Today's Quick Mention: If you do
anything tonight you should head over to the Swan
Dive for the Long Tangles' CD release party. Elaine
Greer, Hello Caller, and Girl Dreams are also
playing. Doors are at 9pm. Tickets are only $6.
First 50 in get a copy of the
SOTO-approvedFiner Things!
Tennis keep trying to move on from being a band I
like to one that I love, but for whatever reason my
brain has yet to be convinced to think about them in
that way. Perhaps this will change when their new
full length arrives. The Black Keys' Patrick Carney
produced Young And Old, and it's set be
released on February 14 via Fat Possum. An
Origins 7" is also due out soon. Enjoy.

- Origins: This is a great track. I was hoping that Tennis
would follow up Cape Dory with a different sound, and
this is certainly a new style for them. Granted, it's
not a wild change of pace, but this pop gem has none of the
lo-fi haze that I've come to expect from the band, and that
alone breathes new life into them. I can't wait to
hear the rest of Young And Old.
