Glad to finally get an interview with Michael Carpenter. This was a very candid profile of his work, including his recent success with The Cuban Heels. He also talks about his newest album Redemption#39 and how the Australian pop scene is different from this side of the globe. Click here to read the interview. (or check out the button on the right).

Andy Partridge Interview
“I’m merely a man and I bring nothing but love for you. I’m merely a man and I want nothing that you can’t do! And you know it’s true.”
Long have I searched for a way to get an interview with XTC frontman, Andy Partridge. Well I tried over and over, but I guess I don’t have the pull of Will Harris from Popdose. But this is essential reading for the power pop fan. Check out the Andy Partridge interview on Popdose.

The Webstirs interviewed by Powerpopaholic
It’s a two-fer! I also interviewed the duo of Preston Pisellini and Mark Winkler of The Webstirs. They are expected at 4/24 to play for International Pop Overthrow in Chicago. The release of “So Long” has made the top ten this year as well. These guy were candid and funny. To read the interview directly, click here.
