Today's Quick Mention:  First of all, I hate that the Lucksmiths have decided to call it quits.  They were a great pop act.  Secondly, Rent was a good experience last night, and you should seriously consider going while it's in town this week, especially if you're like the me of yesterday and haven't seen it before.

For as long as they've been around Dead Oceans has been one of my favorite labels, so of course I'm going to be here today to share whatever it is they're currently pushing.  OK, so maybe that's not exactly what's going on - I do actually think that Bowerbirds are very good, regardless of the fact that DO is putting out the band's sophomore LP Upper Air.  Look for it on July 7.  Enjoy.

:Bowerbirds - Northern Lights:  "All I want is your eyes/In the morning as we wake/For a short while"  If you come here often then you've probably seen my repeat rambles about the Lovely Sparrows and the way their music always feels warm, sincere and familiar, and that's the same sort of qualities that Bowerbirds have as well.  This will leave you wanting more, but don't even expect to notice until you've gotten lost in a large handful of listens.
