Today's Quick Mention:  If you don't have any plans today then you should consider heading down to Waterloo Records at 4pm for a free performance from Spoon.  My guess is that they'll mostly play new tunes, which will be fun since their upcoming LP is one of the more anticipated releases of 2010.

Lara Meyerratken has been around for almost a decade working as a freelance musician
(her list of associates includes: Ben Lee, Luna, Nada Surf, Crooked Fingers, Dar Williams, Luscious Jackson and more), so I suppose it was only a matter of time before she decided to do her own thing.  Look for the self titled debut album from El May on store shelves now.  Enjoy.

:El May - Don't You:  While I love as many claps, whistles and trendy guitar riffs as I can get in my indie pop, I do have a great appreciation for tracks like this that are comfortable with being ... well, comfortable.  Now, if only the weather would stay great long enough for me to find a porch, something to prop my feet up on and copy of El May's album to play in the background.
