Today's Quick Mention: Hope this
doesn't scare you off, but from now until 3/29 this
site will be entirely SXSW-related. Previews,
reviews, pictures, video - we'll have it all
(there will even be a mini-break).
You should come back and check some (or all) of it
out. It'll be fun. I promise.
Not only did I miss the boat on some good music from
Mimicking Birds last year, but I also whiffed on all
the cool stuff they had going on ... like being
handpicked for glory by Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock,
who took them on tour and produced their debut.
Awesome, right? The Portland-based trio's self
titled album can be had now on Brock's Glacial Pace
Recordings. Enjoy.

Birds - Burning Stars:
"I'll keep an eye on you if you keep one on me" I
listened to this a couple of times before actually reading
the press release that came with it, so I was sort of under
the impression that it was an Isaac Brock side project.
That's how similar the famed Modest Mouse frontman and
singer/songwriter Nate Lacey sound (to me, anyway).
Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It just sort
of made me chuckle since the band's name has the word
"mimicking" in it. Anyhow, this is good. Trust
me.
