Today's Quick Mention: I know the White
Stripes hadn't exactly done anything in a long time,
but I think I really liked the idea that they'd
randomly go on a mini-tour or put out an EP. Now,
that's all
gone. Oh
well. Perhaps I can use it as an excuse to
make an awesome White Stripes mix.
Because it wouldn't be right to only have the Vivian
Girls come out with a new album in early 2011, the
Dum Dum Girls have arranged an EP for the
fuzzy-music-loving part of your brain. Below is
the first single, so take a listen and then prep
yourself for March 1, which is when Sub Pop will
place He Gets Me High on store shelves
everywhere. Enjoy.
:Dum
Dum Girls - He Gets Me High:
Before I hit play I couldn't decide whether I wanted the Dum
Dum Girls to come back with more fuzz or to clean up their
sound a bit like the Vivian Girls did on their new single.
And? Well, I still don't have a clue what I prefer,
but I do know this retro-pop gem has the right amount of
everything. If you haven't already, you should really
get used to hearing this band's name.
