Once again, power pop artists have gotten some commercial exposure. This ELO inspired gem is the work of Tim Myer. And just like my previous post with Alan Clapp of The Orange Peels, Tim also has a pop gem for Target stores. Visit his site or MySpace page to hear the whole song. Once again, proof that the quickest way to an indie hit is a Madison Avenue soundtrack.

Here is the first single from Weezer’s new album – and it’s a fun vid for anyone who remembers all these favorite viral internet celebs who got 15 minutes (or seconds) of fame. A bonus “no-prize” if you can name all these characters.

Hilarious comment on the Paul McCartney divorce settlement. So Heather gets a judgement of $33 million. The divorce judgement which was highly critical of her as witness, calling her claims to Paul’s money as “exorbitant.” The court publication of the settlement seems to verify Beatle fans’ claims that she’s a “Goldigger.” On the other hand, with over $500 million in net worth he’s not exactly playing “Blackbird” in the Subway.

Since we’re on a 80’s synth-pop theme (see last review) here is a video from both Jason Falkner and Roger Manning Jr.’s last project, TV Eyes – a shiny synth-pop extravaganza. But really this is to let you know that Manning’s newsest CD is almost ready, it’s called “Catnip Dynamite” and is due out in Japan by 3/19. So when is it coming to the USA? I’m sure hopefully it won’t take too long. Visit his my space page to sample a song or two. It sounds like the synth influences are more prominent here.
