Alright, time to fess up, how many of you went and saw Twilight at a midnight screening last night?  The books seem to have a penchant for enchanting the soul and causing obsession (probably the reason why I've never read them), so I understand if you got caught up in it all and had to see movie ASAP.  I just ask that you at least admit your problem - then tell me how it was.  I'm curious.  Now, today I have more Frightened Rabbit.  I know I just posted a track from their Liver! Lung! FR! live album and I fawned over their performance at Fun Fun Fun Fest, but I've had a long week and the new song that's floating around is too good to not post up on its own.  According to Pitchfork it's for a compilation called The Lifted Brow.  Keep an eye out for it.  Enjoy.

:Frightened Rabbit - Last Tango In Brooklyn:  "The fun stuff is not so fun without you"  For the majority of the year I've been overly appreciating FR's tendency to create music that, for a lack of a better word, carries some sass.  This doesn't.  In fact, it's a fairly intimate and pretty little number that essentially details someone's reflection on how they ruined their relationship, how great that person made things and the realization that they are where they are and there's nothing that can be done about it.  Get the headphones out for this.  And wine, if necessary.

Here's the band doing an older track called Be Less Rude for something called Maps.  It's probably the only song that I left FFF Fest wishing that I had been able to hear.
