An (Exceptionally Loud But Mostly) Early Clue to the New Direction!
From 1996, please enjoy the incomparable Webb Wilder -- last of the full grown men and idol of idle youth -- and the astounding rave-up that is "Loud Music." Written (and featuring frighteningly hot guitar work) by former Joe Ely fret monster David Grissom.
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded the first reader who gleans its relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
