us think that supporting mediocre bands just because they've got the basic
moves down is one of the things that got "the power pop scene" in such bad
shape.>>
DING-DING-DING-DING! Give that man a prize. Stewart, you are 110% correct.
And by the way, it's all YOUR fault Myracle Brah hasn't hit it big...if you
would just support them a LITTLE bit, they would be bigger than the freaking
Beatles, by golly! C'mon...what kind of an Auditeer are you, anyway?
I'm kidding, of course.
Also, it personally doesn't matter one whit to me that the Rosenbergs
didn't/don't have the "classic '70s style power pop sound." They just didn't
kill me. Fountains of Wayne does. OK Go is cool, too. Oh, well...
