Center Stage: An Abandoned Albums Podcast Episode 505 - Mo Troper on Power Pop, His Career, and the lasting power of ”I Am the Cosmos.”
Mo Troper is genuinely one of a kind, and that’s who joins Keith & Geoff this week.
You should know Mo - Mo is a Portland, OR-based power pop extraordinaire who creates songs with hilarity and hooks that all go hand-in-hand.
But that's not all he is and that's not all the lads chatted about.
Not to tell secrets outside of school, but Mo perhaps gives the most succinct definition of Power-Pop we've ever heard. And that fits nicely into the discussion on the lasting power of Chris Bell's masterpiece "I Am The Cosmos."
For those wondering who Chris Bell is, he was a member of Big Star - considered by many to be one of the better Power-Pop bands.
Did we forget to mention that Mo is also a scribe? He penned an article for Remember The Lightning - A Guitar Pop Journal: Vol 1 (link below) on "I Am The Cosmos".
And listening to Mo talk about his incredible body of work and his own artist journey is really a treat.
The guys cover a fair amount of ground about a fair amount of subjects, so you'll want to check this one out!
