Today's Quick Mention: I know we already
plugged it twice this week, but don't forget to head down to
the Mohawk tonight for the Midgetmen's 10th
Anniversorry
Party.
It's going to be great. I promise.
These are the five songs I wished for at my birthday party
in the third grade. Enjoy.

Island - Asunder:
This is a nice Friday song. It's easily accessible,
and there's something about the anthem-like nature of the
whole thing that works well when it comes to putting
yourself in a proper mindset for the weekend. Maybe
we'll get lucky and the rest of their upcoming full length
will be this fun. Expect to be able to snatch up
Major on July 24 via Sargent House.

Mr - Hurricane:
I gave this one listen and then immediately had to consider
it to be one of the better tracks I've come across so far in
2012. I love the 90s pop slant that it has going for
it. And the chorus? Good luck on finding a way
to get it out of your head. I would like more music
from this act, so someone get on with making them give me
some.
:California
Wives - Marianne:
This band is
probably best described as cookie cutter indie pop, but that
has yet to deter me from liking them. I think it might
have something to do with how they always managing to fill
their sound with plenty of charm. The band just signed
to Vagrant Records, and they're currently working on their
debut full length.
:Yeasayer
- Henrietta:
Does the world still love Yeasayer? A year or so ago
they seemed to be all the rage, but now I hardly hear anyone
championing them. As for this track, it's a good one.
I don't know if it'll manage to get you all worked up about
the band again, but count on it at least pleasing your ears
for a bit. No word yet on if this is one-off effort or
the first single from a new full length.
:Tashaki
Miyaki - Hollywood Forever Cemetery (Father John Misty
Cover):
While it's debatable as to whether or not Father
John Misty has been around long enough to warrant someone
covering his material, I do think this is a pretty nifty
effort. In fact, I may even like it more than the
original. This is just a random tune, so grab it while
it's here in front of you.
