Today's Quick Mention:  My sweet little Dill Dozer (aka the wife) and her Rhinestone Cowgirls are going head to head with last year's champions, the Holy Rollers, this Sunday at the Austin Convention Center.  Your ass needs to be there.  Or else.

I started the week with an artist that packs a vintage sound, and that's exactly how I'm going to end it.  Only, where Naomi Shelton is part of the Daptone Records super soul revival, Dinosaur Jr. is busy reminding people that they started bringing the rock 25 years ago.  Jagjaguwar will release Farm on June 23.  Enjoy.

:Dinosaur Jr. - I Want You To Know:  In sitting around and thinking of a proper way to describe this song I realized that there was just no way around using the description alternative rock.  Now, unless somone is talking about Silversun Pickups, that's just not a term used to get people excited anymore, but since these guys pioneered the stuff I'm going to say it's acceptable.  And completely badass.  Do me a favor and crank it loud enough for the neighbors to hear.
