Hey.  I've got a couple more posts up at Austin Sound if you're interested.  One is on Oh No! Oh My! and their recent Daytrotter session, and the other is on a local rock act called Whitman.  Check them out here and here.  Now, let's have a little pre-Valentine's appreciation by way of the Mystery Jets.  The quintet have readied a brand spanking new album, which is honestly a bit of a surprise considering that their last effort, Zootime, hit store shelves less than a year ago.  In any case, 21 doesn't seem to have an actual release date listed yet, but I'm guessing that it will be made available sometime in the next few months on Dim Mak here in the US and 679 Recordings everywhere else.  If not, then feel free to riot in the streets.  Enjoy.

:Mystery Jets - Young Love (Featuring Laura Marling):  "If I only knew your name I would go from door-to-door/Searching all the crowded streets for the face that I once saw."  As you probably already guessed, this is indie pop at its catchiest/sweetest, so you should fully expect it to have it lodged in your head for at least the rest of the week.  That is, of course, unless you're single.  Then you might have to double the duration.

"You can do anything you want as long as it makes sense."  While this video for You Can't Fool Me Dennis is a crafty piece of work that's visually worthy of your time, I have to say that I'm sharing it solely because of that line.  It's good stuff.
