ObviousPopCast Episode 1

Introducing the ObviousPopCast! It's a Podcast about music. New music, lost gems, mostly power-pop stuff. Episode 1 is 35 minutes of great music, goofy liners and some seriously twisted "wisdom" from yours truly. It's a like a radio show for musical geeks and power-pop freaks. Before it's even been heard the reviews are in...John Wurmer, Dean of Students at Okoboji University calls the ObviousPopCast "A train wreck with a great melody and a serious hook." He also went on to say "This podcast scares me."

Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Lots of great new music in this first episode, with a brand new original theme song written, performed and produced by power-pop guru Ian Tanner.

Special thanks for making this podcast possible to: Ian Tanner (theme and songs), Dave Danglis & Scott Laird (humor & liners), Fountains of Wayne (songs that inspired this popcast) and most importantly my family: Sara, Adam and Ally (putting up with me).

Great work on the podcast! I enjoyed it from start to finish. I especially like hearing any details about the band members or band histories. Thanks!

More! The podcast could have been longer. It was over too soon.

You've got a great handle on music industry info, and band info as well -- it's always interesting to hear you talk about that sort of thing -- so why not let it fly? The goofy liners could probably be sacrificed.

It would definitely be cool if you could get a second voice on there -- either a "regular," or special guests. Some banter could liven things up a bunch, and you have enough interesting friends to work with.

Love the 'cast Tony. Good, good pop from a good, good person. I liked it so much I shared it with my son Caleb yesterday...we were digging the "new" ELO song (still waiting for our copies). It was cool to listen to the show with my song and not have to worry about being embarrased by the content!

I enjoyed the funny bits and your usual whacked-out sense of humor and I will look forward to hearing more.

One suggestion...put up the playlist on your blog so I know what to buy!

Godspeed!
