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.

Remember last week when we told you that today would be We Own This Town Tuesday over at the Mercy Lounge? Yea, I thought you might have forgotten.. so I’m here to remind you. Glossary, And The Relatives and Millionaire Magicians will bring some serious goodness to your ears tonight. Please attend.

Items worthy of note:

• Bonnaroo is over. You can finally breathe easy now knowing that every 2nd article / tweet / update you encounter online won’t be about the festival. The Cream’s coverage was worth a read if you haven’t taken it in already. Sean Maloney is an excitable guy but he’s going nothing on Kingsbury.
• Keegan DeWitt will be re-releasing Islands internationally via Izumi Records. To tide fans over until the full scale release in September he’s releasing an EP entitled Wild Heart which will be available at shows. You can snag the title track here.
• If you missed Andrew Bird at Grimey’s you can still experience it via the goodness of YouTube. Watch it here.
• Tomorrow is the second We Own This Town Tuesday at Mercy Lounge. Rest up and prepare to attend. No excuses.
