Today's Quick Mention:  Even though the Arctic Monkeys are playing Stubb's tonight, I think it's too damn hot to go to a show.  Instead you should consider hitting up the Alamo Drafthouse for a viewing of Attack The Block.  Noah and I both loved it.

Getting new music from Frightened Rabbit used to be a big deal to me, but their last album, Winter Of Mixed Drinks, failed to leave any sort of impression and I took them off my "acts to always be excited about" list.  Now, they're back with some new stuff via a tour-only EP, and one of the tracks has managed to make me want to high five them again.  Hear it below.  Enjoy.

:Frightened Rabbit - Fuck This Place (Featuring Traceyanne From Camera Obscura):  I think part of the reason I didn't much care for FR's last album was because it felt forced.  Fortunately, this track sounds as effortless as the material that filled their first couple of releases, and it's honestly great to have that band back.  Let's hope there's more stuff like this on the EP and in the near future.
