'The Message'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I'm not going to be quite as caustic as Steve Albini about it, but even with my limited musical knowledge, reading that list doesn't exactly improve my understanding of just what, exactly, power pop is.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I think it's whatever the interviewees want it to be.
And the dB's Black and White is a much better song, and more power pop, than Amplifier.
So says I.

Misha! Ha! That's the only thing I know about the dBs! That, and weren't they involved with Mitch Easter somehow? </used to live in Winston-Salem>

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sneakers - Mitch Easter + Peter Holsapple = dB's
(and Easter also did sound stuff for them after they'd become the dB's)
(most of which I get from Google and not some strange North Carolina osmosis thing)

Heh, look at amych with the musical know-how! Exactly right. They were all part of the North Carolina pop mafia, or what was called (in my just after college days) The Pop Triangle (Hoboken - NC - Athens, GA).

Okay, now that I have a new Powerbook, I went back to the stack of CDs that my old G4 had problems ripping.
What was the second track on the first CD? The Raspberries, "All the Way." I feel much better now.
