#NowSpinning Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend (1991)
Something is in the air & it feels like he's in the zeitgeist right now, so it felt right to spin his '90s #powerpop breakthrough. This 2014 Plain Records reissue isn't the best sounding press but it's the one I've got #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning The Cheepskates - Run Better Run (1984)
This one wasn't in the recently discovered box, but I've been meaning to play it for a while & vocalist Shane Flaubert just followed me, so that was a sign to give this #garagerock #powerpop gem a spin. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NewWaveNovember (1978-80)

06--The Records - Starry Eyes (1979)

This is very much to the right of the new wave/powerpop crossover I must admit, but it's a great tune and extremely under-appreciated in the band's native UK. Faithfully covered by TMBG in 2015.

Don't see why not. Notice now that 'powerpop' has been added. Don't remember that phrase being used at the time. Always saw them as part of the new wave sound, alongside some of the more 'fun' almost novelty songs (that we won't be mentioning yet).

Trk 301 of 365: here's a brand new one, from last weekend. A guitar-driven powerpop number with a slightly melancholy feel and solid melodies. Short n sweet... and it slaps. Energy hit for ya. Free streaming & download.

If I ever describe your music as “Beatlesque,” “Beach Boys-y,” “Byrdsian,” “Big Starry,” or “Nerves-y,” please know that it’s meant as a compliment, and that I believe you are part of something that’s much bigger and more important than any one of us. #musicsky #music #guitarpop #powerpop
