Hi! Hope all well there and you are enjoying your summer. I still owe you my best of 2016 list.

Knew about the upcoming Posies album and of course I am eager to hear it when released. Have already heard the one track that you had mentioned. Apologies re my best of list which I will send soon.

Check out the exciting news about the forthcoming LP, SOLID STATES, by longtime faveband, The Posies. My post includes "Squirrel vs Snake," the free downloadable song they've made available. http://powerpopulist.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-posies-announce-new-album-offer.html

Hey! Thanks for the birthday wishes! I just now saw your message. I figure I should probably try to grow up one of these days.

Hello!! Check out My Dark House and Movie Brain, if you haven't already :)

Thanks, I hadn't heard about that Sloan tribute! I'll have to check it out after the release. There is another tribute album (I think it's called Take It In) that came out a few years ago that I bought on iTunes. There are a few good covers on that one.

Thanks for the link to the Matthew Melton tracks! I think I actually prefer this solo stuff.

Thanks for recommendation re Goodman. Funny seeing you on Nusiki music site.

How do you like the new one from The Nines? http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/thenines6

I had not heard La Garconne, thank you so much! Have you heard this, my latest obsession: https://soundcloud.com/kranky/helen-violet

Come visit my blog, Powerpopulist. http://powerpopulist.blogspot.com

Hey have you heard The Turns from LA? https://youtu.be/CG3M_LfOwuo

Still gotta pick up that first High Learys album, but thanks for the tip. BTW, your blog headline startled me into thinking Explorers Club put out something new recently-oh well, they are still going in one form or another, hopefully will hear something eventually.

Thanks for the link-it's too much to digest for now...will explore later!

I noticed previously about Ice Cream Man's 108 powerpop compilation and had started to check it out. Thanks for letting me know anyway.

Kudos to Ice Cream Man Wayne Lundquist Ford for the excellent 108-song powerpop compilation posted today at Bandcamp. All songs are freely and legally downloadable. https://icecreammanrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ice-cream-man-power-pop-and-more-got-it-licked-various-artists

Thanks for the tip on the new Matt Rendon stuff. I hope he still continues The Resonars

Do you have a Powerpopulist facebook page? It'd be a convenient way to get updates on posts. Please friend me anyway.

Thanks, didn't know about these either!

Thanks, I wasn't aware there was a new Gliss album!

What about Deafcult? https://deafcultbrisbane.bandcamp.com/album/deafcult Are there any less than amazing bands from Australia right now? ha

listening now - it's great, thanks for the rec! Have you heard the new Venera 4 or Future?

Thanks for the request! I had to go on youtube and watch Feel again, still as awesome as when I first saw it.

Your songdrop shoegaze playlist was shared in a few shoegaze music groups on fb...flawless taste as usual! Cheers :)

Thank you very much. Yeah, the song really reminded me of Steeleye Span. Like it a lot! Cheers from Norway!

Not familiar with Kid Wave, but thanks for the recommendation. Sounds good so far!

Wasn't aware of that one. Reminds me of Beverly. Do you know them?

No I wasn't familiar with him at all. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hey, thanks! I found it on your blog. I'd mostly only heard Bare Wires and Warm Soda... I didn't realize he had solo stuff too! Listening now.

Oh cool, thanks so much! I appreciate that. I'll try not to let you down. ;)

you are correct, I think they sound great! have you heard Flyying Colours? sort of obsessed right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL962NVzOYQ

I have not, I will definitely check it out, thanks!

yes I have it is indeed great! have you heard The Enters? https://soundcloud.com/the-enters/sets/the-enters-small-town-love-ep

Let me know which bands you like that you have discovered on my best of list from 2013. I am sure there will be many!

I haven't had chance to check out the Ginnels yet but will this week. Many bands to recommend from this year's IPO Fest which was incredible as usual.

Thx for the link to the Ginnels-sound okay, but no song caught my ear. More excited to check your blog and hear a new James Broad song! I just ripped my Silver Sun cds two weeks ago!

Pleased to meet you!

Thanks for the tip on Tough Age-sort of calls to mind Guadalcanal Diary!

HAHA thats awesome! Do you have a Twitter account? Or are we already following each other - I don't recognize the pplist handle. You seem to have lots of good stuff on your blog gonna check it out :D
