PowerPop: An Early Clue to the New Direction

Thursday, July 03, 2008

From 1981, here's ~~worst rock band in history~~ New Wave flash in the pan Quaterflash with "Harden My Heart."

As is customary, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to Friday's Weekend Listomania.

Internal Organs?

Are there a lot of songs about intestines or livers or prostates?

If so, that might be a good category down the road...

Just couldn't crank up the patriotic enthusiasm this year. And besides, last year I posted Springsteen singing "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)".

Can't get much better than that....; 7/03/2008 9:15 PM

Okay, it's been slow around here tonight, so I'll give it to you.

Best sax on a post Elvis pop/rock record. Obviously, the posting of the worst sax ever was a feint...

In any case, enjoy your holiday No-Prize!!!!!; 7/03/2008 11:42 PM
