Power Pop and Its Discontents

Ran across an interesting little article on Slate.com called Power Pop and Its Discontents. It summarize five new/old power pop records. I can vouch for Sloan and Spoon, although I haven't heard the specific albums mentioned (they are on my To-Download list from eMusic.com, though). FYI, I tried following the link to the new New Pornographers song but the Matador records site seems to be down. Couldn't get to their main home page, either.
