what 2020 had to offer us! Well, for music anyway... the rest be damned!!

First video of yours that I've watched in a while. Thanks for reminding me to listen to The Replacements and Matthew Sweet! Checked out Pezband too, great stuff!

Learned a lot. Many albums are new to me. It's always great to learn about great music. So nice to see you on a video.

YES!!!!!! I was going to suggest Richard X. Heyman's stuff but you beat me to it again! I know both he and his wife and they're both wonderful, brilliantly talented people. GREAT CALL! Also, check out The Merrymakers, David Myhr and The Wannadies sometime. And of course The Candybutchers and Mike Viola. The Nines.......

Hey Hanna, great video! It's weird, but I like the earlier Teenage Fanclub albums much more than their post 2000 output, but Planets from Songs From Northern Britain is my absolute favorite by them. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me realize how long it's been since I have really delved into my collection. You are an inspiration. Take care...

That Feelies album is great. Bought it when it came out, then sold it when I needed some cash. Been looking for it for a few years now. Nice trade!

Hi Hanna, it's always nice when your face pops up in my list of latest videos, and especially when you're talking about power pop. I'll be back later when I've got the time to watch.

The Icicle Works? Seriously? I remember seeing them opening for David Gilmour at the Montreal Forum in 1984-I remember A Whisper to a Scream-they did it twice that night. You really know your stuff! Boy do you have a major collection!

Hey Hanna, fantastic to see you back :) Man, when it comes to shoegaze and powerpop you really dive in deep!! That John Borack book looks to be an incredible resource; love the addendum highlighting the differences between the rankings in the 2 books. I'm with you on Thirteen, definitely underrated. Amen on Rick Menck's drumming!! That sounds very interesting on Catspaw with NY's guitar sounds featuring strongly. Definitely can hear bit of Replacements and even Husker in the Crippled Pilgrims. Aah yes, DM3, hard to do a lot wrong with Mr Mariani. And great stuff seeing Sunnyboys, great seeing an original 80s Mushroom label over there in your hands! (I remember buying some of my very first 7"s with that label on it as a pre-teen in the late 80s). Mitch Easter productions are gonna be good (and the clip backs that up) - might need to check that Windbreakers! Thanks for this one Hanna, good to hear from you. Cheers- Dean

Great acquisitions Hanna. I'll definitely check out that new Matthew Sweet album. I love that 2nd Pezband album too. Lots of cool stuff here! Cheers Matt

Hi Hanna - Nice new & reissued Matthew Sweet. Gotta hear those bonus tracks. Love the bulking up on Dwight Twilley. An influential man. Richard Barone was a flop but is decent & not common to see. I like The Icicle Works with Out Of Season & Evangeline beeing my favorite tracks. The two mad geniuses Robyn & Andy had to collaborate at some point. Predictable chaos ! If its not the covid its the cold keeping us in. Freezing in Santa Fe. Glad you are well & shaking some action. See Ya 👌

Yes! Tommy Keene was a straight-up power pop genius. He could be a transcendent live performer, and was not afraid to shred. His live guitar playing really caught me by surprise. See if you can find his 1984 Dolphin Records release. Also, Understanding Jane is a gem, and Miracle Legion's The Backyard and Snacks and Candy were modest regional "hits" on Boston commercial and college radio for and the albums they come from are also worth hearing. I'm glad I discovered your work. Thanks!

Thanks for reminding me how good Matthew Sweet is. Picked up the Catspaw record shortly after you posted this video. It is excellent. And I also picked up Altered Beast. That album got a lot of plays on cassette back in the day. I think it holds up real well. But soon after 100% Fun, any new Matthew Sweet lp fell off my radar somehow--seems criminal now. I bet I missed some good releases in the last 20+ years.

It’s great to see another video, especially concerning power/jangle pop. I am going to have to look into getting that book. You have been my number one source, but I’m sure the book will have some interesting suggestions. I just picked some Dwight Twilley albums as well. Girlfriend might be my favorite Matthew Sweet album, but I don’t have his new one. Your description of it intrigued me. I see that my favorite Replacements and R.E.M. albums are on display behind you. I have not listened to that Icicle Works album in years. I will need to pull it out. By the way, I told you I would give you my impression of the Lee Hazelwood/Ann Margret reissue. I finally got around to listening to it and while it does not work as well as the Sinatra/Hazelwood recordings it was an enjoyable listen. There is not as much of a psych vibe. There are a few songs that don’t work but I enjoyed it. Loved your update. -Randy

Found a lot of great artists to check out on here, thank you for the leads. A great forgotten power pop album is Erik Voeks Sandbox from 1993. I never see it mentioned anywhere. The song Hannah is on youtube, it'll give you a good idea what the album is like. My Dentist is my favorite song, it's a little eccentric. The album was released by Rockville.

Hi Hannah, how are you? The Icicle Works came on the coat tails of The Teardrop Explodes and Echo & The Bunnymen from that late 70s, early 80s Liverpool scene ; they were good in their own right, but the Teardrop and the Bunnymen were hard acts to follow. 'Love Is A Wonderful Colour' was their biggest hit over here in the UK. 'Who Do You Want For Your Love?' I always liked of The Icicle Works, too. Sunny Boys 'Gone'. Nice. Look after yourself !!!!

A absolute must have- The Watermelon men-Past,Present and Future LP. Kinda hard to find but trust me you will love it!

Some of the records you show I have just picked up too. Love your taste and insight. Great channel. TY!!

Appreciate the Dwight Twilley love...great video!

Woo hoo, a power pop video! My favorite! I'd heard Sweet's new one had come out and you describing it with a heavy dose of Neil Young style guitar makes me want to get it right now. I gotta check out Dwight Twilley too. Always glad to see you Hanna!

Kudos on your Tommy Keene commentary - I saw him many times in DC in the 80's and met him then as well when he first signed with Geffen. RIP to one of the best!

Wow, what a start. Teenage Fanclub, and their best album!!! I got the album as a birthday present from my friend. I saw them on my birthday in Belgrade back in 2010, excellent show. In my opinion Start Again is one of the best opening tracks ever. Cheers!!! Ilija.

Something tells me your channel will end up doing some serious damage to my wallet 😅 but there's no hard feelings 😉 Good to see Shoes get some love; I don't hear them mentioned as often as I would like! Got plenty of new stuff to explore here, so thrilling! Thanks a lot ♡

So many Great choices here! Love all the Twilley records, and agree with you about “Scuba Divers”. First EMI release.. love “Touchin The Wind” and “ Later That Night” really all of dude one.EMI /Twilley struck gold with the next record “Jungle” and the hit single”Girls”., also really good but I may like Scuba Divers a bit better. “ The Cabbage” from Teenage Fanclub’s”13” has long my favorite song ever.. hooks,harmonies,to the point lyrical sentiment ..perfect. I like Bobby Sutliff “ Only Ghosts Remain” a lot as well. Great songs , the Mitch Easter stamp, as his great cover of Richard Thompson’s “Small Town Romance “.

Hey Hanna, love Mathew Sweet great musician. You scored a lot of good albums. Hope your doing well and staying safe, Cheers Sean

Wow, these selections are right on the money. Songs from Northern Britain is, right now, my favorite Teenage Fanclub LP, and that debut from Icicle Works has been with me since it first came out, brilliant songwriting from Ian McNabb, and the drumming is amazing! Small price of a bicycle is also very good, still not as good as the debut, tho. I don't think I've heard you mention one of my favorite power pop bands of the late 80's/early 90's, Wonderstuff. If you haven't heard them I would suggest their first 3. The debut (The Eight Legged Groove Machine--great title, eh?) is the most power pop and is extremely infectious. And lastly, you know how I feel about the Jazz Butcher. Quirky and impossibly catchy. Take care!

Hey H, whole lotta goodness here, I will check our mat sweets + shoes(not🥾🤪)one this days as u talked about them a lot, so glad to see u got a sunny boys mushroom label in u collection- yeah its not as good as debut(need friend super track.....the film clips is cool that goes with it), their 3rd album have some fun is better IMO, check out the song the seeker is great one only on live album then on remastered debut EP, cool people from real band are sending u stuff for u to sample.....obviously value u opinion.......like the rest of us, be well👌⭐️

Hi Hannah good to see you back, I may have to watch this video in two or three different segments. Thanks for sharing it with us

Dwight Twilley, Scuba Drivers, is a superb album, really glad you mentioned it.

Fascinating update!

Hi Hanna I think you are now the Professor of Power Pop. So much knowledge and so enthusiastic for the music. You have sold me on the new Matthew Sweet, will get it. The Fannies new stuff is also really good. Glad you got the 2nd Pezband LP one my favourite power pop records. I saw them live, brilliant. I will give a shout out for The Len Price 3, i think they are now in the Borack book. If you like the early Who you can't go wrong. Also the Hanging Stars from London. Very good live band and have made 3 LP's. I am really missing live music particularly as i am involved in running two clubs. But your video's certainly plug some of the gap. Looking forward to part 2. Gary (from Lockdown London)

Hi Hanna! Thanks for another great Power Pop/Jangle Pop presentation. Have you heard Dwight Twilley's album The Beatles? All Beatles covers-quite excellent. Take care.

Amazing collection. Being from Australia it was great to see The Sunmyboys mentioned. They only had moderate success in the 80s. Another great power pop band from where I live in Melbourne is Icecream Hands. Criminally underrated. They’ve had no success at all and I’ll never understand why. Actually just released a comeback album late last year. Check them out if you haven’t already.

great to see new records,thank you

you keep giving me stuff to check out! +more into post-punk new wave stuff - have you listened to family fodder? they did a release of the best of on vinyl recently - pretty good odd stuff

Some superb powerpop cds that are a must. Wanderlust - Prize , Convoy - Black Licorice , The Mayflies usa - Summertown , Tsar - s/t and Nick Heyward - Tangled. All the best.

That book looks really cool and a great way for delving a bit deeper into the genre. It's always good to have a guide. Teenage Fan Club is yet another band I have never explored. I should probably try out one of their albums. Thirteen is a cover I recognize quite well from my days of working in a record stores. Dwight Twilley seems like a great underground find. Glad to see you're picking up the Intervention releases of Matthew Sweet. They've all been outstanding. I have a couple of them and I am hoping he will do Blue Sky On Mars. Girlfriend will always be my favorite though as it was my introduction to him. Love Tractor sounds interesting. I could definitely go for the instrumental sound. I am curious, what did you think of the Replacements reissue? Love the cover to that Icicle Works. The Jazz Butcher sounds like an album that would be right up my alley. That copy of the Shoes album looks nice. I remembered your other one being a bit beat. In those cases, with the albums you love, it always good to get a nice clean copy. So many artists in this one that I am unfamiliar with. Thanks for supplying the needle drops when you could and I dug the Sunnyboys one.

Cool collection. I had to click this because I have that issue of Magnet🎸☮

The first Shake Some Action book came with a compilation CD of some of the artists mentioned!

Ah, this was just what I needed to brighten up my week :) Thank you, Hanna! Power pop really lifts the spirits, doesn't it? Got a slight confession to make... I only hopped on the power pop train in the last year or two, so I'm still fairly new to the genre. My collection is in dire need of some albums! That book by John Borack sounds like the perfect guide to get the ball rolling. I hope there are some copies still available! Oh, and if it hasn't already been said, that book is THICK. I'm not completely out of the loop when it comes to power pop. Some of my favourites you mentioned are The dB's, Matthew Sweet, Flamin' Groovies, The Cars, Sunnyboys, and The Posies. Basically, all the essentials. I'm such a normie! Who would you suggest as a top priority for sampling next? Last of all, amazing video yet again! I could easily have watched another 20 minutes of rambling :P At this stage though, I feel like I've spent more time learning about power pop than actually listening to it! Either way, it's a fun genre to consume! I really look forward to seeing part two :) Keep up the great work, my friend!

Just watched a couple of your power pop videos..I'm sure someones already told you but on one of your vids you said that the Plimsouls had 2 records but there is the first EP called Zero Hour.Earlier versions of Zero Hour and Now..Most die hard Powerpop kids like this EP the best..Great videos.Thanks

I got to see Matthew Sweet at a very small bar here in Chattanooga a few years ago! And In Reverse is my favorite too 😁

Laughing In The Dark is THE quintessential Pezband album of them all and is easily, for me at least, in the top-10 best power pop albums of all time.

Hi Hanna. Always good to see a new video from you. How’s life? Are you well? Nice selection of things here. Great to see some Teenage Fanclub. An underrated group, I think. Take care. Stephen

Hanna, that new Matthew Sweet album "Catspaw" seems like I need to check it out. You made it sound really interesting. I agree, that is a great period for the Flamin' Groovies! Not familiar with the Windbreakers. Thanks, Chris

Great gets. Love seeing Pleased to Meet Me and Document sitting in the background too

Thanks for the shout-out!

Great video Hanna. Lots of new additions. Enjoy!

Thanks for the link to the shake some action book

I got to see Dwight Twilley in a record store about 5 years ago. Very intimate and acoustic. It was a good time. Great video!!!

Hi Hanna. Nice to see you again. You look wonderful as always. At first when you mentioned Neil Young's guitar sound is all over the Matthew album I did not think that you approved. I thought that you were curious as to why he is sounding so much like Neil. But then you explained that you dug it. My take on it would be 'why sound like Neil Young when you sound like Matthew Sweet'? Matthew created his own unique guitar sound going back to Girlfriend in 1991. I love the song 'Blown Away' on the new album. I think he is a big fan of Neil if I remember right. Good to hear that it is your number one so far this year. Didn't the Jazz Butcher write a song about a jungle? I remember something by them that had jungle in the title if I remember right. 'Away' is my all time favorite Feelies song. I love the slow progression build up in the intro. Love it. Love that band. Glenn Mercer is a brilliant songwriter. One of the best {I learned this from you} jangle bands of the eighties. I would have just said one of the best bands of the eighties. But since I learned all about jangle pop from you I will now use it to describe many more bands. {smile} Always a pleasure hanging with you Hanna. Stay warm. It is snowing once again here in Massachusetts at the moment. It is not going to stop until Saturday morning. I cannot wait for spring. I can taste it. Only 29 days away~ Rob/Boston

I was lucky to see Material Issue a few times. Power pop perfection.

Hi Hanna. Just discovered your channel and will check out some of your recommendations. Thanks. Just listened to Miracle Legion and thought it sounded great. Lately I've been hitting Spotify to check out the 100 best of 2020 list on absolutepowerpop.com. Hadn't heard of most of the bands, but almost everything he listed from last year sounds great. There are way more current powerpop bands than I realized.

Digging the power pop love, Dwight Tilley is really underrated. He ended up doing songs for soundtracks in the 80s, like Heavenly Bodies, Just One of the Guys, Up the Academy, Body Rock. Songs from the Film is an all time power pop album IMO The Feelies have quite a few songs on the soundtracks for Smithereens (co-starring Richard Hell) and Something Wild, I guess when I think of them I always think of Smithereens.

Not sure if you've mentioned them, but Cherry Twister put out two phenomenal CD's in the 90's. Their bass player went on to form The Parallax Project, also with two releases. I love Matthew Sweet, but his last few records didn't grab me like his stuff from about ten years ago. The songs have a sameness about them (but I agree with you, Hanna - "In Reverse" is his masterpiece). Canadian rockers Sloan continue to put out fun records. You might also like a band called Einstein's Sister. Good to see you back, Hanna! Love your reviews! Craig

Catching up on some of your older videos. Might I suggest a couple of power pop bands I don’t think you’ve discovered. The Cavedogs -Joy Rides for Shut-Ins and Dirty Looks from NYC not to be confused with the metal band from SanFran. I agree with you on Fontaines D.C., I had A Hero’s Death as my no 1 album from 2020. If you’re in the mood for more current post punk check out The Murder Capital and Shame. Shame just put out their 2nd album Drunk Tank Pink and I’m thinking best album of the year already. If you do happen to explore Turntable FM try the “ This is pop Yeah Yeah “ room lots of knowledgeable people playing great tunes or the Any/Alt wave room. Loving the content on your channel.

Hannah, Thanks for turning me on The Feelies. What a great album! Lead singer sounds a bit like Lou Reed.

Agree on In Reverse, along with 100% Fun my 2 faves of Matthew Sweet.

Thank you for the recommendations !

Nice long show this time!

I ought to listen to some Matthew Sweet. I honestly couldn't name any of his songs , which is a bit embarrassing. I'll look up some songs today!

Not much in the way of what i know of, but you do show interesting stuff. Take care, Hanna. Pasi

Hey Hanna! First, thanks for doing these videos! I'm a big Matthew Sweet fan too so I'll definitely check out that new Catspaw. I'm tempted to get that Altered Beast reissue from Intervention Records as it's my favorite Sweet album, but I'm disappointed with the Intervention vinyl reissue of 100% Fun. I'd like your opinion on that. I was excited to pick that up because of course it's a fantastic album, and Intervention seems serious about sound, but I compared that reissue with the CD and I can't say it sounds better. The vinyl sounds muddy to me. Maybe it's not worse than the CD, which is (typical for CDs) tinny on the high end, but overall I'm not sure it was worth the money for someone like me that already has the CD. What do you think about the sound quality of your Altered Beast vs. the CD? Please keep up the great work!

Great video -- Tommy Keene (RIP) rules!

Another top band that genre was The Smiths. Worth checking out if you haven't, but you probably have.

Thanks for the power pop primer...a genre I don' know much about . So far really liking Tommy Keene, Love Tractor and Richard X. Heyman. Question...are The Go Betweens considered power pop?

Again, not a power pop band but definitely a great rock band that is chalk full of 12 String Guitar is the band Love. Especially the pre-Forever Changes albums. It’s like jangle punk, that only gets better with more volume

Great video! love Matthew Sweet and The Shoes. Have them on vinyl, They got their name from the Beatles, who when asked why they chose their name, they said they could have been called Shoes. Fountains of Wayne are the last great power pop band, So sad when brilliant songwriter Adam Schlesinger passed away. Hoodoo Gurus another superb power pop/rock from Australia.

the second Flamin' Groovies line up that did Shake Some Action, Now & Jumpin' in the Night were good, but the Lineup With Roy Loney, Cyril Jordon, George Alexander, Tim Lynch & Danny Mihm are in my opinion much better. I saw the first lineup at the Music Box in Omaha in October 1969 days after dropping out of college. Sneakers (10" self released on their Snazz label) and Supersnazz (Epic) were purchased along with a ticket to the show about a week before I saw them in a record store down in the Old Market. I don't remember the name of the record store but you had to go down 4 or five steps to get in. Flamingo & Teenage Head are also from this lineup. Last time I saw them was January 2020 yet again a different lineup. Cyril Jordan is the only member in every lineup.

Happy New Year all you power-poppers! Hope you enjoy my recent single "Setbacks" on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/77mp44IUOXmqfUYv3VEK4E?si=8c979637b6c04937

Hannah love you albums we almost like the same type of music I remember going to a store in New Brunswick New Jersey called Cheap Thrills that all kinds of Records they are

Since you are a fan of Teenage Fanclub, I would suggest you check out Telstar Ponies featuring Brendan O'Hare, if you don't already have, they may be a little noisier than your tastes, but they are definitely great. Strange that nothing has been released in the last 20 years. Now I'm looking for Sunnyboys in my collection, thank you for bringing to mind our favorite music of our youth!

I have to hear more Dwight Twilley, hear more beyond "I'm on Fire." I think the only album I bought that came with a 7-inch record was The Car Over the Lake Album by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils (there's a band you may wanna give a listen to if you haven't yet). I bought the album because I liked its cover but it has some good songs like "Leatherwood" and "If I Only Knew." Hope all is well. 🙂

Check out The Reducers from New Haven too.

Your FANS miss you. Were have you been. Waiting for a Brilliant Video from you....

Hanna great video. The Ropers album All The Time it is on Slumberland records great power pop Shoegaze. You may like The Clean also Merge just reissue there stuff. Thanks for showing Windbreakers never heard of them I checked them out they are really good, thank you for the video.

another great video Hanna...

I found a good book at Barnes & Noble a few months ago. "Go All The Way - A Literary Appreciation of Power Pop".

If you have heard it the Richard X Heyman song "Kenyon Walls" off Actual Sighs is amazing.

My latest power pop purchase.BOB-You can stop that for a start.Great record.

Thought I had Twilley's Girls on 45. Darn. Great cover with the blurred passerby in the foreground. A Lennon Rock and Roll reference? The Catspaw recommendation. Much Thanks.

Just found your channel. The books sound informative. Love power pop. Do you like Jellyfish. Spilt Milk is one of my favourite albums ever :-)

I would put Icicle Works in New Wave, in the same camp as Echo & the Bunnymen and Modern English.

Dwight twilley,great,also early humble pie before they became popular,also the undertones.Dwight twilley had always great reviews but really never got attention they deserved,i think no one knew what to put them,rock,pop,punk ,new wave and they just disappeared,sad actually,and Emitt rhodes another lost treasure.nice video thanks so much nice to hear you again- stay safe
