Without pointing you to Peter's Power Pop blog.
Just in the past week, Peter posted:
The great Beatles Xmas single that never was.
A Beatles cover (run through a Big Star filter).
A Christmas song done in the style of the Beatles.
An insanely genius Christmas song from the Wellingtons.
A seemingly timeless slice of power pop from a band called Thirsty Merc (and the one F-bomb makes me love the song even more).
And a couple of great songs from a band called Illicit Eve, which contains not one but two gorgeous blondes who look like every gorgeous blonde who ever tortured every hormonal teenage boy in high school:
(I'd be having nightmarish flashbacks about these two right now if the music weren't so good.)
I could babble more, but head over there and learn for yourself about Peter's Marshall Crenshaw fixation, his occasional series on "unexpected power poppers," and his devotion to the Beatles and the Wellingtons (even when it's not Christmas).
What more do you want? A freaking history of power pop in Australia? Well, he's got that too...
