VAN GO Recently, I had the opportunity to connect to an old Not Lame friend, David Sippel from the band VAN GO, who have released five highly recommended albums between 1997-2010.  They are working on a new one due later in in 2013 so this Surprise Box offer you an introduction to the band and […]

THE SURPRISE BOX Back in 1999, my old label, Not Lame Recordings released one of the most important releases in short history of the label, at the point.  “At Least, At Last” was a 4 CD box set that compiled demos and live recordings from the Posies from 1987-1998. For fans, it was the ultimate […]

STEVEN WRIGHT-MARK Sometime around 2005, I had non-descript CD-R arrive in my mail at the Not Lame post office box.  Happened everyday – we’d get 5-10 CDs submitted, more than I could personally keep up with.   Normally, a plain looking disc had a chance of being lost in mountain of music on my desks. Fortunately, […]

TRAVEL LANES (Bruce note: When one has been working in and around power pop for almost 25 years, it’s always a great feeling as time on when old, familiar names re-surface and announce they have new music on the way – just this past month, Frank Brown is the latest for me with this pleasant […]

ERIK VOEKS   ERIK VOEKS is one of those ‘feel good’ stories for long-time fans of power pop.  In 1993, he released an ‘out of the box’ classic in the genre with “Sandbox”.  It was the very early days of the internet but power pop fans spread the word online inside AOL and CompuServe and […]
