Today's Quick Mention:  Later I'll be shifting out of the way in order to let Leah present another monthly Hip Hop Hooray mix, so I'm going to go ahead now and recommend that you try to see Waters open for Nada Surf at La Zona Rosa tomorrow night.  They're a fantastic act.

While it greatly saddens me that there isn't an Austin date on their upcoming tour, I am rather thrilled about the return of Why?, who have long been one of my favorite acts.  On August 14 they plan to put out the Sod In The Seed EP via Anticon/City Slang, and then later in the fall there will be a full length (it will get a title eventually, I assume).  Enjoy.

:Why? - Sod In The Seed:  This track immediately slapped a big smile on my face.  I prefer it when they lean more towards the experimental hip hop side of things, and that's what Sod In The Seed delivers.  This, of course, isn't to say I don't like their more traditional tunes, I just think Yoni Wolf is at his best when he's setup to deliver a steady stream of one-liners from his crazy brain.
