Today's Quick Mention: I have no time for shows tonight, but if
I could I would totally make the rounds and see all kinds of good stuff.
Black Joe Lewis will be at Emo's, Bill Callahan at Waterloo, Drew Smith at
Lambert's, Neiliyo at Bird's Barbershop and Haunting Oboe Music at the
Mohawk. Get out there for me!
It's been forever since I've thought about Starlight Mints (to be honest, I
thought they broke up), but
last night
I quickly became attached to their new single after needing something a bit
off kilter to offset the leftover hilarity from the Flight Of The Conchords
show. Hooray for strange circumstances! Or whatever.
Barsuk will release Change Remains digitally on June 9. Enjoy.

Mints - Zoomba:
"Starlight Mints are a group of beautiful pop mutants"
Press releases rarely ever seem to adequately describe
anything, but this one is spot on. I can't wait for
you to listen and get completely knocked on your ass by the
sheer confidence and good-time-attitude that leaps out from
the song's bizarro falsetto vocals, thumping beat and wily
guitar riffs. Here's hoping your week is ready to come
to a strange close.
