Today's Quick Mention: Holy crap!
So much to do this weekend. Land Of Talk and
Suuns are at the Parish tonight, tomorrow features
the
Austin Record
Convention and White Denim at
Antone's, and Sunday sees the return of Azure Ray.
Get out. Have fun.
Let's get this weekend started. Enjoy.

New Vikings - No Room To Live:
Since way back when I first heard this band I've wondered if
they would get louder or slowly tone down all of the
ear-blistering noise. And? Well, I'm not going
to say they've totally abandoned being anti-quiet, but this
is a fairly calm track that's "prettier" than I would have
ever guessed them capable of. This song is from a
currently tour-only 7".

Vaults - Forget Me Not:
And, here's one straight out of New Zealand. Doesn't
sound overly thrilling, I know, butt the track is very well
crafted and brimming with atmosphere, so grab some
headphones and then spend a chunk of quality time with it.
The Glass EP will be available on limited edition
vinyl come November 1, or you can totally download it for
free right now.
:Mujah
Messiah - Dear God (Featuring POS):
Religious discussion, a Monsters Of Folk sample, and there's
a verse from the one and only POS? Yeah, you can count
me in for that combination. Always. Seriously
though, this is an interesting piece of hip hop. Just
know you may need your patience cap for the first couple of
listens. M-16s is currently available on Black
Comers.
:Generationals
- Trust:
Finally! I've been meaning to check this band out for
about a year or so now, and their new EP is just the thing I
needed to get around to it. I'd say they live up to
the hype, and I'm eager to hear more of their endearing
indie pop ways. Park The Van will release the Trust
EP in the near future. Until then I'll be on the hunt
for their debut, Con Law.
:Seapony
- Dreaming:
First of all, I find this act to have an incredibly silly
name, but I dig it. Secondly, despite being exactly
like all of the fuzzy pop tracks that have come out from
everywhere in 2010, this catchy gem still manages to come
off as rather adorable and fresh. I blame the lyrics.
The Dreaming 7" is due out on November 15 and will be
limited to 300 copies. Snatch it up quick!
