Listen to Utopia: 'Deface The Music', (Bearsville, 1980) and anything you can find by Todd Rundgren!  Besides that, listen to Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, and Elvis Costello and behold the world's greatest pop!  Rock out to Sloan, Fountains Of Wayne, and Jason Falkner and you won't go wrong.  Uncle Muzz sez so!!  ('Get Happy!!') 

Enjoy the first 3 Smithereens albums:

I'm also really digging The Faces right now, so check them out!

Please Consider This For Rock 'N' Roll!  (This tuneage is really kinda where I'm comin' from, ya dig?)

Seriously, I'm just rattling this shit off as I think of it, but all you humans do deserve to feel happy...

I Love You,

Scotty
