More Matthew Sweet

Here’s another great power pop song from Matthew Sweet. Check out my prior post.

Thought I Knew You

Highly recommended.

Face Up to the Sounds of Sloan

Here’s another of my favorite songs from the Canadian power pop band, Sloan. Check out this past post of songs of the band if you’re interested in more.

Can’t Face Up

Highly recommended.

The Nines Far Away

The Nines are one of my favorite Canadian power pop bands. Enjoy this song and check out my earlier posts of the band.

Highly recommended.

Even

This is my second post of the Australian band Even. Check out my first post. If it seems like I’ve been posting some bands again recently, it’s because I have. What can I say? I’m inspired by random play.

Shining Star

I Am the Light

Highly recommended.

The Super Friendz

‘The Super Friendz’ were a Canadian power pop/indie rock band. This lyrically quirky song is my favorite from their first album ‘Sticktoitiveness’ originally released independently on cassette in 1994.

Undertow

Highly recommended.

Jackie DeShannon

Jackie wrote and performed this great song way back in 1964.

This next wonderful song is from 1969.

Highly recommended.

The Vandalias

The Vandalias were a Minneapolis power pop band. The last time I posted about them, I couldn’t find a link to share my very favorite song of theirs. On a whim, I just searched and found it. So, here it is…

Mighty Songs of Joy

Highly recommended. I’m just sharing the joy.

So Over It

She said it was just a part of her past
But now and then they were still in touch
He is an Ex that long ago moved out
And after, only a casual situationship, as such

She wants sometimes to hang out with him
Says he is now just “one of her friends”
Doesn’t mention anything to me, until I ask
Of how their day together actually ends

She admits that he got touchy and expected sex
But claims that nothing happened
I really don’t know what to think
But feel betrayed and saddened

What did she think was gonna happen
Alone together on her bed watching TV?
I ask her in bewildered disbelief
How do you think it looks to me?

Yes, what’s in the past is in the past
I’m not gonna be jealous of a memory
Anything that is still going on now, however
Is current events, not history

Three Hour Tour (third post)

This is my third post of one of my favorite little known power pop bands, Three Hour Tour. This song came up on my random play in my car the other day and after checking to see if I had posted it before, I had to share it with you.

Highly recommended. Give this one a listen and maybe check out my earler posts of this great band. In the meantime, I’m heading out for a drive to nowhere in my Challenger. I’m hoping to be there soon.

The Wait

I came across The Wait, an Albany power pop band, on BandCamp years back while recovering from surgery. The following link is one of my favorites from their 2012 release Start Over.

Highly recommended. Don’t wait to check out this band on BandCamp.
