Today's Quick Mention:  It's a bit strange, but I love the buzz of a new Jay-Z album more than I do the actual music.  People just lose their lids when it comes to him, and for whatever reasons I find it really fascinating.  Anyhow, the Blueprint 3 is streaming at MTV.  Check it out?

Normally, I spend my evenings listening to what has recently arrived in my inbox and browsing other blogs, but last night I sat down, put on the new single from Clare And The Reasons and immediately decided that I didn't really need to bother with anything else.  Frog Stand Records will release Arrow on October 20.  Enjoy.

:Clare And The Reasons - Ooh You Hurt Me So:  I love how incredibly comfortable this song sounds and feels.  Now, I have no idea what's most responsible for that - the fact that it was recorded in the duo's apartment, the lush and pleasantly quirky arrangement or Clare's endearing vocal style.  But, I am aware of how this is certainly the perfect little tune to help you cruise right on through hump day.
