Today's Quick Mention: Yuck. The triple digit
temperatures we've had lately have really been trying to discourage me from
attending shows. Honestly, I'll probably still go anyways, but it does
make me wonder whether or not some just don't even bother during the summer.
Discuss!
Cymbals Eat Guitars have already put out one of the year's best records, but
this week they sweetened the deal by releasing a non-album gem and
announcing that they'll be rolling through Austin on September 25 with The
Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. That's good stuff. Why There
Are Mountains can't physically be had for a while, but you can get it
digitally now. Enjoy.

Eat Guitars - Tungunska:
I tend to be all about putting a song on an album if it's
good, but this carries a different tone than a lot of what's
on Why There Are Mountains, so I can see why it
didn't make the cut. Although, it should be said that
the band's wide range of influences (my favorite quality)
still shine brightly, so it's not all that different
than what you've heard from them so far. It's just a
bit more swanky, which is pretty neat.
