Hint: The artist in question is as close to being a powerpop god as anyone currently wearing shoeleather.

CORRECTION: A friend forwarded this post to the great Marshall Crenshaw himself.
His response:
"That ain't me.. I have no idea who it is, where it came from, nada..
Sometimes I pretend not to know what things are if they embarrass me but this really has nothing to do with me, honest..."
I regret the error.

I want to say Alex Chilton (based on the date), but I'm probably wrong.
Yes you are. But not a bad guess.
Sounds like T-Bone Burnett hiding his Texas accent, but don't think he qualifies as a power pop god.
No and no.

Early Marshall Crenshaw?? Sorry I peeked. And who was Ray and Bloom anyway?
Guys from Beatlemania when Marshall was in it..
Richard X.?
From the vibratos, these guys sound a bit older.
Love the Vibrators and Undertones. Have you guys heard of the Booze of The CRY! ? I found them yesterday and was heartened about leaving Powerpop to the young. Now I just need to find a way to get to Atlanta or Portland!
