We got starry-eyed and laughin' when a wonderful blog we subscribe to, My hmphs, introduced us to the superb antipodean blog, Peter's Power Pop. The tunes below are but a small measure of the treasure that awaits you down under.
First, a few by some groups we didn't know and now want to.
You Am I - Berlin Chair & Mr. Milk - Peter's Power Pop
DM3 - One Time Two Times Devastated - Peter's Power Pop
Ratcat - That Ain't Bad - Peter's Power Pop
DM3 - One Time Two Times Devastated - Peter's Power Pop
Ratcat - That Ain't Bad - Peter's Power Pop
Next, a few by some we do.
The Wellingtons - Song for Kim - Peter's Power Pop
The Muffs - Really Really Happy - Peter's Power Pop
The Muffs - Really Really Happy - Peter's Power Pop
Electric Light Orchestra - Do Ya - Peter's Power Pop
The Move - Do Ya - Peter's Power Pop
Midnight Oil - Dreamworld - Peter's Power Pop - Peter also has a live version; we saw MO do this one in Austin on the Diesel and Dust tour back in '88. What a night! (eMusic has a bunch of their lps here.)
Finally, here are a few other nice things we found oot and aboot.
The Yes Pleases - Don't Say We're There Yet - Obscure Sound
Alligators - Where Does It Hide - Obscure Sound
Alligators - Where Does It Hide - Obscure Sound
Elephant Stone - How Long & I Am Blind & The Straight Line - Obscure Sound - We hope it won't seem officious to mention that back in April we posted a song by Elephant Stone here, along with five songs by Rishi Dhir's former band, The High Dials, all highly recommended.
Thanks to all the hosts!

Thanks for the mention, powerpopulist.
Your blog's fabulous, by the way, and it now has pride of place in my Blogs of Distinctions blogroll (well, it would have if Blogger didn't list the blogs alphabetically...).
Have fun!
Thanks back atcha, mate. You have superb taste in music, and I'm eagerly looking forward to disporting myself regularly at PPP! Many thanks for adding me to your blogroll.
