Today's Quick Mention:  The wife (aka Dill Dozer of the Rhinestone Cowgirls) is having her first ever roller derby bout this Sunday at the Austin Convention Center at 7pm.  She'll be playing the talented Hellcats, so if you're in town I need you to come out and help me cheer her on.  Or else.

I've already confessed my undying love for Amble Down Records a few times, so I won't bother with that again.  Instead, I'll just say that while I was interested in hearing the upcoming Daredevil Christopher Wright record, In Difference To  Broken Back, I wasn't exactly in can't-wait mode.  That, of course, has now changed.  Thanks Said The Gramophone!  Enjoy.

:The Daredevil Christopher Wright - Clouds:  Things were terrible at work this week (people being let go, pay cuts being hand out), so having a six-minute plus indie rock tune - with flourishes of folk and vintage pop mixed in - certainly helps me zone out.  Well, at least that's how it was for the first listen.  After that it seemed to only be about falling in love with the detail and care (which was probably inspired by the producer, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon) that goes into every single part of it.  As is simply the case sometimes, you'll want a good pair of headphones for this.
