For over ten years the NOT LAME RECORDING COMPANY has been the world's foremost distro (and part-time label!) of the best power-pop mankind has to offer. Led by our fearless leader, founder Bruce Brodeen, NOT LAME offers everything from Jellyfish to Sweet, Pilot to the Shazam--we only offer the best. After all, we're fans just like you!
There's about 100 releases under our belts, including a few box sets and countless thousands of other CD releases mostly by indie bands and labels from all over the world that have been stocked, sold and written about at NOT LAME. Yes, it is a mission. There is a principle at work here. This style of music will not be marginalized or ignored! We do feel that what Not Lame is doing has important artistic merit and relevance, for music fans, as well as for the music industry at large. In the meantime, we'll keep doing it, if YOU keep supporting it. NOT LAME does not take the importance of YOU, the fan, lightly. Without all of you reading this right now, buying the records, telling others about the music, NOT LAME would not exist for all these years. It's that simple!

I interviewed Morty Nevins of the Three Suns on my blog-the composer of 'Twilight time' gave a fascinating account of the music business of the 40's and 50's.
Good news! The brand new powerpopcompilation "Souvenirs" is being released this week! It contains 21 great North American powerpop tracks from 1975-95.

Hello Faithful
followers!! Sorry for the
disappearing act. Maggie cracked her head open during a basement show, so we’ve
been out(no pun intended) for awhile. She is almost better so when that happens
we’ll be back in the recording studio. In the meantime, we did manage to
convince our buddies at myspace.com/onryeproductions to let us do the video
game SFX that are on their newest episode.
'Fabulous songs walk a tightrope between driving post-punk minimalism and beautifully crafted other worldliness...a band to be cherished and unique on a world scale not just a Liverpool one !'
' Judging by the six treats found looming on the emily& the faves' myspace it shouldn’t be long before the music press start sniffing around and professing them to be the ones to watch. Gorgeously honeycombed treats braided by all manner of lysergic jangles, summer breezed lazy lilts, cutely attractive hooks cut with a deliriously off set dizziness.....'
