Today's Quick Mention: As I mentioned
on Twitter yesterday, I'm really excited that Conan
choose TBS as his new home. He gets an 11pm
slot, a four day work week, ownership of this show,
a chance to stay in California and a channel that's
already ranked #2 on cable TV with 18-49 year olds.
Should work well.
I
probably should have already mentioned Suckers' new
album, today's song and the fact that they're coming
to Austin (April 23 at Emo's with Local Natives),
but I've been really busy. I think. In
any case, they're a good band and you'll be doing
yourself a favor by snatching up Wild Smile
when Frenchkiss Records puts it out on June 8.
For now though, here's a cover. Enjoy.

- Boys Who Rape (Raveonettes Cover):
I've been on a Raveonettes kick recently (they're actually
playing Pysch Fest the same night that Suckers are in town),
so to hear the dance-worthy thump taking out in favor of a
dark and almost whimsical sound is kind of weird.
Still, what they've shifted to definitely works, and I think
I actually prefer this version to the original.
