Today's Quick Mention: Get out this
weekend! You can get a little music with Ume
at Emo's tonight and then some comedy with Brian
Posehn and Matt Bearden at Red 7 tomorrow.
Both shows are free if you can make it past the door
guy without paying.
Sorry this is going up at such a wacky hour, I had
to work an event last night and I just didn't have
enough time assemble it. But it's here now!
Don't judge me.
Enjoy.
:The
Black Angels - No Satisfaction (Black Mountain Cover):
I know I just mentioned these locals on Monday, but since
then they've released this cover and announced a full
co-headlining tour with Black Mountain. The original
version of this has a sort of campfire feel to it, so this
bombastic take is pretty interesting. As I mentioned
earlier in the week, both bands play La Zona Rosa on
November 19.
:The
Drums - Down By The Water:
This is an awesome song. Before it came along I "got"
why seemingly everyone was on The Drums bandwagon, I
just didn't really feel as though it was my thing. But now?
Well, I'm open to more and I'm definitely anxious to hear this gem
live when the band plays ND on September 25. Anyone
feeling friendly enough to send over their currently
available self titled debut?
:Swimsuit
- Evaporation:
This little pop number was found while I was doing some
browsing over at the always reliable
Skatterbrain. According to the site
the band only just formed this year, but I doubt I ever
would have guessed that since they seem to have a fairly
tight sound. Damn talented bastards! Anyhow, as
of now there's only an EP of demos, so you'll have to join
me in waiting for something more official.
:Lauryn
Hill - Repercussions:
And just like that, Lauryn Hill has returned. Or has
she? No one really seems to know. And, oddly
enough, I'm not sure they care either. It's as though
the world instantly forgot about her ten-year absence as
soon as they heard that beautiful and entrancing voice of
hers. Can't say I blame them, really, but a solid
answer or two would make this an even better song. On
another note, will someone let me know if this is for sure
the whole thing? It sounds clipped at the end.
:Super
Wild Horses - Golden Town:
First of all, I would just like to thank this band for going
with something snazzy like Super Wild Horses and not
anything lame like Horrses. The recent process of
adding an extra letter to something is stupid (I'm looking
at you Wavves, Suuns and Busses). Secondly, this is an
awesomely noisy track, and I want more. Fifteen
is due out August 24 on HoZac.
