I have an album by Martin Luther Lennon. I haven't listened to it in ages but I remember liking it a lot. Curious to see what he put together here. Thank you for posting.

Yay! New site! Sad to see the history of the old site will be relegated to the wayback machine, but things always move forward and we'll be there with you. :-)

I have tinnitus horribly. It's as loud, or louder, than any sounds around me. It's very trying at times.

Still, in spite of all of it, I wish you some improvement.

Thank you Angelo for all you do, and for hosting one of the most prime outposts for power-popsters.

As for Tony Perkins - he, along with Larry Mann, was also the creator and operator of the late, insanely great Poptopia festival, which happened in LA yearly from 1996 to 2000. Was very luckly & fortunate to attend for 3 of those years. David Bash's IPO continued the power-pop fest story, and expanded it to a full-time job with events throughout the US & Canada, plus Liverpool (the Cavern Club no less) and Stockholm.
