Today's Quick Mention: Well, this is the last regular music post of
the year. I'll relax the rest of this week, and then as we make our
way through December I'll have my top 50 songs, top 25 albums, a film wrap
up and year-end lists from Noah, John Michael and Leah. It will all be
awesome. Trust me.
Last year the SOTO crew recommended an assortment of holidays songs for you
to head into Thanksgiving with, but this time around I decided to keep it
simple with a track from Surfer Blood. Or, as I prefer to call them,
2009's final buzz band. Astro Coast, which is their debut, will
be released via Kanine Records on January 19th. Enjoy.

Blood - Take It Easy:
So what's with all the hype? Well, to put it blunt -
they make the sort of fuzzy (but not necessarily noisy) pop
tunes the kids love these days. This song, which is
probably my favorite so far, is surprisingly breezy and
quirky with its falsetto-filled ways, so I think you may
want to also chalk up some of the buzz to versatility.
Look for them to have the first great album of 2009.
