Today's Quick Mention: Feel free to come down
to the Palmer Events Center tomorrow night for a little TXRD
action. My wife's Rhinestone Cowgirls are playing the
Hellcats. Bout starts at 7pm. Tickets are $15.
I found all of today's songs using a star chart. Enjoy.
:The
Intelligence - They Found Me In The Back Of The Galaxy:
The Intelligence have always been a little hit or miss in my
world, but I can't deny that this is a pretty great song.
It's got a relaxed confidence about it that I really like,
and the lyrics are just snarky enough to not be overbearing.
Everybody's Got It Easy But Me is due out June 19 via
In The Red.
:Superhumanoids
- Too Young For Love:
Back in February this act had a song that I thought was
pretty solid. This one is better. I don't know
if it's the total shift to just having lady vocals, or if
it's the fact that it sounds like it could come from School
Of Seven Bells or Phantogram, but I can say for sure that I
really dig it. You'll be able to grab
Exhibitionists later this year.
:Megafauna
- Love Project:
SOTO's own Dan Corbin gave this local band a nice mention
last year, so I'm probably swiping a post out from under him
by posting this song. It's not my fault, though, as I
just couldn't wait to share it with you guys. Be sure
to slap on some headphones so that all of the nifty guitar
work in it can just go directly into your ears.
Megafauna just released the Eric Wofford-produced Love
Project EP for free on
Bandcamp.

Choir - Teletrips:
Kurt Feldman,
who you may know as the drummer for The Pains Of Being Pure
At Heart, is the main brain for this new act. He's
apparently been working on the debut LP for about a year
now, and I'd say it's been time well spent. I mean,
this thing is packed with a variety of ear-pleasing layers.
I can't wait to hear more. Afar is due July 31
via Underwater Peoples.
:Icona
Pop - I Love It:
If you're just looking for something that will help you
dance right into the weekend (and maybe into outer space),
then look no further. This seems to have been made out
of pure feet-moving energy, and you just have to admire that
it goes full out. Now excuse me, I need to catch my
breath. This appears to be a one-off single, but the
band does have an EP available.
