Today's Quick Mention: In case you haven't noticed yet, Saddle
Creek and Cursive are selling the band's new album, Mama, I'm Swollen,
for a super cheap $4. Each day that price bumps up a buck (it'll top
out at a still relatively low $9), so bite now for the best deal.
It seems like roughly forever ago that everyone in the blog-o-sphere was
dancing and praising Scottish artist Calvin Harris, so when I received word
yesterday of a new single I actually pulled out his debut to see if it was
still good. It is. I don't believe he has a title yet for this
sophomore LP, but it is expected sometime in the summer. Enjoy.

Harris - I'm Not Alone:
As I've pointed out before, in the last year there have been
a handful of bigger acts that have moved away from the
sounds that they're known for and onto to what could almost
be considered house music, and the latest would seem to be
Calvin. Sure, he's always worked with dance-enthused electronics so
you can say it was essentially that before, but I think that
then it was raucous stuff, whereas now it's polished and
ready to be loved by all. The Killers should have talked
to him before putting out Human.
