Today's Quick Mention: Holy Crap. Had I known that
Pitchfork's plan was to post up stream-only tracks and not bother actually
writing anything about the last decade of music then I wouldn't have
made it seem like such a big deal. Bunch of lazy bastards.
Outside of the awesomeness that is Cherry Tulips, there really wasn't
a whole lot on last year's Some Racing, Some Stopping that made me
want to adore it to no end and claim Headlights as the greatest band on
Earth. Fortunately, that doesn't mean I can't be excited about their
upcoming full length. Expect to see Wildlife on store
shelves via Polyvinyl on October 6. Enjoy.

- Get Going:
The press release had a bunch of comments from the band in
regards to how they had various internal issues and that the
new album was the toughest to make, but to be honest I think
that's all useless information for music that can certainly
speak for itself. So, feel free to only recognize that
this is a damn good pop rock song and that the band no
longer sounds as if they're trying to only create the most
dreamy tunes of all-time.
