Today's Quick Mention: You'll probably be too busy for the
podcast tomorrow, so I'm saying Happy Valentine's Day
now. My gift recommendation is that you buy someone a box of
chocolates, and then eat all the good pieces before you give it to them.
They'll probably really appreciate you looking out for their weight.
So, Starbucks apparently decided to round up a bunch of talented people (DeVotchKa,
She And Him, Jem, etc) and
have them do a compilation in honor of V-Day. I haven't heard much of
it (just Rogue Wave's cover of Maps, which is sort of odd), but Death
Cab doing the Cure pretty much makes the disc worth the effort.
Sweetheart is available on iTunes now. Enjoy.

Cab For Cutie - Love Song (Cure Cover):
Honestly, if you've heard one version of Love Song
then you've heard them all. It's just one of those
tracks that doesn't end up changing much from version to
version, which is understandable since the original is
pretty much perfect. There just needs to be a good
voice singing those incredible lyrics, and Ben Gibbard
certainly has that. I would guess it has zero chance
of ever happening, but an album of Cure covers from this
veteran act would probably make for a pretty good listen.
