Today's Quick Mention: I don't actually read
PC World, but I noticed via Digg that they had a
nice
article
on the fifth anniversary of YouTube's existence.
Kind of weird thinking about what we did for instant
visual entertainment before they came along.
Cymbals Eat Guitars landed the top spot on my album
list last year, so it's only natural for me to cover
whatever it is they have going on in 2010. Of
course, that's certainly made easier when they're
packing a re-recorded version of Wind Phoenix
(a track from Why There Are Mountains) and a
b-side that's an Elliott Smith cover. Expect to
see the single out on March 1. Enjoy.

Eat Guitars - Ballad Of Big Nothing (Elliott Smith Cover):
It's hard to make any changes to an Elliott Smith song
without having the introspective hipsters of the world shoot
you an angry glance, so I think it was smart of Cymbals Eat
Guitars to keep things simple here. In fact, all
you'll really catch that's different than the original is
the tone of the track, which is now a tad bit more warm and
confident. Good stuff.
