Comment:

Been a long time since I made a mix, and I just put this one together for a friend who wanted a quick intro to the wonderful world of power-pop. I got some essential artists in there (Big Star, Smithereens, The dB's, Jason Falkner, Material Issue, etc.), and I think it's pretty wide-ranging chronologically too (from Revolver to the last Fountains of Wayne). I'm happy with this tape... I hope my buddy will be too.
Power-pop: tastes good and is good for you.
