Today's Quick Mention:  If you have a moment to spare, you should definitely check out Shearwater's new album, Animal Joy.  It's not physically out until Sub Pop releases it next week, but you can currently stream the entire thing over at NPR's First Listen.

I like Here We Go Magic.  I don't know if I'd say there's anything particularly special about them that keeps me coming back, but I appreciate how they're a really solid act that usually has something interesting going on.  Their new album, which is titled A Different Ship, is set to be released May 8 via Secretly Canadian.  Enjoy.

:Here We Go Magic - Make Up Your Mind:  It took me a few listens, but I finally settled on the fact that this isn't a catchy song.  It seems like it should be, as there's certainly an infectious rhythm to it.  However, it really is just an odd little number that isn't necessarily something you can expect to have stuck in your head as you stroll around town.  I can't wait to hear more.
