ROB SEZ: Busy times at our house this week, so I wasn't sure I'd have a Tuesday post for you. Then, I remembered this share that from Don. Fans of Teenage Fanclub and Pernice Brothers, take note: Norman and Joe are leading lights of those better-known groups and formed The New Mendicants some years ago when they both lived in Toronto. They've released one album, an EP & at least 1 single.
