Today's Quick Mention: So I'm on the lookout for some
recommendations on a nice pair of shelf speakers and a subwoofer to go with
a stereo system that I'm building. It'll mainly be playing vinyl, and
if possible I'd rather not spend a zillion dollars. Discuss!
About a month ago I prefaced a new Modest Mouse release by saying that while
their last LP wasn't great, I still liked it. Well, it would seem that
I'm in the same boat when it comes to the Satellite Skin (presented
in video form below) 7", and I don't get it. Why all the hate for a
band that's still doing pretty damn good? Anyhow, I have a track from
another upcoming 7". Look for it June 23. Enjoy.

Mouse - Autumn Beds:
"They pulled up the welcome mat so many times/They hurt
their back" I wouldn't say that this is as large of a
throwback to the older days of Modest Mouse as Satellite
Skin was (to me, anyway), but it's not as mainstream pop
as a song like Dashboard either. To be honest,
it's a fairly bare bones affair with a bit of twang, some
nice percussion and a friendly reminder that Isaac Brock is
a great vocalist. I dig it.
