Today's Quick Mention:  Later this afternoon I'm going to plop down in a theater and watch Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.  Will it be good?  I honestly have no idea, as the trailers really haven't given me much to go on at all so far.  Look for a breakdown tomorrow.

Not only is 2012 delivering a new Fiona Apple album, but Cat Power (Chan Marshall) is also set to make a return.  Both lady dudes have been out of the spotlight for years, and now here they are re-entering it at pretty much the same time.  Coincidence?  Probably.  Anyhow, Matador will put out the rather simply titled Sun on September 4.  Enjoy.

:Cat Power - Ruin:  I really liked The Greatest, but I have to admit I'm pretty happy to see that Chan decided to not go back to that particular sound.  The energy that this track carries is infectious, and I think the upbeat nature of it is a great fit for her.  It may even help bring in a new crop of fans.  Here's hoping there's a lot more of the same on the upcoming full length.
