Today's Quick Mention: After an initial phase of anger towards
their list-making laziness, I decided to return to Pitchfork to see how
their "Top 500 Songs Of The Decade" were playing out. Fortunately,
there was actual commentary this time, but I'm not sure how I feel about
many of their selections. Your thoughts?
As
you may have noticed, this week has just been flooded with new stuff from a
slew of great pop bands Today, hopefully to your delight, is more of
the same, but this time it's by way of The Spinto Band. Their next LP
won't be out on Park The Van until next year, but on October 6 you will be
able to get a snazzy four-song EP titled Slim And Slender.
Consider it highly recommended. Enjoy.
:The
Spinto Band - Jackhammer:
If you heard any of the band's last album, Moon Wink,
then you are probably aware of how good they are at making
the kind of pop music that makes you happily dance around
like a crazy person. Well, that's not necessarily
what's going on here, but it's still very accessible and the
almost-twangy, slow paced arrangement is an interesting
shift. So, no real need to pull out your best movies,
this one is straight up just for your listening pleasure.
Use headphones.
