Hey guys:
I recently upgraded to the uber-iPod, the 60GB monster, and because of
this I've been feeding it my entire collection, one disc at a time
(and it should fit about 3/4 of it). This also means it's been
reminding me of how much I liked some CDs I haven't heard in awhile,
such as:
Martin Luther Lennon -- His two albums were fantastic. Does anyone
know what Tony's been up to these days?
Cooler -- This one was less popular, I think, but it sort of took
vintage Cars, Cheap Trick, and even Journey and updated them into a
modern power-pop platter. From Tennessee, I think. Any idea what
happened to them? I don't even think I've ever seen them mentioned
here but I got it from NL based on a recommendation and still love it.
Also, file under "how did I miss them until now":
The Argument --- Thank the Cars trib for this one, because I loved
their version of "Hello Again". Got their newest and am
astounded--this EASILY would've placed in my top 20 (if not top ten)
had I gotten it before the end of the year. GREAT uptempo power-pop
with a just-as-great power ballad right in the middle. Very yummy
stuff.
Spiraling -- Takes the more experimental sides of Starclock, Owsley,
or OkGo and ups them to the nth. Crisp, catchy, and adventurous--this
is generally what I like my power-pop to sound like. I CAN'T believe
this album is 3 years old and that I missed it until now because it's
squarely up my alley.
I'd highly recommend all these discs to everyone here. --J
