Today's Quick Mention: Yesterday a friend of
mine asked for my thoughts on an up and coming
service he's working with called
Superglued.
I think it's actually pretty cool (essentially, you
can share live experiences with a community of local
show-goers), but I'd like to know what you think.
So take a look and tell me.
I was curious to
see how Japandroids would go about following up the
success of their debut ... and apparently it's by
continuing to live off of it. Normally, that
would make me shake my head in disappointment, but
they're actually doing it in a nifty way and putting
out five different 7" singles (the first is due
April 13), each with b-side
from Post-Nothing and a cover. I like
it. Enjoy.

- Art Czars:
"I'm really sorry if you thought this feeling/Was the fire
keeping your heart beating" I could never seem to get
past the "like" stage with Post-Nothing, but
this song really makes me want to go back and re-evaluate
that opinion. Coincidently, it also makes me feel the
need to revisit a slew of rock albums from the 90s, but
that's probably just a natural thing that happens when you
listen to Japandroids.
By the way, the other song on this 7" is a cover Big Black's
Racer X, and you can check it out in the video below.
