Today's Quick Mention:  Did you guys catch MGMT on SNL?  I didn't (I only watched them do Flash Delirium here), but Twitter was lit up with people calling the performance bland and railing against the new album.  I've never liked them live, but I do think Congratulations is a pretty neat listen.  Thoughts?

Not sure if you fine folks remember me sharing some music from The School (it was about a year ago), but they're a good pop act and I was pretty happy to get an email last week with their new album attached to it.  The full length is titled Loveless Unbeliever, and it was just recently slapped on store shelves by Minty Fresh Records.  Enjoy.

:The School - Is He Really Coming Home?:  To be honest, there isn't anything here you haven't heard before from acts like Camera Obscura and/or Belle And Sebastian.  That isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially since this is impressively warm and infectious, but you should definitely not click play with the hope that your mind will be blown by some new and original sound.  It just won't happen.  Have fun singing-a-long though.
