>4. The Meices. "Tastes Like Chicken." A real good Replacements style work >out. Take a look if you haven't had a chance. >Jake I put Uncle Joe's on my list in lieu of their partners-in-crime, The Meices, but this was definitely one of my favorite rock 'n' roll albums from that period. In fact, seeing UJBOD and The Meices at Moe's--after the release of their respective albums--will always be one of the high voltage moments of my concert-going life. Mmmm . . . voltage . . . And I have to agree with Daddy Don about power poop. In general, I find the genre to be nothing more than boring rock 'n' roll. And I, for one, have no interest in hearing rock 'n' roll WITHOUT the edge because that's the whole point. Where I would slightly disagree with Yates' assertion, however, is in these band's ignorance of black music (although putting a little ass in their bass couldn't hurt). Not that I endorse a lack of R or B, but my ultimate problem with power pop isn't the pop--it's the lack of power. If you're gonna bother having the damn genre in the first place, then at some point, it would seem that power would have fit into the equation. Let the lips flame. Lance . . .
