These are my faves, just off the top of my head - Numbers 2 & 4 aren't powerpop...
but they are beautiful songs.

1. Wondermints - Another Way
2. Joe Pisapia - River Song
3. Arlo - Runaway
4. Peter Bruntnell - City Star (just picked up his latest 'Ends of the Earth'
album, has a 2002 date on it, but     isn't out back here in the UK for a month or
so yet.. I think? Pretty, mellow alt. country - can I still use that term? - lovely
songs, great feel, fantastic vocal phrasing - Shit I hope the new Jayhawks record
is this good!)
5. Superdrag - Feeling like I do

Honorable Mentions:
Phantom Planet - California
Del Amitri - Baby it's me
Peter Bruntnell - One Drink Away (can you tell that his new one is my latest
'obsessions'?)
Wondermints - Time has you
You Am I - Who put the devil in you?
Feeder - Come back around
