Today's Quick Mention:  If you're not catching The Avengers for a second or third time tonight, I hope that you made plans to attend to the sold out Tennis and Vacationer show that's set to go down at the Parish.  I think it's going to be a really good one.

I know there's some sort of Passion Pit backlash that's been going on since they graduated from blogs to the Rolling Stone, but I think they're a pretty solid act.  They've had some rather nice singles, and now they have a new full length that seems to be heading in a neat direction.  Gossamer is due out July 24 via Columbia.  Enjoy.

:Passion Pit - Take A Walk:  I think this is a nice number, but know going in that there really isn't a strong hook and the lyrics are sort of silly.  On the bright side, though, there's an infectious amount of energy in it, and I especially love that it doesn't feature an inordinate amount of falsetto vocals.  It gives me some hope that the new LP won't just be more of the same from them.
