Today's Quick Mention:  As many of you already know, Chaos In Tejas kicks off tonight.  If you're going, try not to die.  If you have no plans to attend, then you may want to consider heading over to Stubb's (inside) for Speak, Mother Falcon and Ruby Jane.

Devonte Hynes is someone I'd consider to be fairly hit or miss.  I liked what he did with Test Icicles, but there was something about his solo work as Lightspeed Champion that didn't do much for me.  Fortunately, his new project, which is titled Blood Orange, seems to have connected.  The Chris Taylor (of Grizzly Bear fame) produced single is out on Terrible now.  Enjoy.

:Blood Orange - Dinner:  This is such a trendy hipster track that I almost feel like I should throw on a scarf and some skinny jeans whenever I listen to it.  And yet, despite it's incessant nagging to make me dress in the most uncomfortable way possible, I still recognize it as one hell of a summer tune.  If I had the skills to dance to anything in a hot, packed packed club somewhere, this is the song I'd want to boom in the background.
