We've started a new weekly feature over at Scholars & Rogues that might be of interest to some. We're calling it TunesDay, and each week we'll have some kind of hopefully significant music-related feature - maybe something longer, maybe a band of the week, maybe a review, whatever. Today's maiden voyage looks at bands that had major influence despite not being all that popular in their own right - we touch on VU and Big Star briefly, and the centerpiece is Joy Division and all the current bands that follow them (Killers, Interpol, etc.) Not strictly power pop, but maybe some here will like it anyway. http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2008/03/04/tunesday-obscurity-and-influence/ -- _______________________ *Sam Smith* * » Lullaby Pit * *: Editor* * » Scholars & Rogues * *: Editor* *voice:* *303.229.0619 /m* *skype**:** * docsammy22 *usps**:* 5132 Grey Wolf Pl.
