Weekend Edition #1

Even though I went to bed rather early last night, I still woke up late. Must mean my body is ready for the weekend. I'll be at the Starry Plough tonight (flyer above), then at a wedding on Saturday, and possibly viewing the new X-Files film on Sunday. Next week, I shall return with more news on the many exciting developments happening at N&UR.
***Head over to Pressed For Sound to download "Two Ways Out," the fantastic new single from LA's Darker My Love. The harmonies on the chorus remind me of the Byrds, while the atmosphere created by the song is reminiscent of the Stone Roses. The band's latest, 2, drops on August 5 from Dangerbird Records (a nice birthday present for me!) That night, Darker My Love play the Independent in San Francisco (a Bagel Radio sponsored show), before returning to LA to play the Troubadour on August 7.
