„Monthly update on The Power Pop Movie:

In October, I finished a new edit of the film, adding recently shot clips about the present and future of power pop and making cuts that reduced the running time to just under 90 minutes, which I think is ideal for a music documentary, especially one about a largely unfamiliar topic.”
