Today's Quick Mention:  It's Tuesday, but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun.  Chairlift, Nite Jewel, and Bell are playing the Mohawk tonight, and I'm sure it's going to be a good one.  Be there!  Tix are just $12.  Doors are expected to open at 6:30pm.

The Mystery Jets have returned.  I've long found the band to be a high quality act, but there's also a part of me that will always consider them to be somewhat of a guilty pleasure.  I blame all their sweet pop sensibilities.  Radlands, which was actually largely recorded here in Austin, is due out on April 30 via Rough Trade.  Enjoy.

:Mystery Jets - Someone Purer:  I think that listening to this song (and watching the video below) will clue you in as to why I find the band to be a guilty pleasure - the lyrics are cheesy, and there's something about the presentation that plays out a little too dramatic.  Still, I've been humming this track since I heard it, and that's mostly all that matters in my world.
