Today's Quick Mention: Be sure to enter the Thermals contest
that I posted up on the front page yesterday! If your name is drawn on Friday you could
net a digital copy of the band's new album and a pretty snazzy shirt.
That's good stuff, especially if you're broke and like shiny new things.
One
of my favorite labels, Secret Canadian sent me an email on Friday that
carried word of a new full length from Foreign Born. Usually, anything
from them gets me excited, but a taste this early in March from an album
that doesn't come out until late June makes me think they're being impatient
because it's awesome. Remember the title Person To Person!
Enjoy.

Born - Vacationing People:
"It's been said that Foreign Born is an anthem band without
"the" fist-pumping anthem, which may be true. And this is
OK, because the trade-off is for an album far more cerebral
and sustaining. The thing with summer anthems is that they
only last a summer, Foreign Born delivers the soundtrack for
the backyard BBQ of the ages." After I had given this
gem a good five or six listens I saw this little spiel at
the bottom of their press release, and I realized it was
exactly what I was thinking. These guys make memorable
tunes that fill the room with the sort of big, warm sounds
that good weather and even better times demand. Feel
free to put this on, open the windows and kick back in your
favorite chair.
