Today's Quick Mention: It would appear
that Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu and Jonathan Meiburg
of Shearwater have teamed up for a new project
titled Blue Water White Death, and I would like to
hear what they've created. Send me a track if
you happen to have one tucked away somewhere!
I wouldn't say I've been anxiously waiting for
something new from Ra Ra Riot, but I did brighten up
a bit when I noticed a single from their upcoming LP
had found its way onto the interwebs. As
usual, give it a listen below and then make a note
to look for the The Orchard when the always
great Barsuk delivers it to store shelves everywhere
on August
24. Enjoy.

Ra Riot - Boy:
There isn't a single thing here that the world hasn't heard
from any good pop band over the last decade or so, but that
doesn't mean the song isn't gem. Because it is.
Not surprising, I suppose, since Ra Ra Riot are rather good
at doing this sort of thing. Expect a lot of
involuntary humming and foot tapping while you sit around
listening to this and hoping the rest of the album sounds
just as relaxed and fresh.
