Today's Quick Mention: Don't forget
that the the Budos Band will be bringing their
glorious soul sound to the Mohawk this Saturday,
August 21. Tickets are only $10! Unless,
of course, you can warp right past the door guy and
into the venue. Then it's totally free.
5 songs. All for you. Enjoy.

Bob-omb - We Are Sex Bob-omb:
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is pretty much on its way
to bombing (it only made a shade over 10 million in its
opening weekend), but I absolutely loved the movie and, in
particular, the music that populated it. So, listen to
this noisy rock anthem and then transport your ass from the
couch at home to a seat in a theater. Immediately!
The soundtrack to the movie is available now, and it is
rather awesome.

Green - Worship You:
Perky. I don't exactly know why, but when I listen to
this fuzzy piece of pop that's the word that immediately
starts to bounce around in my head. I think it might
have something to do with the upbeat nature of the track.
Anyhow, Colleen is super indie and too cool for us all, so
she has a cassette out. Feel free join me in waiting
for a release that's remotely practical.

Andrews - Kangaroo:
Here's an artist you probably don't realize you've heard
before. He currently has a very catchy tune called
You Always Make Me Smile that's featured in a Holiday
Inn commercial. So where's that particular track?
On the new Kangaroo EP. I, however, think this
one is a little more infectious. If you want something
sugary sweet then be sure to pick up the effort on August 31
via Elephant Lady Records.

Ostrich - Mary:
If five songs aren't enough and you'd prefer to start your
week off with a ton of free music then look no
further than this band. They have all kinds of stuff
(including a Morgan Freeman-themed EP) for you to download
over at their
Bandcamp page, and it's all just as lo-fi
as this hazy track. Just remember to take your
headphones and a chunk of time with you.

Summers - Pogo:
It's entirely possible that I've just been missing the
point, but until this track came along I didn't quite
understand what all the blogs of the world saw in this act.
Actually, I'm not even sure I fully "get" it now. I
just know that this garage rock gem is as fun and catchy as
it gets. Silver, which is the band's debut full
length, is due September 28 on Kanine Records.
