Today's Quick Mention: If you're searching for something to do
tomorrow night (other than Pluckers trivia, of course) then I highly
recommend that you head down to the Mohawk for Wye Oak and the Pomegranates.
It'll be my first time to see either act play, but I'm convinced it will be
a great show. Yeah?
The one and ONLY artist that I'm concerned with seeing at this year's Austin
City Limits Music Festival is Rodriguez. Why? Because the guy is
amazing - story, music, everything. If you haven't heard the re-rissue
of Cold Fact,
which was near the top of my album list last year, then you must!
Also, be sure to grab Coming From
Reality at record stores today. Enjoy.

- Heikki Suburbia Bus Tour:
I haven't heard all of Coming From Reality yet, so I
don't want to say that his entire sound shifted between the
only two records he ever made. However, in regards to
this song I do feel comfortable noting that the psych-folk
that made up Cold Fact has been set aside in favor of
lyrically driven pop rock. It still works like a
charm, but I have to admit it's a little strange (at first,
anyway) to hear Rodriguez's voice over a breezy mix
of guitars.
