For Harry Nilsson Fans

Have you heard about the new Harry Nilsson film? I hear it's a must see. Check out this little piece about it....

Brian Eno is back!!

Okay, he's not exactly power pop, but he has had such an influence on so many great bands in the 70's, 80's, 90's, right up to today. Well, here's the news....
Brian Eno is returning after many years spent as mostly a producer with "Small Craft on a Milk Sea", and the first single from said album has just hit the net. Small Craft on a Milk Sea is due out on Nov. 2.

Check out a sound sample HERE.

Our Little Secret....but not for long.

Out of nowhere comes Edward OConnell with one the the best albums of the year, Our Little Secret. Equal parts Elvis Costello and Tom Petty, OConnell has managed to meld the two influences into his very own sound, not too derivative of either. Acres of Diamonds starts the disc off to a rip roaring start but the coup de grace is the fourth cut on the album, Happy Black. My sole criticism of the disc is that its all at roughly the same tempo throughout, but I'm willing to deal with that one shortcoming in exchange for this collection of brilliant pop tunes crafted like they used to back in the day when guitars jangled and we still wanted that irresistible pop hook. Rates as...BUY IT...NOW!

The Real Elvis

Check out this sound clip....it's Elvis Presley getting down and dirty. I have no idea where or when the show was. Someone went me this soundclip and there is no doubt that it's the king. In all his glory. Check it out here.

News of a Graham Parker film bio

One of my favorite songwriters and performers of all time, Graham Parker, is the subject of a much awaited film bio. The filmmaker needs a bit more cash to bring this to fruition so they're actively fundraising. More info to come.
