Dude's done it again. Mr. Wayne Lundquist Ford, aka "The Ice Cream Man," purveyor of powerpop, janglepop, hooky melodic pop, and other fine dairy products, has blazed forth with yet another of his annual Summer compilations of primo pop for FREE DOWNLOADing porpoises.

Please keep in mind (or, like, totally ignore the fact) that some of these songs predate the current year, even going back as far as 2015 and 2016, for Pete's sake.

Below are the powerpop, indiepop, janglepop, psychpop, and other hooky melodic pop songs we discovered and most liked during the first two months of this year.

Back in December we got so immersed in putting together our 2018 Powerpopulist Faves post that we didn't post a Faves of the Faves playlist for November and December. No great harm's been done, though, because A) quite a few of the songs appeared in that 2018 list and B) this blog is probably not capable of doing great harm. So here it is, and we hope you find lots of songs to like or love. pplisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00891425078813988081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36622432.post-58882635115010412202019-01-14T09:40:00.001-06:002019-01-14T20:56:08.512-06:00Spaced-Based Powerpop Playlist

The answer: Why, yes, yes, we can, and then some. Since she herself came up with a list of 13, so did we. It could have been much, much longer, but this'll do for now.

Monster, yes, but don't let that scare you. As we don't quite know what the future of this blog will be, we decided to go through our backlog of "songs in waiting" and offer up a bunch of our favorite psych songs for free and legal download.
