Next Tuesday we continue our series of We Own This Town Tuesday nights at Mercy Lounge. This upcoming Tuesday, 6/23, we’ll have Mean Tambourines, Cactus’s and Bad Cop. The show will be free and, if my estimations are correct, will rock your face off. Please let us know if you plan on attending and we’ll see you there.

Last week, after a twelve and a half hour work day, I ended up bailing on the St. Vincent show at Mercy Lounge due to exhaustion and lack of familiarity with her work. I made the mistake of twittering about this and loads of people replied to me that I was a fool for not sticking around to catch the brilliance of Annie Clark. Fortunately, Lake Fever Sessions put together this session earlier that afternoon so I’m able to experience what I was missing out on to some degree.

Following up on their most enjoyable debut, The French EP, The Champion and His Burning Flame have released Song & Film – their score to the independently released film The Time Closet. The majority of the album is instrumental in nature (it is a score after all) but the bands penchant for strings, handclaps and epic pop leanings makes for a compelling listen, even without having seen the movie it accompanies. Digital versions of the twenty tracks of goodness can be purchased on their official site for a mere $5. Worth every penny.
