Thanks and so long!

Hey folks,

Today was my farewell edition of the Palo Alto Pop Overthrow. Thank YOU so much for listening, for calling in, and for participating in power pop over all of these years. Before I finally hang up my headphones this last time, I’d like to take a moment to thank many of the listeners, musicians, and DJs who helped support the Overthrow:

  • Ivy
  • Gwen
  • Arnie
  • Janet
  • Howie
  • DJ Uncle Steve
  • Francis the Time Traveler
  • The Corner Laughers, KC Bowman, Allen Clapp,
    and the Bay Area power pop scene
  • The army of DJs that trained on the Overthrow :-D
  • Doug
  • Betsy
  • Mary
  • Jeff
  • Andy
  • …and YOU!

    Hooks and harmonies, then, now, and always.

    Tomorrow: an interview with Mike Viola

    Coming up on tomorrow’s edition of the Overthrow.. a chat with Mike Viola! A few short weeks ago, we featured his new album ”Electro de Perfecto” on the show. As luck would have it, we had the chance to catch up with him while he was in town last week at Slim’s in San Francisco. Hear the interview yourself by tuning in at 90.1FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or online in ultra high fidelity at http://kzsulive.stanford.edu/ just before 8AM on the west coast, 11AM on the east coast… though you should tune in at 7AM PT/10AM ET to hear the whole show! Be sure to check out our entire blog to see former playlists and featured albums.

    Check out this music video for one of our favorite songs by Mike Viola and the Candy Butchers.. “You Belong To Me Now”. Enjoy, and see you tomorrow! -Phil

    Power pop is back!

    The noise you needGreetings power pop nation – I am so happy to let you know that the Palo Alto Pop Overthrow is back! Join us this Thursday at our new weekly time, 7-9AM PT/10AM-Noon ET, on the best darn college radio station money can’t buy: KZSU Stanford. You can tune in by using the players at http://kzsulive.stanford.edu/. See you tomorrow for everything you’ve come to know (and miss), such as our featured album of the week. It’s a guaranteed good time, so see you then!

    You’ll also notice that I’ve converted over to WordPress for the blog. All of our previous interviews, playlists, tags and featured albums are being kept safe. I’ll repost the best of the best under our “throwbacks” category over the coming months.

    As always, hooks and harmonies to you and yours, from your host,
    Phil Andrews
