Today's Quick Mention: Don't be afraid
to get out and catch a show tonight. Gomez and
Hey Rosetta are playing Antones, and you can find
Paul Banks And The Carousels, Daniel Ellsworth And
The Great Lakes, and The Lovely Sparrows at the
Mohawk.
Tune time. Enjoy.

Science And Scott Thorough - 30 Lives (The Batsauce
Remix):
I've never heard the original version of this, so I
have no idea if Batsauce greatly altered it or just
did some enhancing. Either way, I really like
it, and I hope that you will too. Junk Science
deserves more fans. This remix doesn't have an
official home, so download and save while you can.

- You Think I Don't Know (But I Know):
This isn't a band that I've been a big follower of
in the past, but I can't deny that I really dig this
track. It's the sort of indie pop that infects
your head and refuses to leave until you promise to
buy the album. The band will release Basso
Profundo, which is their fourth full length, on
March 20 via themselves.
:Weird
Dreams - Little Girl:
In just an afternoon I went from not knowing that
this act existed to seeing them all over a slew of
major sites. Did I miss the boat? Or did
everyone else just decide to jump on the bandwagon
at the same time? In any case, this is a
really nice piece of pop, so I suppose I get why the
world is suddenly paying attention. The band
is set to release their debut, Choreography,
on April 2 via Tough Love.

Woods - Where Did You Go:
White Woods is the solo project of Julia Kugel, who
usually handles guitar and vocal duties for the
always catchy act known as the Coathangers.
This is roughly 100% less upbeat than what she
normally does, but I think you're going to really
like it. Grab headphones. Suicide
Squeeze will release the Where Did You Go
single later this year.
:Royal
Canoe - Hold On To The Metal:
This track has been sitting on my hard drive for
about a month how, and I have no idea why.
It's a pop number that's both refreshing and fun,
and I should have totally posted it up a long time
ago. Oh well. The band just released the
Extended Play EP. Grab it. Also,
make a note about how they'll also be playing SXSW.
