SPEEDIES!?!?!? Holy Cow! I am _soooo_ happy I got a booster pack the other day. I was almost resigned to getting this from iTunes, but now I got if from eMusic. Most fabulous power pop.

I must be overlooking it, but on none of these Emusic lists for the year do I see Nudge It Up A Notch by Steve Cropper and Felix Cavaliere. Explain to me how this cannot one of the best.

The Speedies are another late 70′s New Wave/powerpop band new on eMusic today. All of the Hanoi Rocks albums have been added too (very influential early Scandinavian metal band), as well as Wire’s most recent CD, Object 47.

And for those New Wavers among the crowd, I note an Elton Motello album has arrived on eMusic. It’s a power pop album that I think is a collection of singles and EPs from the late 1970s. It’s nothing major, but just another fun bunch of tunes to sing along with.

“Saddle Creek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

Sub Pop here we come???”

Wait, is there a Saddle Creek/Sub Pop connection? I’m not interested in the Saddle Creek titles, but please no teasing about the possibility of Sub Pop appearing here (I assume it isn’t in the cards, BTW).

So happy to see this. I discovered Bright Eyes on an Austin Music Festival collection. After that did a rabid friend search to see who had some. Now I will have my own. Wee!

My “indie friend” freshman year introduced me to (early) His Name is Alive, which I guess shows my age. (As does the fact that no one really said indie; we said alternative).

Now His Name is Alive have become a great free jazz tribute band and introduced me to Marion Brown. Yancey I hope you have as good luck with the Bob Dylan of your generation as I have with the … uh … Warren Defever of mine.
