So yesterday I was listening to an intertube radio station out of the U.K. called KOR, which is always pretty cool, but more specifically because I got word that they were gonna be playing a song by one of my gazillion old bands (in this case, Gerry Devine and the Hi-Beams).
Anyway, right before our song was scheduled, they played this track by a band previously unknown to me called The Speedways...
...and it blew my tiny mind. Let's just say that it's the kind of thing that's so damned good it makes me even angrier than usual about the crappy musical guests on Saturday Night Live.
In any event, those guys are on Facebook, and you can also find out more about them -- and more important, buy their music -- over HERE. And tell 'em PowerPop sent you.

Thanks for alerting us all to another really outstanding song. SNL? We’d all be more amused if they ditched that show and ran Marx Brothers movies instead.
footage from Gregory's Girl?
I don't know about you, but Mumford & Sons were really REALLY good this past weekend on SNL, and this from someone who had never before gotten M&S. Seeing them perform live (banjo be damned!) did it for me. Sure, they're earnest. Fleet Foxes is earnest, too, and like M&S, really good. But the two songs M&S did on SNL were over-the-top good.
Good song!
