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

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!
