Despite rain and work I was able to make it to the First Day Of Summer Festival on Saturday.  It was only for the Boxing Lesson (who put on a great set), but I did go!  Anyone else get around to getting down at Guero's?  If you couldn't then that's OK, because I still love you.  Although, if you did go then you're now a preferred reader.  Or something.  In any case, let's discuss Sam Champion.  I could of swore that the last time I mentioned them they were on the verge of releasing their sophomore effort, but after all this time I just realized that the disc still isn't out.  Who teases an album with singles and videos for almost a year!?  It's crazy.  Thank whoever that North Street Records is finally going to put out Heavenly Bender on September 2.  Enjoy.

:Sam Champion - Be Mine Everyone:  I know that it's usually a better idea to ease into the new week with something a little more calm, but for the sake of the weekend past let's bounce around and get crazy to this raucous rock track from the band that I thought just made catchy pop tunes.  Actually, while you get acquainted with your new favorite summer jam I'm going to look up tour dates so that I can figure out how soon I can willingly get my ears blown out.

Here is a video for the song Dead Moon (which is on the new album) that features one continuous shot and a bunch of hung-over people at a rooftop party.  You should watch it.
