Today's Quick Mention: Record Store Day
is tomorrow! Even if you don't have a machine
that will actually play an LP, I still recommend
that you go out and buy something from your local
shop(s). It'll be good for you. And the
economy. And the United States Of America.
You're not a terrorist, are you?
All kinds of fancy tracks from big name acts fell
into my lap yesterday, but I couldn't seem to make
time for any of them because of Take, a beat maker
from LA. Yes, that's right, a beat maker.
Weird (to me anyway). Alpha Pup Records will
release Only Mountain next Tuesday, and I
believe it'll be worth your time. Enjoy.

- Neon Beams:
I've never been one to find remixes or guitar-less
instrumental music to be very appealing (or listenable, for
that matter), but I really love this track. Its
runtime is under four minutes, so it never wanders off into
the realm of over-indulgent electronic wizardry, and the
overall sound is just spruced up and layered enough that you
aren't only left with the big beat that drives it.
Great stuff. Listen with headphones.
