Forthcoming apology to be issued from the Department of Redundancy Department for any overlaps. You bastards vacuumed up Squeeze, Elvis C. and the Mats pretty well.
Another fantastic list. Especially like the New Pornographers tune and a nice shout out to the Old 97s, a band I continue to be more and more impressed by.
Great lists! Matt, since we love the 'Mats so mcuh, we'll let you use Hold My Life twice. Eric, you must educate us (me, anyway) on Sloan and the Len Price 3. We need to combine these lists for an official Bastardo Approved Road Trip Mix.
Excellent lists, for sure! I would love to hear that Split Enz track, I don't know it. Haven't heard them in eons. Eric, I commend your inclusion of the Kids in the Hall theme, nice! Lots of unfamiliar territory you've covered, feel free to share generously.
can anyone provide me with definition of "power pop". our lists are kinda all over the place. when i think power pop i think knack, elvis costello, replacements, and subteens. how does a bastard define this genre?

ReplyDeleteMike, I'll take care of your Split Enz ignorance later today or tomorrow. Face The Polyphonic glory that comes from native sons of New Zealand!
