Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post is my liner note essay for a new archival 1979 live album by my favorite power pop group the Flashcubes, Flashcubes On Fire.
The Flashcubes have been very, very important to me. Their prevailing and pervasive impact upon your humble (HAR!) blogger has manifested in a number of pieces, some of which I think are among the best I've ever written. Here's a handy map to some of those pieces:
The SAMMYS Syracuse Area Music Awards Hall Of Fame
Carl (You Da Man): The Flashcubes And Me
THE FLASHCUBES: The 1997 Bright Lights Interviews
Virtual Ticket Stub Gallery: My First Flashcubes Show
Virtual Ticket Stub Gallery: The Flashcubes, The Runaways, And The Ramones
Didn't Hear THAT Coming! The Flashcubes, "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter"
A Brighter Light In My Mind (The Complete Fictional History Of My Favorite Power Pop Group)
This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, Volume 4 Track By Track: The Flashcubes, "No Promise"
The Greatest Record Ever Made! No Promise
And that ain't all. Nope, it's not even close to all. I like the Flashcubes. And my recent essay about the unforgettable experience of a live Flashcubes show provides the subject for the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
