The clever name got my interest, but the music got my attention. Here's one from the new album.

Colleen Green – Pay Attention
So, my obsession with Colleen Green's new album I Want To Grow Up is quite strong. It's a really awesome power pop album full of songs that I relate to. I am freaking out since exactly four weeks from tonight she's going to be playing here at a skate park thing or something. We're not quite a quarter of the way through the year yet, but I'd be shocked if this falls out of my top 10. Anyway, this is "Pay Attention."

Bram Tchaikovsky – Girl of my Dreams/Lady From the USA

Bram Tchaikovsky released one great, wonderful now forgotten power-pop album in '79, Strange Man, Changed Man and then faded into obscurity.
Before that Bram was with Brit rockers The Motors, which was led by ex-members of pub rockers Ducks Deluxe, whose members went on to play important roles in The Tyla Gang, Dire Straits, Rockpile (w/Nick Lowe) and Graham Parker's backing band The Rumour. Members of The Rumour included Bob Andrews who played in Brinsley Schwarz along with Nick Lowe. Which all reinforces my theory that Nick Lowe is the godfather of all great music coming from Britain in the last 40 years.
