Today's Quick Mention: Yes! Not only did I participate in
pure domination at trivia last night (if 2nd place didn't have bonus points
we would have won by double digits), but I got to see a very good show from
Wye Oak, Brazos and the Pomegranates at the Mohawk. Good times, my
friends.
I usually run away from "albums" that feature string quartets (or whatever)
covering rock tunes, but when I received word of Thao being involved in one
I just had to give it a listen. Surprisingly (or maybe not), it turned out well.
The Portland Cello Project's Thao And Justin Power Sessions is due
out June 9 on Kill Rock Stars, and I highly recommend it. Enjoy.

"I think I might miss you enough to say so" This is
one of my favorite songs from Thao, so to say that I was a
little nervous in hearing a different take on it would be an
understatement. However, PCP's presence has added an
interesting angle to it, and I think the track sounds worlds
better because of them. It's going to be a long time
before I can take this off of repeat.
