Since SXSW ended I've been
taking it easy on the show front, but over the next week I'm hoping to catch
Langhorne Slim, Wilco and Be Your Own Pet. If you're in town I'll be
the really tall guy who conveniently stands in front of you the entire time,
so be sure to introduce yourself! Now, let's talk Sunny Day Sets Fire.
I've already mentioned them once this year, but that was just a quick blurb
about their Stranger/Remix EP and long before anything concrete was known
about their upcoming full length. As you probably expected, that's all
changed. The band's new effort, Summer Palace, is actually out
now if you want it in download form via iTunes or eMusic, but if you want it
in your hands then you'll have to wait until July 8. I'm thinking
either way is a good choice. Enjoy.

Day Sets Fire - Brainless:
Proving that they have the necessary talent to do much more
than I initially gave them credit for is this nifty pop tune
that features what is probably one of the more pleasant
arrangements I've come across this year. I mean, just
try to not adore the bouncy horns that drive this
gem. This overly long week could not have possibly
ended on anything else. Crank it and kick back!
Here is a
rather neat video that was made for a song titled
Wilderness. For some reason I was thinking
that it had been put out recently, but Youtube says it was
added almost two years ago. Oops.
