Mo Troper is genuinely one of a kind, and that's who joins Keith & Geoff this week. You should know Mo - Mo is a Portland, OR-based power pop extraordinaire who creates songs with hilarity and hooks that all go hand-in-hand. But that's not all he is and that's not all the lads chatted about. Not to tell secrets outside of school, but Mo perhaps gives the most succinct definition of Power-Pop we've ever heard. And that fits nicely into the discussion on the lasting power of Chris Bell's masterpiece "I Am The Cosmos." For those wondering who Chris Bell is, he was a member of Big Star - considered by many to be one of the better Power-Pop bands. Did we forget to mention that Mo is also a scribe? He penned an article for Remember The Lightning - A Guitar Pop Journal: Vol 1 (link below) on "I Am The Cosmos". And listening to Mo talk about his incredible body of work and his own artist journey is really a treat. The guys cover a fair amount of ground about a fair amount of subjects, so you'll want to check this one out!

One of the first songs The Beatles worked on for their fourth record, Beatles for Sale, ended up being one of the last ones they finished, and along the way, I argue, the create the blueprint for what becomes power-pop. A catchy, repeating guitar riff on a jangly 12-string, a signature drum part, earnest, powerful, heart-on-the-sleeve vocals, and MELODY MELODY MELODY. "What You're Doing" may not be the high-water mark on the album, but it's impact on bands would be felt for generations to come. One of those bands who followed that blueprint, and then fine-tuned it themselves was Memphis's Big Star. We're joined this week by author Rich Tupica, who's book "There Was A Light: The Cosmic History of Chris Bell and the rise of Big Star" is a brilliantly written bio on Big Star founder Chris Bell, who often gets sidelined in the story for the more well known and cult-worshipped Alex Chilton. Together, Chris and Alex wrote all the material for the band's debut, #1 Record, fashioning themselves as a Lennon-McCartney-style writing team with Chris the embracing the melody and production values of McCartney, and Alex the chaos and immediacy of Lennon. The partnership didn't last, as Chris left after the album came out to no fanfare, fruitlessly pursuing a solo career, while the band forged on, putting out an additional 2 records that sank without much of a trace upon release. Over the years, the Big Star/Chris Bell catalog moved underground, a secret between musicians with a shared love of Beatle-esque pop/rock, until a 90s reunion and on-going resurgence brought the band the acclaim and notoriety that eluded them during their initial run. All 3 of their original albums, #1 Record, Radio City, and Third, rank in Rolling Stone's top 500 Albums of All Time list. Rich's book can be purchased online or via your local bookstore. We suggest ordering locally if possible, and we can't recommend the book enough. Also, check out Rich's podcast Hanging on the Telephone (long-form phone conversations with creative people) and Inzane Michigan (a dive in the sights and sounds of Michigan). This episode is a bit longer than usual, but Rich's knowledge of Big Star is impressive, and this music is as important, imho, as Beatles music, and I wanted to give it all the space it deserved. Non-Beatles songs featured in this episode are "In The Street," "Feel," "Septmber Gurls," I'm So Tired," "Thirteen," and "O My Soul" by Big Star, "I Am The Cosmos," and "You And Your Sister" by Chris Bell (the latter featuring Alex Chilton), and "The Letter" by The Boxtops.

Loose Joints is a podcast where we talk to a guest and play music they like new and old. True to the name, the podcast features a loose collection of tunes, tied together by very little logic, just like our chats. Nialler9 and Sally Cinnamon are your hosts. This month's guests is Cian Murphy, one half of I Am The Cosmos, and music shop dude at Freebird Records. Last year's 12" release is a taster of what's coming from the synth-electronic duo. This month's chat we talk to Cian about influential Cosmos music, get deep into new age, why Gorillaz cartoon characters are not better than Zig & Zag, Steely Dan and some great new music selections.

Etter lang tids systematiske undersøkelser har kulturjournalist i Dagsavisen, Bernt Erik Pedersen, funnet svaret: "I Am The Cosmos" av Chris Bell, eks-Big Star, er verdens tristeste sang. Så hvorfor er denne sangen så universelt sørgelig? Og hvorfor måtte Scarlett Johansson komme og ødelegge den? Hør den uendelig triste historien om Chris Bell, og noen tanker om hva som gjør en trist sang trist. Etter et innledende foredrag av Bernt Erik Pedersen, kan du høre Pedersen og musikkanmelder i Morgenbladet Ingrid Ovedie Volden i en samtale ledet av Anette Basso.
