Today's Quick Mention: Tonight is
probably a good night to catch a movie or to find a
nice place to watch Monday Night Football, but if
you need some live music you could see Kevin Devine
and An Horse at Emo's.
Sounds for your Monday. Enjoy.

Says - Time To Reiterate:
A couple of years back this band had a raucous track titled
Ccut Up that made my year-end top song list.
This, if I'm honest, isn't as good, but it's still a fun,
dance-enthused listen that's worthy of however much time
you're willing to spend with it. The oddly titled
In A Fung Day T! is expected everywhere tomorrow via
Alien8.

Wires - Back On The Road:
Way back in April when I first shared something from this
band I left a note on the post saying that they were going
to start work on a full length soon. Well, I guess
that was sooner than I thought, because on Friday I got an
email with this catchy tune and news about an LP titled
Cheap Perfume being due out October 18 via Southpaw
Records. Way to get it done, fellas.

Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Cardinal Rules:
The guys behind SSLYBY are apparently a prolific bunch, and
to prove it they're putting out a 26-track album full of
stuff they've done in between and around their three
"official" LPs. This is upbeat number is my favorite
on Tape Club, but if you happen to not dig it then
know there's a large variety of other stuff on there that
you may like. Polyvinyl will release the disc on
October 18.

- She'd Like An Hour:
There's a chance this may be a bit too intricate for the
attention span that usually comes along with a Monday, but I
think you'll find this semi-whimsical track to be a good one
if you're willing to set aside five minutes and throw on
some headphones. The band's debut 7" is due out at
some point later this month on The Great Pop Supplement.
:The
Echo-Friendly - Boats:
I vaguely remember checking out some stuff from this band a
while back, but for some reason I didn't bite. So
what's changed? I don't have a clue. I just know
that that this driving pop song has been stuck in my head
all weekend, and that kind of thing is always worthy of a
mention. Same Mistakes is currently available
on Cantora Records.
