I was unfamiliar with The 88 before they wrote and recorded the theme to my favorite TV show. Having listened to much of their back catalog, I can say that I like them very much! But of course I would, since they are very firmly in the power pop tradition. and power pop is pretty much my favorite style of pop music. If you want to check them out, amazon.com is offering their most recent album, The 88, for the low low price of $5.00 now through the end of the month. If you've got a fin to spare, you could do a lot worse than to spend it on this.
