Today's Quick Mention:  Be sure to come out to Emo's Jr. tonight for The Delta Mirror.  They put out one of my favorite albums this year, and I think it's going to be a great show.  Doors are at 9pm.  Tix are $10.  One Hundred Flowers and Candi And The Strangers will open.

Dead Confederate seemed to win everyone over last year, but I'll gladly admit that I didn't "get" them.  Every track I came across just sounded like bad southern alt-rock.  However, as usual, to make me change my mind a band only needs a bit of time and one great new single.  Good work, fellas!  Sugar is due out today, and DC is at the Mohawk on Saturday.  Enjoy.

:Dead Confederate - Run From The Gun:  "I got let down gently/I never even knew the end was on the way"  Not only does this have a few fantastic lines strewn about, but it sounds (in a good way, of course) like a haunting version of early Oasis.  In other words, expect to feel a strange need to listen to Wonderwall and talk on the phone about all the drama in your life.
