Today's Quick Mention:  There's some absolutely huge shows in town this weekend, but I think I'll be staying in and resting up so that I'll be able to yell my head off at the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday.  Sorry, Black Angels, Butthole Surfers/Peaches and Gogol Bordello/Apostle Of Hustle.

Proving that everything is worth giving a listen no matter how questionable it seems, today's act is a good one that willingly call themselves Total Babe and just so happen to be centered around Clara Salyer, who is only 17.  I can't even remember what I was doing at that age!  It's ridiculous.  At any rate, the trio's Heat Wave EP is available at this very moment.  Pick up a copy.  Enjoy.

:Total Babe - Gary Coleman:  There actually isn't a song on the entire EP that I don't like, but if I had to pick a favorite it would definitely be this charming gem, which somehow comfortably straddles the fence between lo-fi and the world of lush /elaborate arrangements.  Also, and this could just be me, but the vocals remind me of Lisa Loeb, and I find it entrancing.  Thoughts?
