Just for fun I Google News'd "power pop".

The first music oriented story makes me wish I was hundreds of miles
south this weekend. I suspected John B's hand in this esp. when I saw
Warner Cable as a sponsor - the URL itself supplied the answer :)

PS: My pop was publicity director of the NC State Fair in Raleigh,
NC, from 1956-1968 and is where my earliest musical moments occurred,
continuing thru high school graduation. Thus a lifelong fondness for
music @ fairs. Not only concerts at Dorton Arena or the racetrack
stage (ala That Thing You Do), but also via the bluegrass stage just
outside my dad's office and regular teen shows held in the Buckminster
Fuller built geodesic dome that once stood past the Village Of Yesteryear.
