Today's Quick Mention: It would appear that
Frightened Rabbit's upcoming The Winter Of Mixed
Drinks is streaming in its entirety over at the
band's
Myspace
page. Check it out! Personally, I'll be
waiting until I can fully convince myself to not
expect another Midnight Organ Fight.
The LP is physically due March 9.
Posting inspirational tracks that have been remixed
as the official song of the World Cup isn't usually
what we do around here (or ever, actually), but
today's a new day. Or whatever. In any
case, K'naan impressed greatly when I saw him at an
Austin City Limits taping last year and
Troubadour is a fantastic listen, so I think
it's time I showed some love. Enjoy.

- Wavin' Flag (The Celebration Mix):
Aside from a handful of lyrical changes, the main difference
here is the music, which has been infused with such a
refreshing feeling that the song is now something I didn't
think was even possible - it's more uplifting.
Unfortunately, I think that means there's a good chance
you're dead on the inside if at least a small part of you
doesn't find this appealing. Sorry.
