Today's Quick Mention:  If you want to get out and see something tonight then I recommend Equals at Emo's or the Pons with Black Books and Dark Water Hymnal at Scott Inn. Wiretree is also doing an in-store at Waterloo Records if you'd like to get some early show-going in.

Ryan Adams is one of those artists that I have a hard time keeping a consistent opinion on.  Sometimes I think he's great, and other times I feel a bit burnout on him.  Guess we'll see which side I fall on when I get my hands on the new full length.  Adam's own PAX-AM (with some help from Capitol) will release Ashes And Fire on October 11.  Enjoy.

:Ryan Adams - Lucky Now:  While I liked this track on the first listen, it took me a bit to get over the fact that it's nothing more than a really nice, pleasant effort.  I think that's because a part of me was expecting Adams to strike out with a song that's more upbeat and demanding of attention, and that's just not what this is.  So, before you hit play, grab some headphones and a comfortable corner somewhere.
