/?GBp[(0 zk]~cG5dT/ Transmission: Please receive: 揙NE OF 2008抯 VERY BEST!? Got it? Well, come in
pGFocw give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
H1]\B: yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
twn@~$ Ua]zTMI Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
@o ED tN this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
z -D p
LV Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
tTgW^&B *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
(
~>Q2DS finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
U ~m.I plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
r . ^&%D help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
`vw.~OBl buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
6K}=K?3Z it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
SO/]d70HG to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
(rn x56I$ 7g9 ^Jn AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
dL(|Y{4 here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
HU9y{H you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
;4$C$ r!t Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
6a? p?I K^ infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
C) s1'
=TZ while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
!!% [JR)cS Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
:iB%JY Ad has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
N09+id g include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
A> %UYA the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
Ej09RO"pB track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
gzCMJ<3!D A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be
tr9Y1vxo{ scaring its way up my year-end list.?MASSIVELY, PROFUSELY Extremely Highly
