It looks like the European release is doing well. At least Scandinavian MTV
has the first single/video on heavy rotation, which, I think it really cool,
as well-crafted (power?) pop seems to be, as everyone here knows a really
difficult genre in the big league music biz. And I can't see a lot of things
like Brendan Benson on MTV here in Finland. So things are looking good for
him, at least before the curse of power pop hits him and things will go all
Badfinger on him...Hope not!!
