  Photo by Gary IsaacsRounding out this week's batch of new music in MP3 Freeloader, is the lovely and talented Elin Palmer, who is premiering her brand new John Rumley directed video for the song "Balloons" tonight at the hi-dive. Figuring that you'll have ample opportunity to hear that song at the club tonight, we've opted to post another track from her forthcoming disc, which is being overseeing by Bob Ferbache at his Absinthe Studios. We're absolutely smitten with the track "Whaleboat Undrunk.

It was true. As it was, the order was Houses, Ian Cooke, and lastly Elin Palmer. And in terms of content, the night couldn't have been much better.

• Westword Music Showcase: We're here, are you?

  Aaron Thackeray It's 2:27. Do you know where your favorite band is? Chances are they're here, in the Golden Triangle, blowing the doors back of the boozed up and sun-drenched crowds that are bouncing from venue to venue, bar to bar, soaking up a shit-ton of local music. Chain Gang of 1974 (pictured) kicked off the day on the main stage, at 12th and Acoma, and the party continues through Built to Spill later tonight. So get your ass down here.
