About Me


WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF THE AIRWAVES AND BROADENING LISTENER CHOICE...why are virtually all the airwaves and media outlets in the U.S. controlled by just a few large corporations? Could that be why there is so little choice of formats in commercial radio and TV? Why is Congress moving to squash internet radio the raising royalty fees to a level that eliminates most independent broadcasters? Find out more here: Save Internet Radio WE SUPPORT INDIE BANDS AND LABELS - While we do run some major-label artists to broaden the station's appeal (our own little bow to "The Man"), the "major" labels tend to be so profit-oriented that their A&R efforts seem disappointingly focused on duplicating what already sells by promoting artists also willing to pander to some degree to the corporate marketing system themselves to achieve popular noteriety...!!! - rather than risking resources on new or different acts. For this reason we believe strongly that it is the indie labels that are typically the true music industry innovators who keep original music alive. Thus we enjoy supporting and promoting labels and artists in this niche - provided their material in fact appeals to our ever-sharpening powerpop ear drums!!!
GUIDELINES FOR UNSOLICITED FRIEND-REQUESTS:
1) BE POWER-POP RELATED
...either an artist or a power pop label/resource (like IPO, SXSW, etc). Not looking for fans or others (though your email feedback is always welcome...).
2) I once had great aspirations of using this site to discover new artists. Sadly - the amount of unrelated material offered up greatly outweighs the amount of relavant material. For my own purpose "Friends" are limited to artists appearing on the station. So I'll leave it at: "If you REALLY think you fit this format and have a track that would land amongst the 1500 greatest power pop tracks ever, send me an email asking me to come listen...
3) TYPICAL TRACK LENGTH: an ideal good power pop track can typically clock in at about 3:20 or less. In part this helps me maximize the number of tracks I can feature on the station. There are exceptions, but generally these are reserved for REALLY REALLY special tracks.
REMEMBER - IT'S ALL ABOUT EVERYONE DISCOVERING, HEARING AND ENJOYING MORE AND MORE FUN GUITAR POWER POP! WOO-HOO!!!

Influences: The above links are the best connections we could find to the CFSB artists. We also, like you, HATE broken links!!! If you know of a better myspace link (non-fan page) or find a broken link, please drop us an e-mail and let us know!
The Beatles (who invented modern guitar pop as we know it), The Who (Pete Townsend originally coined the term "power pop" while describing the early Who sound), Big Star (who first consciously "revived" the power pop sound for its own sake), and The Deal (whose live shows back in the 80s first inspired this station's undying love of the power pop guitar sound)
Sounds Like: A HELLUVALOTTA FUN!
Record Label: supporter of indie labels
Type of Label: Indie
