Marshall Crenshaw - Too Many Hooks?

Has anyone seen him him do his tribute to producer Tom Wilson? He's also making a doc about him, that's mentioned on the Tom Wilson thread that's on ILe.

Crenshaw talking a bit about the planned doc and Wilson

I don't think the dB's transcend power pop. I think they are not textbook power pop but I don't see how their deviation from it is ultimately more expansive.

And if Bryson is in any sense an archetypal power pop guitarist, I'm still disagreeing also with the root-fifth argument on power chords. He played thirds all the time.

I was commenting on the confusion between the correct definition of power chords and the incorrect one influenced perhaps by the term power pop and, as is often case, confusion may have increased instead of decreasing.

This guy is so fucking good. I will hear no complaints about the production on Field Day.

Yeah "whenever I think about you" dazzles

Could definitely use some more MC in my life right about now

hell, even MC could use more MC

Love that both he and fellow smarty pants cult songwriter Robert Forster were astute enough to cover Grant Hart's "2541."

Also love how MC screwed up the lyrics ("big windows, to lay in the sun") but rolled with it anyway...

Does he still use the wrong lyrics when he plays it live?

Had to ponder for a second to recall what the real lyric is. “Big windows, to LET in the sun,” no?

That's right, though I have to admit I had, for years, misheard "we had to keep the stove on all night long so the mice wouldn't freeze" as "so the PIPES wouldn't freeze"...
