I heard a great song, “Popular” by this New York-based band on a recent podcast. I really needed to check them out a bit more.

While there’s some obvious Weezer geek rock comparisons, and it’s clearly of that time, it’s a very satisfying listen.

Also on the musical menu, samples of:

• Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (I forgot how good this record is)
• Singapore Sling - Killer Classics (stunning Icelandic, ice-cold dirgey post-punk)
• Kiss - Music From The Elder (A Prog masterpiece?!)
• Various Artists - Jazz Dispensary Super Skunk
