Today's Quick Mention: I assume you
crazy kids won't be rushing out to see Santana
tonight, so instead you should consider catching
Deleted Scenes, Royal Forest, and Haunted Amps at
the Mohawk. Shows starts at 10pm. Tix
are a super cheap $6.
Music for your Monday. Enjoy.
:Pujol
- Mayday:
Despite the fact that he's on the verge of releasing what's
supposedly his 10th effort in two years, I'm not overly
familiar with the act known as Pujol. How the hell did
that happen, right? At any rate, this sloppy,
relentless cut is off the Nasty, Brutish, And Short
EP, which is expected to see the light of day on October 18
via Saddle Creek.
:Forest
Fire - Mtns Are Mtns:
This arrived in my inbox late on Friday, and even though I
was filled with a touch of doom because of their currently
relevant-to-Central-Texas name, I really dug their
Walkmen-esque sound. One day I'd love to catch this
live, as I'm sure it makes for a passionate performance.
FatCat will physically release Staring At The X on
October 18.
:Pree
- Lemon Tree:
Once upon a time Pree delivered one of my favorite tracks of
the year. And now? Well, I don't have a clue as
to whether or not this will have a place on my year-end song
list, but it is a really good effort worthy of your
attention. Pree recently signed to Paper Garden
Records, and on October 18 they'll release Folly.
Someone do me a favor and have the band make a stop in
Austin soon.
:Fionn
Regan - 100 Acres of Sycamore:
At one point I really liked this guy, and then I just sort
of lost track of what he was up to. Shame on me.
Maybe I'll do some backtracking after I give his recently
released LP a good listen or two. This rather great
track (grab headphones, by the way) is from 100 Acres Of
Sycamore, which is available via Heavenly
Recordings/Cooperative Music.
:Fujiya
And Miyagi - Chichikov:
Somewhere along the way this duo apparently decided to put
together a track for people to jam out to while running.
I don't know where this excerpt factors in during the 37
minute effort, but it works as standalone, and I think it
sounds pretty cool. Different Blades From The Same
Pair Of Scissors is out now via Strange Tongues.
