Today's Quick Mention: Can you believe what the Bears gave up
to get QB Jay Cutler from the Broncos? They practically Hershel
Walker'd themselves by trading all of of those picks and the
serviceable Kyle Orton. No way it works out that well for them.
I can't seem to recall why I missed the Rumble Strips' boat the first time
that it came around in 2007 with the album Girls And Weather (or, as
I like to say, the only two things that matter!), but with a nice amount of
buzz around their upcoming Mark Ronson-produced Welcome To The Walk Alone
and a super catchy single, it's time to start rambling. Look for the
LP on June 8. Enjoy.
:The
Rumble Strips - London:
Where the White Rabbits track I posted yesterday had clearly
been produced by Spoon's Britt Daniels, this upbeat pop tune
has obviously been in the hands of Mark Ronson. As
expected (at least by me, anyway), it ended up working out
well. The band is still primed to get you up and
moving and having a good time, but there's that added bit of
spunk that stem's from Ronson's trademark lush touch.
