Yesterday, we told you (twice, actually) about the adrenaline-laden aggression-fest that will be at the Electric Factory tonight. But maybe you've had a great week—the Phillies won, the weather has been fantastic, and all is generally right with the world. So you're not really feeling Rise Against and Alkaline Trio. We can understand that.

When Wincing the Night Away dropped last month, we lamented its winter release date. From the initial notes of the opening track, we knew it was the album of our Spring. By rights we should've been unwrapping the plastic casing joyfully and popping it into our CD player while the sun was out and our windows were open enough to let the warm air in. Whether it's the ukulele on "Australia" or the shake-your-ass bass line of "Sealegs," this album was made for that drive from our best friend's house to the nearest sidewalk cafe serving martinis on a Saturday afternoon. After playing it a few times, we saw the bright side: listening to it made us feel like the last vestiges of winter had disappeared.

No, this isn’t a post about The Shins. Though we are loving that new album like a fat kid loves cake. This post is actually about coining a new phrase.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, we'll be posting events that are going on sale during the current week. This Tuesday post only collects the early announcements, so definitely check back on Thursday for the latest ticket news.
