SORRY, THIS OFFER IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!

 

THE (very limited) DOUBLE POWER POP DISCOVERY EXPLOSION

or otherwise known as the…

“Help Bruce Make His Wife Happy and Unstuff the Brodeen Storage Space and Home Blow-Out!”

(What you see below on this page will be gone this coming Friday, 24th  – this is a very limited offer being made to only 30 people and, guess what?  You are one of them! )

POWER POP Logo 3

(Oh yeah..forgot.  I’m sending out updates next week to everyone but if you pre-ordered the ‘Power Pop Prime – Volume 3″ book and/or the “Power Pop Planet – Volume 2” CD , that will be shipping before the month of June is gone!)

Congratulations!  You are one of 30 people who received this email(and, thus, took you to this page) and being offered this opportunity to explore some of the 15,000 CDs that were carried on the Not Lame site between 1995-2010…and have the good luck to possibly hear some incredibly rare power pop that, in most cases, has never even made up on the internet!

The last two weeks, I’ve been going through my CDs in a serious manner.  By the end of this summer, I’ve promised my wife to get the last of many thousands of CDs(don’t ask)  in our storage space cleared out and “under control“.  I made some advancement with this past Fall before winter hit…and, this weekend, I re-engaged again and it’s clear I have a lot of work ahead of me.

This is  (really) good news for you!

Due the highly customized, personalized nature of what you’re about to hear about, only a very small amount of folks are seeing this password protected page (I know, I said that already but…it is important.)

[linebreak style=”simple”]

[contentbox width=”300″ borderwidth=”50″ borderstyle=”solid” bordercolor=”8DF02B” dropshadow=”5″ backgroundcolor=”F1F58E” radius=”5″]TWO IMPORTANT THINGS:  1.  The links below will only be good until this Friday, May 24th.  2. This is not listed on the Pop Geek Heaven store.  It truly is a special, unique and limited offer that I can only do for a few handfuls of folks. [/contentbox]

[linebreak style=”simple”]

Here’s the unique offer.

This is an offer from one hardcore power pop fan(me) to another(yes, you!) and something I have been asked about doing for over 20 years and never have been able to do it – until nowThis music that has barely, rarely and tragically has been heard by very, very few people.   It’s going to be a lot of fun for the listener of what comes in this batch of tunes and I hope you think so, too.  (it’s a bit labor intensive so that is why I’m only offering this to so few folks…)

Okay, let’s take a look at what I’m talking about.

[linebreak style=”24.png”]

THE OFFER:

“The 10+10+20+1 Box of Awesomeness Box”

[linebreak style=”simple”]

A totally unique treasure hunt – with a happy ending!

For me, this offer is designed to move CDs out of storage as fast as possible and show my wife I’m serious.  (okay, start laughing but I know most of you know what I’m talking about!) 

For you, it’s a unique, special opportunity to hear a lot of music that you’d not normally have the chance to hear.

Also, I have a lot of rare, unreleased power pop related music that, at this stage, sadly will never see the light of day.  Cool, influential(and not-so-well-known) bands with unreleased, rare material and music that will probably never be released on CD or made available digitally.

[linebreak style=”24.png”]

HERE ARE THE DETAILS:

WHAT KIND OF CDs WILL BE IN THE BOX?

40 CDs and CD-Rs and this is the breakdown.  20 CDs will be picked from the stacks ‘n masses of CDs I have(in a somewhat random manner) THEN there will 10 will be CD-Rs of cool power pop LPs/vinyl that have never been available on CD or digitally AND then 10 more CD-Rs of super rare, unreleased material from the archives of lost, unknown power pop history and then 1 bonus CD-R.  10+10+20+1.

Let’s break down the numbers.

What’s On The “10+10+1” CD-Rs?    

This is this is exciting part of the “Awesomeness Box”.  10 will be CD-Rs of cool power pop LPs/vinyl that have never been available on CD or digitally and 10 will be CD-Rs of super rare, unreleased material from the archives of lost, unknown power pop history – plus a bonus disc below. (Yes, one can say it’s questionable even selling some of this material, even if at a pittance, but this is far from profiteering as it’s all very labor-intensive and all of our time and efforts is worth something always and, frankly,  we’re talking less a bit more than one dollar on each one so there’s no wealth building going here but this music will stay alive and not disappear — and it will get into the ears and hands of those who truly care and will attach value to the music beyond just another digital file to plaster and lose on another external hard-drive..that’s a rant, though, for another time.)

[contentbox width=”300″ borderwidth=”50″ borderstyle=”solid” bordercolor=”8DF02B” dropshadow=”5″ backgroundcolor=”F1F58E” radius=”5″]AN AMAZING BONUS:  Two weeks ago, I came across a CD I lost about 13 years ago from a major label artist who released one album in 1999, had a hit – and disappeared. (well, he did release one more CD 5 years later but few knew it even existed, sadly…).  All the songs on this CD were studio demos from 2001 that were being pitched to his label(I knew his A&R guy) and which were…rejected.  Why?  “No hits”.  Absurd!  When you hear these 10 songs, you’ll be stunned at how great they were and what a fully developed album these songs could have been.  [/contentbox]

[linebreak style=”simple”]

With the 11(includes the above bonus) CD-Rs of the unreleased and demos, some of the artists include:  Sugarbomb, the Tories, the Semantics, Pinwheel(early FOW), School of Fish, Material Issue, the Excuse(amazing unknown from Sweden), Wondermints, Tal Bachman, Imperial Drag, the Pranks, 70s Memphis pop bands and more.

With the other 10 CD-Rs that cover never-released on CD or being available digitally, these gather up all kinds of tracks from releases from the mid/late 70s that run the gambit of wicked rare/unknown, modestly off-the-beaten track and unknown but still, sadly, never released on CD or as digital downloads.

What’s On The Other “20” CDs?

20 CDs from the shelves of NotLame.com.  What kind of quality and match to your tastes will be in the big ‘ole box?  Well,  it’s a TRUE GRAB BAG SCENARIO.  It’s a  grab bag of CDs that were mostly on the Not Lame site which covered melodic and power pop oriented music but there will be other genres in the box because the Not Lame Store carried other CDs that were not power pop. I just gotta get these CDs out of my house and storage!    There is a luck inside something like this but…If this is for you, just have some fun with the process and experience!

Ill throw some extras in there, too so it will be more than 20 of these.  🙂

[linebreak style=”simple”]

WHAT IS THE COST: 

$90 for 40 CDs/CD-Rs —- that would be,  20 CDs and 20 CD-Rs – plus a revelatory and awesome bonus CD-R.

(If you do NOT have a PayPal account:  You can order with NO problem if you do not have a PayPal account, so you are clear!  It’s just like ordering on another site online, PayPal just processes your credit card is all without having an account with them.   If this is an area of concern for you, I made a video for you at THIS LINK that will show you the 45 second process.)

HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?

US Orders:   This will ship FedEx Ground(trackable) and will cost $15.

Non-US:  Cost is $26.   Important:  CDs will be sent without jewel cases in order to save you on shipping costs because our rates went up quite a lot back in January.  (if you really want the cases, just email me and we can figure out the postage…)
