The second part - and the second half of the book will have interviews with around 40 of the bands/artists featured in the book. These interviews will probe and explore a better understanding of their creative process and this particular project.
The third part is the music. The "Volume 9" book will come bunded with three CDs. Yes, 3 CDs. As in, 'three'.
I’ve contacted some of the best artists from 2010 and they have agreed to share their music with “Power Pop Prime-Volume 9” buyers! These 3 compilation CDs will highlight some of my favorite songs from these artists and contain close to 40 songs to add to your collection.
========================================
From the golden age of power pop comes the first and only essential resource for serious fans of the genre. The eight volumes in Power Pop Prime gather Bruce Brodeen's seminal snap-shot reviews that documented this era for fans of his label and online retailer, Not Lame Recordings. The Power Pop Prime series spans the entirety of Not Lame’s operation, from 1995 to 2010.
Each book in the series will be a very limited edition pressing. DO NOT WAIT to order because this volume will sell out (very) soon.
During this time, Not Lame released more than 100 CDs on its label (including such pop titans as The Posies, Jellyfish, Dwight Twilley, Tommy Keene, Parthenon Huxley, Blue Ash and The Shazam) and offered more than 15,000 titles from (mostly) independent bands and labels from all over the world from its mail-order web site.
Although a cult of sorts has formed around these brief and often off-the-wall reviews, they were originally intended simply as a buyer's guide, not a source of entertainment unto themselves. But entertaining they are. And opinionated. And sometimes inscrutable. And (almost) always right about the artistic merit of the music they critiqued.
Power Pop Prime is the ideal trail map for the power pop fan seeking to discover releases and artists they've somehow missed. It is the continuation of Not Lame's mission -- to guide you on your journey to find your ‘next favorite new band’.
And because it's always about the music, each book in the series comes with either a single CD and some of them with multiple CDs bundled with the book.
