Today's Quick Mention:  The weekend is almost here, so why not get it started early with a little live music tonight.  I recommend Holy Ghost! at the Parish, Followed By Static at Trailer Space, or the KOOP Benefit that's going down at Cheer Up Charlies.

Damien Jurado has been churning out quality stuff since before I was even in high school, so when news of a new album arrives I make sure to pay attention immediately.  Below you'll find the first single off of Maraqopa, which is the name of the upcoming Richard Swift-produced effort.  It's due out February 2 via Secretly Canadian.  Enjoy.

:Damien Jurado - Nothing Is The News:  Before you do anything, grab a nice pair of headphones.  This very well crafted track is heavy on the atmosphere, and you will need to have every bit of it swirling around in your head to fully appreciate it.  You may also want to grab a stiff drink and a comfy seat, as there will be a need to leave it on repeat for a while.
