q{D_p[q b0W~*s [4 Transmission: Please receive: 揙NE OF 2008抯 VERY BEST!? Got it? Well, come in
`I*W}5 give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
/)I:C z/f yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
CZ2&9Vb9I & h)G>Sqc Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
/H 3u^ this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
Vs@[=" Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
cRYnQ{$' *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
\hG o D finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
5 :O7c Br plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
MbY?4i00%h help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
. ]
=$(( buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
@0}Q"15,I it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
]|NwC < to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
ho*44= j AKW M7fI AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
e} | UVoeH here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
2c?
-_OCy; you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
s7j#Yg Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
aju!A q54G infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
Rou$`<{H while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
EOqv u=$6 Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
T\ ;7' has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
.iK{=L/(y include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
QLNQE 6- the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
DRS68 ^ track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
{&tbp
Bl# A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
qRXQL"Pe_l scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
