Today's Quick Mention:  Do me a favor and give the comments section some attention this week.  Haloscan, the FREE service that I very happily used to manage comments with, is now an unknown PAID contraption called Echo, and I need to know if it's worth sticking with before my trial period expires.  Thanks!

This is going to be an insanely busy week for me, so today I'm purposely starting it off with an upbeat number to try and trick my brain into thinking everything's going to be easy breezy.  Or something.  In any case, the track below is from a boy/girl duo who call themselves Slow Club., and you're probably going to want Yeah, So when Moshi Moshi releases the LP on March 3.  Enjoy.

:Slow Club - Giving Up On Love:  It's way too early to start thinking about what may or may not make my year-end song list, but given how amazingly attached I've become to this gem I have no choice but to at least make a mental note.  I mean, it just doesn't get more infectious than this when you're talking retro-pop.  By the way, just so you know, this is pretty much the only song on the album that sounds like this.  The rest are somewhat like She And Him ... if they weren't so concerned with being cute.
