Thanks for the interview. I used to read SW on The Riff all the time and have wondered where he went to. Now I know. Those Power Pop books are well worth reading and considering!!!
Great interview. I've been listening to the Whiffs 'Another Whiff' coincidentally quite a lot lately. Also kind of a brother band to them The Rubs are great. I will be checking out some of Lauden's books definitely they sound right up my alley, PI detective novels and such. One band not mentioned in power pop I feel gets overlooked is the New Pornographers first two albums, especially Mass Romantic. I have listened to that 500 times and I always get such a rush from that record. Thanks.
Such a great interview! I don't know if it was you Kevin who turned me on to S.W. and Remember the Lightning or if I found him/it through the music Sustack-osphere several months ago, but I've been a big fan ever since. And I have a couple of his books in my "to read" pile (which is sadly stacked almost to the moon now -- thanks partly to Substack!). I forwarded links to Forbidden Beat to a couple of punk rock drummer friends of mine recently too.
So needless to say, thanks! To both of you for such great contributions to the writing and music worlds!
This was great, the band history is seriously impressive!

Hey Terry! Hope you’re doing well.
I am! Looking forward to reading your newsletter and glad to find you again.
Hey! Thanks so much for letting me stop by. That was a fun conversation.
Anytime! That was definitely a blast!

Mass Romantic (and TNP in general) are fantastic! We have an essay about them in Go All The Way...written by a fantastic crime author.
