Today's Quick Mention: And just like
that, I'm 27 years old! To be honest, I'm
really not much of a birthday celebrator, but if you
feel the need to champion my existence for the rest
of the day
then I'm totally cool with that. But, you
know, only if you really want to.
Because the internet cares, over the weekend it
delivered an early birthday present to me in the
form of a b-side from The Morning Benders. The
track, which was cut from their most recent album,
is a good one, so give it a listen and then be sure
to run out and pick up Big Echo. It is,
after all, a pretty great effort (even without the
number below). Enjoy.

Morning Benders - Go Grab A Stranger:
I love Big Echo, but it's so warm and expansive that
you have to make sure you're always paying attention or all
the tracks blend together. This though, is kind of
edgy and a bit more sonically aggressive, so I think it
could have provided the album a nice change of pace.
Oh well. The thing still works well as a whole, and
I'm at least happy to have an extra song from a band I've
come to love.
