Today's Quick Mention:  I get to see The Avengers tonight.  I'm really excited.  Anyone been lucky enough to catch it yet?  I've heard nothing but great things.

Tunes assemble!  Enjoy.


:Ty Segall Band - Wave Goodbye:  I'm really beginning to think there won't be a moment in 2012 without something that doesn't have Ty Segall's name attached to it.  The guy is everywhere these days.  Anyhow, this fuzzy scorcher of a track can be found on Slaughterhouse, which is due out June 26 via In The Red.  You'll be able to catch the band on May 25 at the Mohawk.

:Donora - And Then The Girls:  I actually had to salvage Donora's info from my deleted items after I stumbled across this single on another site and realized that I had made a mistake in not lining it up to be shared.  Hooray redemption!  Hope you're ready for some sugary sweet pop.  Boyfriends, Girlfriends is currently available for your consumption.

:Fiona Apple - Every Single Night:  To be honest, it took a sizeable handful of playthroughs for me to actually listen to this once.  It's such a quiet, subdued effort that I kept not paying any sort of attention to it while it played.  With that being said, I do like the song.  I advise headphones, solitude, and no distractions.  The Idler Wheel is due out June 19 via Epic.

:Action Bronson - A Simple Man:  Up until this weekend I had never really paid much attention to Action Bronson.  His stuff just didn't seem like my kind of stuff.  Or something.  In any case, I really dig this overly chilled track.  Feel free to recommend some other cuts for me to check out.  I believe this is a one-off single, so grab it while it rests in front of you.

:Todd Tobias - Manatoc Enters The City - The Long Fall:  If Todd Tobias is a name that sounds familiar, it's probably because the guy has produced Guided By Voices and frequently collaborated with Robert Pollard.  He's good, and so is this oddly paced, swirling number.  You can expect to be able to snatch up Medicine Show on May 24 via Hidden Shoal.
