The Origins Of Power Pop by Ric Menck

Rob Sheeley, May 9, 2020

What is power pop? You’ll be forgiven for not coming up with an easy answer. Lately I’ve seen everyone from Green Day to the Backstreet Boys referred to as power pop, which signifies the definition has obviously changed and expanded over the years, but what is it really? Pete Townshend appears to be the first… More »

Tony Glover’s Record Collection - Week Two - Video Two

In all of the years I have been putting together Friday Night Videos, I have pretty much done it the same way. We find a bunch of super cool records and then put them all together and hopefully amaze and daze you enough to make you want to leave your comfy home and venture out to the store. Simple concept and simple enough that even a record guy like me could do it without screwing up too much.

But this collection is different, as this was one of my musical heroes, and heroes deserve a lot of respect. Digging through Tony "Little Sun" Glover’s vinyl collection has been more about understanding just how deep and wide this music mans roots really were. So once again this week I’m not here to amaze and daze you but instead give you an idea of who & what he was listening to, and then how that might of impacted his own musical journey.

So tonight's video has a lot of yin and yang and everything in-between. No special order or appearance but just picks from me that I felt needed to be shown. Hope you like them as much as I did putting them together for the video.

Thursday Night Video’s - 45’s and even more 45’s

For the last couple of months we’ve seen this crazy infatuation with 45’s. From the weekly Thursday Night Videos that has seen many a cool 45 disappear by Friday noon, to the $5.00 grab bags that gives you 25 singles to dig through. Kinda like vinyl treasure hunting though the mysterious bags that Brian Oake personally puts together. And in spite of some grumbling about “We Are The World” single that was found in one bag, most of you vinyl heads have liked it enough to buy another one. 45’s are becoming way cool again and our sales have been going through the roof.

So for tonight's video we had both Brian Oake & Ric Menck digging through the 45’s to come up with another 45 lollapalooza that just might be nasty enough to be banned in 56 countries.
We ended up making two videos and the flipping difficulties you will see are all mine. All of those new plastic sleeves makes for some very slippery flipping.
