After what seems like an eternity, my first book, titled SHAKE SOME ACTION:
THE ULTIMATE POWER POP GUIDE, has just been released this week!
The 200-page book is built around my choices of the top 200 power pop
releases of all-time (including quotes from many of the artists covered), and also
includes a comprehensive essay on the history of power pop by esteemed pop
journalist/all-around good bloke Carl Cafarelli.
In addition, there are tons of previously unpublished/rare photographs by
Anastasia Pantsios and Peter Kuehl, as well as a companion CD packed with 24
power poppin' rarities from the likes of The Rubinoos, Tommy Keene, 20/20, The
Rooks, Chris von Sneidern and many others. Most all of these tunes are
exclusive to SSA!
Alongside coverage of power pop's history and its 200 greatest albums, SHAKE
SOME ACTION also looks at:
* Great power pop singles, individual songs, compilations and tributes
* Labels specializing in power pop
* Magazines, fanzines and websites covering the genre
* Top 10 lists, commentary, quotes and other goodies from artists and
journalists such as:
Joey Molland (Badfinger)
Dave Smalley (Raspberries)
Doug Fieger (The Knack)
