Today's Quick Mention: As shown by
Noah's Weekly
Movie Guide today, there's actually good stuff hitting
theaters! January was just awful. I think I'll start with the
sure-to-be excellent Coraline and then maybe try to finally get
around to seeing another one of the Best Picture nominations (Milk or
The Reader?)
I feel as though I've completely moved on from that early millennium sort of
radio-ready emo music, but there are a couple of acts floating around that I
still like, and one of those is Manchester Orchestra. They just don't
annoy me like everyone else in that genre. Canvasback Music will
release the band's sophomore effort, Mean Everything To Nothing, on
April 21. Enjoy.

Orchestra - I've Got Friends:
"I tried to do it all for you/You didn't do anything for me"
To be honest, you aren't going to find anything here that
you haven't heard before. Oddly enough though, it
isn't the familiarity that works for this song, it's how
genuine it feels. You never get the impression that
they're trying to force anything, and that's certainly a
reason to appreciate what they do, which is make emo music
that doesn't make you feel like you're trapped in Hot Topic.
