Today's Quick Mention: Don't forget
that tonight I'm joining a little discussion about
blogging/writing at the Parish for
Music Movie
Monday. It starts at 7:30pm
and is free, so come by and say hello.
Now, let's get sort of crazy. Enjoy.
:Real
Estate - Green Aisles:
While I tend to prefer this band when they're aiming for
something a bit more catchy than this, I do really like this
track. It's as well crafted as anything you'll come
across today, which makes it a joy to listen to.
Domino will put out the anticipated Days on October
18. If I'm lucky there will be a tour date set for
Austin before the end of the year (or SXSW).

- Fleeced:
I liked most of this act's debut, Kids Aflame, but at
the of day I thought it need something else to keep me
coming back for more. Maybe that whatever will be
there on the new LP. They're certainly off to a good
start with this slick number. Summer Skills is
the name of their sophomore full length, and it is set to be
self released on November 8.
:Radiation
City - The Color Of Industry:
The press release says Radiation City has put together a 60s
girl group inspired effort, and that's all the info I need
to get me interested in it. Granted, this rather neat
sounding single also helped my interest level quite a bit.
The Hands That Take You is the name of their debut,
and it's due out tomorrow via Tender Loving Empire.
:Peggy
Sue - Cut My Teeth:
I missed this band's debut, so I before I hit play I looked
at the name and assumed it would be some sort of alt-country
sounding stuff. It isn't. In fact, it's more 90s
alt-rock than anything, which means I was what could be
described as "way off." Oh well. Do yourself a
favor and play this as loud as you can. Yep Rock will
release Acrobats on October 25.
:Saskatchewan
- Skinny Dipping:
Normally, I take a good hour or two over the weekend to
browse other sites to see what I missed. However, on
Sunday I had about 5 minutes, which somehow still worked out
because I was able to stumble across this well-layered gem.
Victory! The Skinny Dipping 7" features two
tracks is currently available via
Bandcamp for just a buck.
