Have you caught the new group that James Iha formed with Bun E Carlos, Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, and one of the Hanson kids. Power pop that’s not too bad.

Thanks for the link. I listened to it and a few other songs on iTunes. It’s OK, not great - and this from someone who has ‘Mmmbop’ on her mp3 player. : ) I think it sounds a little too pop for me to take it in big doses; just personal taste.
There’s a movie called ‘Catch and Release’ that has some great new music that I ended up downloading, including something from Deathcab for Cutie (cited on this thread). I never hear new music on the radio anymore. Mostly I get it from a movie or trailer music, or I’ll hear something on campus and look it up on iTunes. I’ve learned about a lot of new music that way, but it kinda has to find me, I don’t go looking for it.
