Power Pop Vinyl Collection Update! (XTC, Sloan, Bram Tchaikovsky, ETC.)!

Great stuff Hanna! Thank you for giving me a shout out I really appreciate it!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Keep doing what you're doing! :-) More music!

[@keithkoenig5320]

SLOAN!! Criminally underrated. Still going strong with all the original members...The Sorrows...Wow!! I discovered your channel recently and just wanted to compliment you on your exquisite taste! Anytime ANYONE wants to nerd out about Power Pop (meant in the best possible sense) , my ears perk up and my heart skips a beat! The jangly guitars and mellifluous melodies are golden honey to my ears. Shoes, Windbreakers, Big Star, Badfinger, Tommy Keene, the dBs, Dwight Twilley, Dangtrippers...up to more modern bands like Posies, Teenage Fanclub, Redd Kross, Gigalo Aunts, Myracle Brah, and countless others, far too many to mention. Thanks for the great videos and you always have me scribbling down the band's I missed or have heard of and didn't get around to discovering. Very Cool ! 😎

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Keith! Thank you! Yeah, isn't it cool Sloan still kick out killer albums with all 4 original members?! Love them tons! I'd love to see 'em live one day. Have you checked out the latest Sorrows album? It's pretty great! Hope you check out all the videos in my power pop and jangle pop series! :-)

[@keithkoenig5320]

@@TheOmahaIntrovert I have two Sorrows reissues from Bomp! Records on CD and an old copy of their debut on vinyl. Will definitely seek out the new one. I luckily got to see Sloan twice here in Kansas City in the past several years. The "12" tour and the tour a few years ago in which they played "Navy Blues" in it's entirety. Both shows were at a club I loved called the Riot Room. It closed for good during Covid and then burned down shortly after. Saw many cool shows there. A personal moment of silence...sob! Seeing Sloan, Posies, Nada Surf, and Redd Kross in clubs in the past several years was so cool. Being that close to bands you have admired for years beats any arena experience (although I dig ALL live music experiences). Seeing Drive-By Truckers and the underrated Lydia Loveless tonight, in fact. Anyway, I will check out more of your videos, definitely. That you love The dBs is just awesome. "Repercussions" is a fantastic record. Thanks again for your videos. Your love of music is obvious and impressive. Take care...

Hey Hanna - Thanks for including the Tom Curless & The 46% record! We had a blast making the record - glad you're enjoying it. It's an honor to be included with all this other great stuff!

[@SteveMace79]

I was at my local second hand records store yesterday, and I spotted a 2-disc CD set of the Soft Boys album, "Underwater Moonlight", for 3 British pounds. I remembered this from your videos. Now, I don't normally make blind buys but the low price, and your enthusiasm for this band and Robyn Hitchcock, made me decide to take a chance and get it. I hope that I will like it - channels like yours have introduced me to so much new music 😁

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi there, Steve! Ohhh, a 2-CD set of Underwater Moonlight! I'm so pleased that you picked that up. It will not disappoint. Amazing guitars, bass, and offbeat lyrics from Robyn, as always. It's a standout album! So excited for you to hear it! Cheers!

[@thiscorrosion900]

That's a must-own for Soft Boys and Hitchcock fans. There was also a 2 CD or 3CD Soft Boys box set that came out in 1991 or so, but I stupidly never bought it, being skint at the time. Now it's very difficult to find.

So great Hanna. this is a good one !! Like your Byrds T !! I voted for '77 as well..love that "Nonsuch" LP.. good idea to get it on vinyl.. the best tracks on that one , are some of my very favorite in their catalog.. gonna cut this short, and watch more later... in downtown San Francisco today..

Hi JT! Glad you liked this installment. Thanks for voting in my poll! Can't wait to do the '77 video! Ohhh, have fun in San Fran! Love that place. I lived an hour and a half southeast of there in 2006 and loved visiting Amoeba and Rasputin frequently! Cheers!

[@the80slivehere]

😊👍. Killer stuff. A bunch of music that I must seek out. Always have a little composition book out to take notes. I got the Midnight Callers CD at the very end of last year. I would have sworn that you showed it previously. Cool swag. On Bram T., there is a cute little CD boxed set The Complete Recordings 1978-1981 with lots of bonus tracks (Cherry Red Records). It is quite awesome. Rock on, Hanna! - Heather

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Heather! As always, I love when you leave a comment! Nope, I didn't get that Midnight Callers until a few months ago when Matthew Street sent it my way. Not sure why I didn't catch them sooner. I think I'll need to seek out that Bram T. CD box set for sure. Cherry Red to the rescue! I love their comprehensive box sets! I just bought one they did for Sad Lovers & Giants from the 80s! Great synth pop/goth band. Rock on!

[@johnw706]

You have given me some more bands to investigate , like the Sorrows , Shivvers , Merrymakers , and Slickee Boys . That XTC album was a great pickup .Thanks for the recommendations !!!

Greetings Hanna. More great finds. Love those albums by XTC and Sloan. Sloan 12 is also a great power pop release if you haven't yet heard it. I have been trying to obtain Bram Tchaikovsky's first album on cd, but very pricey. I opted for the complete recordings 3cd box set. A great value. Thank you again for all of the resources! Your subscribers also have good taste in music and I have found many great suggestions from them as well.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Todd! I do have Sloan's 12 on vinyl. My favorite by them is "Never Hear the End of It." Such awesome flow to that album and around 30 songs! Someone else here mentioned that Bram Tchaikovsky box set as well. I think I need to seek that out! I will respond to your e-mail tomorrow. Thank you for the thoughtful comment, as always! Yes, you and my viewers always provide the best suggestions and I'm grateful!

Hi there! I happily stumbled upon your channel last week and enjoy your no nonsense, matter of fact approach. I was prepared to scold you for the lack of a more thorough nod to Redd Kross, glad to see you recognized this as well 😊 My bank account has taken a hit since I found you, you have helped rejuvenate my longtime love of power pop and I have placed several Discog orders recently (including The Shivvers and the second Borack book to accompany the first one I’ve had for years). So thank you for that! A few titles I would recommend if you don’t already have them: Starbelly - Lemonfresh Cherry Twister - At Home With Splitsville - The Complete Pet Soul Bronco Bullfrog - Oak Apple Day Wanderlust - s/t Thanks again, take care and happy spinning! 😊

[@mcpop3005]

I bought those Starbelly and Cherry Twister CDs from Not Lame back in the late 90’s- both are stellar as is that Splitsville!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey there! Haha, sorry/not sorry on the recent hit to your wallet. I'm in the same boat. I swear, as soon as I think I'm satisfied with music purchases for a while, something else pops up and then more is added to this list! I can think of way worse hobbies, though! Yeah, I'm not sure why I neglected to mention Redd Kross earlier, but that has been remedied! I don't think I've ever mentioned the Producers, either. I have two of their albums that I probably haven't properly presented in a power pop video yet! You recommended some new ones to me that I'll have to check out. I don't have Splitsville or Cherry Twister on any format, but I remember hearing those albums close to the time they were first released and fell in love with them. I may have even downloaded them back in the day! I will research the others, thanks! :-)

Hey, Hanna! I'd never heard of The Midnight Callers, but I'm checking them out on KZbin right now. Wow! What a great sound! Shades of Dreams So Real (cool late-80's band from Athens, GA.). This is one I will definitely crank up in the car. Their song, "I Need You," could be a missing Cheap Trick track. Also, I've been a fan of Sloan for many years; saw them live back in the late-90's. "Action Pact" is another great record from them. Finally, looking forward to your 1977 retrospective. I was a junior in high school, so I'm sure it will bring back memories. Have a great Summer!

[@garyolshan4177]

Yes, the leader singer, and songwriter tied of Aids many years ago. Agree, Pet Rock was a stronger album than the debut. Barcelona is a brilliant tune. XTC's extraordinary catalogue is as good as any in pop/rock history.. But I seem to play Nonsuch a bit more than the others. Keep up the terrific shows, Hana. Have you dove into Flash and the Pan yet?

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I've been meaning to dig into Flash and the Pan. I've only heard a few of their tunes via KZbin. I should pay more attention since I indeed love the Easybeats! Glad you agree with me about Pet Rock from the Sinceros! :-)

[@garyolshan4177]

Did some research on Pet Rock. Record company didn't like the first version called Second Debut so they brought in Gus Dundgen, who has produced XTC among others. He produced a real gem. Great rhythm section with Ron Froncois on bass and Bobb Irvin on drums (played with Nick Lowe!) Pop on!

Nice The Byrds T-shirt, Hanna. My favorite The Who album is Who's Next (1971) but Sell Out (1967) is spectacular with its psychedelic ''Wonderful Radio London.'' I'm obsessed with these obscure bands like LMNOP, Green, The Sinceros, The Nerves, Radio Days and others that are unknown in Brazil. Some of my favorite 1977 albums are Queen-News of the World, David Bowie-Low and Heroes, Fleetwood Mac-Rumours, Billy Joel-The Stranger, Sex Pistols-Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols, Ramones-Rocket to Russia, Television-Marquee Moon, Ted Nugent-Cat Scratch Fever, Talking Heads-Talking Heads:77, Elvis Costello-My Aim is True, AC/DC-Let There Be Rock and Pink Floyd-Animals. Rock on!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi there, Alen! Hope you had a fun weekend. I think I love Who Sell Out because of the psychedelic touches and the songs Pete sings on like "Our Love Was, Is," "I Can't Reach You," and "Sunrise" are so glorious. Stay tuned for the '77 video!

Of course Sloan's One Chord is one of my favourite albums ever...lots of memories associated with that one.

[@33RPMVinyl]

When you showed the Who album you said, "Did I need this .... yes". My philosophy has always been, if you want a record get it and never second guess yourself. If you hesitate getting a record, before you know it, it is out of print and either impossible to get or very expensive. BTW - for the 1977 video I'm confident you will show Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever :-).

I've got Pet Rock too and Disappearing was a minor radio hit in Chicago back in the day. The Who Sell Out reissue has made the rounds on the VC and rightfully so. I didn't know about Twilley covering the Beatles! Dang, I gotta get that. Great stuff overall, Hanna! I can't wait for the '77 video!

[@ihavenoquarrelwithyou3249]

So many great recommendations in this video. Thank you! The vinyl Nonsuch by XTC looks incredible. Beautiful packaging. The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkin Head is one of my favorites. Bram Tchaikovsky is a name I haven't heard for years. He was always on the periphery but for some reason, I never dove in. Thanks for the motivation. I think your initial impression of The Motors is pretty accurate. The song Airport is the highpoint. I finally know why The Beat from England is known as The English Beat. The Nerves off-shoot was The Beat. How did I not know that? The Who Sell Out reissue looks impressive. And love seeing the very non-power-pop Banana LP lurking in the background.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

And thank you for watching this one! If you see that Who Sell Out reissue anywhere by you, consider getting it! Great issue! Thrilled that Nonsuch was finally reissued! And yeah, initially I was confused with The Beat/The English Beat, too! Everyone needs that VU album in their collection! Have a great weekend!

[@StephenSchnee]

Love both Sorrows albums. "Christabelle" from their 2nd album is Power Pop gold. They just released a new version of the song via Big Stir. Not sure which LMNOP album its is on, but my fave song by them is "Please Beleive Me". Both of those Merrymakers are great. The Swedish Pop scene of the '90s was amazing. That Midnight Callers album is fantastic! One of my faves from 2020! LOVE Green, too. I always describe them as a garage band inspired by the Kinks and Prince (especially when Jeff hits those falsetto notes). There's a 3CD Bram Tchaikovsky set that features everything they released. Pet Rock is great - Sinceros' Don Snow joined Squeeze and Bobby Irwin joined Nick Lowe's band! Love Great Buildings! The Nerves - great stuff. The first EP and album from Peter Case's The Plimsouls are more Nerves-relaed classics! Great batch of music!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey there, Steve! Thanks for stopping by for this power pop installment. Maybe I'll get lucky and find the 'Love too Late' album from Sorrows in the future. Oh, I love 'Please Believe Me' from LMNOP as well! I like how you describe Green and the Kinks/Prince comparison! I need to track down that Bram Tchaikovsky 3-CD set. I've added it to my wishlist! Really appreciate your comment. You are so knowledgeable! Cheers!

[@loughtonfolkclub827]

Hi Hanna Lots of music you showed that I have never heard or seen around. Power Pop is a niche market in the UK and you really have to dig deep to find it, but if you do find it, its usually cheap. I have a good collection of 45's, mostly punk, new wave and power pop, many of those bands never made an LP. A record dealer friend of mine has just got 50,000 singles from Canada and I am going through them. Loads of good stuff and many are demo's. The Shivvers, I have a 45 called Teen Line ( i think), I am after that LP. There is also an Australian band called the Shivers (one V). They made an LP called Power Pop, its good. Red Kross a great band very underrated i think, Show World is my favourite. Another very entertaining and most importantly informative video. Gary

Greetings, Gary! Ah, so excellent that you have the Teen Line 45 by the Shivvers! Hold onto that one, my friend! Another viewer here also mentioned the other Shivers band. Need to look into them. And you have fantastic taste if Show World is your favorite from Redd Kross! Have fun going through those 50,000 singles...that's quite the haul, wow! Always great to hear from you!

[@broke.on.records]

Love to see that GBV. I preordered the reissue coming in September. Sloan!!! Amazing score on that LMNOP. I had to pass on it twice on vacation a couple years back. Damn the Shivvers too, you got all the heat in this one. Green all day. I just saw Phil Angotti who currently plays in Material Issue do all of Fables Of The Reconstruction the other night. Glad the CDs made their way over.

Hi Logan! Thanks again for your generosity in sending those CDs. Are you looking forward to seeing the Material Issue documentary? Cheers!

Absolutely! There’s another one too that’s about the Midwest in general right?

I have to check out The Shivers and it's weird because I know another US band with the same name, they released only 2 country rock albums in the 90's, I have both on cd, and if you like bands like The Walkabouts or Giant Sand you'll find them very interesting. Another great video, greetings from Greece!!!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Wow, a viewer from Greece! Thank you for saying hello and I hope all is well with you! Yes, this Shivvers band I showed were outstanding. I'll have to look up the other Shivers. I'm not familiar. I can dig some alt-country or country rock on occasion, though! Peace.

You're not alone Hannah. The boxset, and the 2lp mono, bring my total of The Who Sell Out to 5 copies. Unreleased tracks always hook me. Pete Townshend makes the best demos. I had brief conversation with Paul Collins when the Beat were setting up for a lunch time preview of their evening show at my college. What I remember is he had on a pair of shoes with the longest tips I'd ever seen. I immediately thought of the witches feet sticking out from under Dorothy's house in The Wizard of Oz. Have a great weekend Hannah✌☀️

Hi Robert! Okay, high five on your ever-growing Who Sell Out collection as well! Pete's demos are indeed ace. They always keep me coming back.

I grew up here in 'Braskee but lived in PHX for a while, so Sun City Girls were a big deal for some people in the know. They moved to Seattle before I moved there though. Anyway, last time I was back a friend told me about their opening set for Red Kross. Redd Kross? where Sun City Girls played a cassette of their music while setting up the drums, guitars, and gamelan orchestra. Then when it was all set up, they immediately started breaking it down again and that was the set.

Hi Hanna 🙋‍♂️ - I thought The Sinceros would be a big hit with Take Me To Your Leader sounding just like The Cars. The Nerves are legends. Like The Sinceros , poor Paul Collins found himself on Columbia with The A&R guy who signed him having left the label by the time the record was released. Some guy with the last name Ellis - no , not me ! Nice XTC - not their greatest but time has been kind to it. A solid affair. Can't believe 77 beat 81 ! 👋

Hi there, David. As usual, you are full of knowledge! The Nerves were legends indeed! This is one of my favorites from XTC. Maybe I'm in the minority with that opinion! Yeah, 77 did beat 81.
