Today's Quick Mention: It could probably wait until the news update,
but I'd like to go ahead and note the death of Zelda Rubinstein. The
actress did some super great character work in movies like Teen Witch,
Sixteen Candles and Poltergeist, and she seemed like an
all-around awesome person. R.I.P. Zelda.
As you probably don't recall, way back in August I mentioned a buzz band by
the name of The Splinters. Well, all these months later the lady
quartet is still generating some excitement, and I'm still very much on the
bandwagon. Look for their debut Kick to be released by Double
Negative Records on March 9, which is conveniently right before they storm
Austin for SXSW. Enjoy.
:The
Splinters - Mysterious:
"Oh you're so mysterious/Should make me furious/Instead I
just get curious" With a furious pace and a runtime
that comes in at just a smudge under two minutes, you'll
probably listen to this garage pop gem about 40 times in a
row before you realize what's happened. That's
certainly not a terrible thing. I just want you to
know it's coming for you.
