Power Pop Is Camp
“People ought to stop saying, ‘Rock is dead.’ It gets old.” -Matthew Sweet I. What it is What is power pop? It is a question many have asked and few have satisfyingly answered. To many, power pop is any modern idealization of mid-‘60s British pop, a sticky and sickly sweet Neapolitan of “chiming guitars,” “heavy drums” and “aching vocal harmonies.” The Raspberries, Big Star, Badfinger, Todd Rundgren — these are just a few of power pop’s pioneering practitioners.
The Good Years, by Death Party Playground
1. Some happy years, We carry with us, And shed our fear of, A change within us, The ties that bind, they come undone, So shines the light of a new sun, You are beholden to no one, So long since then, It feels like forever, But I never left you, Not now, not ever, There were some good times, When things were better, I won't forget it, I won't forget it, One of the good ones, One of the best, I won't forget it, I won't forget it. 2.

Natural Beauty Unhinged, by Mo Troper
Natural Beauty took me fucking forever to track. I got an insane discount at the studio where I recorded it, which was awesome, but the catch was that I had to record there on the off-hours, which were usually 8pm to midnight. For pretty much all of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, I was going there once every other week or so to make this album.

Don't Wait For Me Beneath the Mistletoe, by The Allusionettes
LYRICS: The usual lights are on my tree The usual stars are in the sky You would usually be with me On a usual Christmas night But this year, that’s a hard no And we’ll both be alone Don’t wait for me beneath the mistletoe I’m gonna keep my distance Til there’s mass resistance It’s a solo Christmas this year I’ll stay in isolation Til the vaccination Makes it safe for you to be here Don’t want a gift from Santa’s sleigh Except for you to stay the fuck away Don’t wait for me beneath the...

Mo Troper Wants to Make Beautiful Art About Binge Eating
A song that requires explanation is a song poorly written. Maybe I just feel that way because my lyrics are so explicit, but I usually run to the bar the moment I hear an artist launch into a VH1 Storytellers-type monologue. (Not literally; I don’t drink.) Rarely, people ask me what my songs are about, but I never know what to say — it’s usually right there in the title. “I Eat” is no exception. My label and publicist encouraged me to talk about it anyway.
