There really are no details to announce yet, but since I've been getting a few e-mails about it, I think it's a good time to tell you a bit about my vision for this project. Having been an Auditieer for several years, I've noticed how much crossover there is between the specialty markets of comics and power pop. When I mention comics on the Audities' list, there are many current and/or latent fans chiming in. It's the same when I start talking power pop with comic fans. So maybe it's just a Reese's style ploy, but I want to take two great things and make them greater together. The comic book tribute cd will feature some cool cover tunes. When you look at the power pop oriented bands that have comics-related songs--- including the Kinks, XTC, McCartney & Wings, etc--- it just hit me that a good way to take indie power pop to the comics market is by way of a "tribute" cd featuring some of the great talent we talk about here on the list everyday. But I'd love to creatively take it a leap further. I'm hoping to have some original songs on the cd from some comics-loving power pop acts. Doesn't matter really if that means the song is about a character or about being a comics fanatic---it just has to hit home about comics and those of us who are into them. I'm not sure how Bruce and I are going to handle which pop performers get on the cd and which ones don't---that's new territory for me. What I hope happens is that we get so many great songs to use (both covers and originals) that we have to make tough choices to make it a totally outstanding project. If you want to send me samples of your songs, I'm up for that. But please do it understanding there are no promises other than trying to make this something very special that will bring new ears to your music and new eyes to comics.
