Today's Quick Mention: I only really know Lifter Puller by name, so
it was a nice surprise yesterday to find out that Craig Finn's old band is
making a comeback of sorts via reissues and the like. Pitchfork has
all the details
here.
Definitely give it a look if you like the Hold Steady.
While I'm usually pretty good at remembering to take the necessary
exploratory step from single to full length, on occasion there are bands
that manage to slip through the cracks. For instance, Grooms (formerly
Muggabears), who were
favorably placed in the podcast awhile back, and then promptly forgotten by
yours truly. Oops. Rejoicer is currently available for
you to snatch up. Enjoy.

- Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings):
As was the case with the last song I shared (it's just
below), this is all over the place with its energetic and
intriguing mix of indie rock-enthused sounds and shifts.
Most of you will probably love it, but what to do if you
find yourself on the side of the fence that only hears
clutter? Blame the weather and keep clicking play.
This is a band you should like.
