Today's Quick Mention: As you may have already heard,
John Pettis of
Bankrupt And The Borrowers
died Friday morning due to smoke
inhalation caused by a fire in his home. If you'd like to donate a few
bucks to
help out his fiancée and friends that lived with him then you can do so
here.
Well, the much ballyhooed indie-fest that is the soundtrack for Twilight:
New Moon continued to trickle out onto the internet over the weekend,
so I made the effort to check out a few more of its tracks. Below is
my favorite of the bunch (and yes, that's over Grizzly Bear and/or Bon Iver with
St. Vincent). You can own the whole affair on October 20. Enjoy.

Li - Possibility:
When I last saw Lykke Li she was playing Antone's with what
seemed to be a set of songs that were either absolute gems
(one of them is in video form below) or album filler tracks
that sounded like prom ballads. This is somewhere in
between. You won't find that charming kick to the hips
that some of her work has, but if you pay attention you'll
notice a few great lines and a surprisingly ethereal feel.
