Mariani's apparently been doing stuff like the above since the '80s, but I must confess to having been unaware of him until this past weekend, when friend of PowerPop Mark Rosenblatt played the song (after two by the Floor Models -- thanks Mark!) on his radio program, which airs (and streams) every Saturday morning (betwee 10am and Noon) on WPKN-FM 89.5, from Bridgeport Connecticut. You can find out more over at the station's website HERE, and come to think of it they have a very good archive, so you can listen to the most recent show in its entirety.
In any case, that song just slays me, so I'm going to be doing the research on this Mariani guy. I'll keep you posted on what I unearth.

Dom Mariani has been part of several very good bands: The Stems, The Someloves, and DM3. Here’s another fine song of his from DM3. https://youtu.be/3s-FKisf7Js

The name ran a bell, but I can't recall actually having heard a song by him until this one. Hey -- I plead asshole. 😎
Someloves' "Melt" is one of my fave songs of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIU7yifT8Hc
To add too the 'PKN nod, before Sirious we in Southern CT. tuned to 89.5
The New Yorker magazine dubbed them "the best radio station in the world".
Back in the day if you wanted to listen to Cream, Hendrix, Zappa they were your go to.
Let me please add one more thing -
I watched the clip - enjoyed the song and
actually forwarded it.
I'm a nut with Slide and this song has it...

The Aussie's have a knack for Power Pop.
Checkout his work with DM3. This song is a killer: https://youtu.be/waKbbgjN1HM?si=AytezV3t8mEpOwyw
