Today's Quick Mention:  The Dead Weather have let it slip that they're planning to release a new album later this year.  Honestly, I'm OK with that (the debut was solid), but I'm beginning to seriously feel the need to not have a Jack White-lead project around for a long while.  You with me?
 
As if they knew I needed a little help getting through the week, Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings are back with a new single!  Do yourself a favor and give it good listen (or 50).  Also, be sure to make a note that the upcoming I Learned The Hard Way LP will be released to the masses on April 6 via the one and only Daptone Records.  You'll definitely want to pick it up.  Enjoy.

:Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings - I Learned The Hard Way:  I've always thought of Sharon and Co. as having an accessible sound, but this is actually a step up from that.  Will it net them an even bigger following?  Maybe, as it does have a more modern bent to it and it's not as if the love that Amy Winehouse garnered has actually been followed up by anything.  Either way though, it's awesome to see this force still racing along and being fantastic.
