Today's Quick Mention:  Lots of good shows tonight!  Les Savy Fav is set to rock the Mohawk for the venue's anniversary party, Colour Revolt and Colourmusic are playing Emo's, and Quiet Company is doing an acoustic set at ND.  Get out and see something.

For years and years I've been championing the instrumental ways of Russian Circles, and this fall it would seem as though they're totally high-fiving me for all the love by releasing a new full length and by having one of their only shows in 2011 be an appearance at FunFunFun Fest.  Thanks, fellas!  Empros is due out October 25 on Sargent House.  Enjoy.

:Russian Circles - Mladek:  Admittedly, this sounds like pretty much every other Russian Circles track - there are huge riffs and it constantly broods and swells.  Fortunately, that's far from being a bad thing since they're a band that doesn't exactly need to reinvent the wheel.  They just need them to keep chugging along and making music that, like this song, plays great with the volume too loud.
