Today's Quick Mention:  Well, this weekend I somehow managed another fantasy football tie (in all my years playing this has never happened once), which is kind of lame.  On the bright side though, I also had an office-best 11-2 game pick record.  So, semi-hooray!

I know I'm one of the few on this particular side of the fence, but to me the Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca is not the album of the year.  Now, I do think a couple of the songs are great, but
for the most part it feels overworked, and I just can't seem to fully immerse myself in it.  Crazy?  Maybe.  You decide and let me know.  The song below is the b-side to the Temecula Sunrise EP.  Enjoy.

:The Dirty Projectors - Ascending Melody:  As is the case with any song from this band, this is a complex (or weird, if you prefer) track that will leave either leave you smitten or annoyed.  Personally, I started out feeling the latter, but once I was able to get my brain to relax and just listen it wasn't too long before I flip-flopped opinions.  Guess I'll have to go back and try the same method with the full length.
