TAN! on Stereogum! Canada on Allmusic! Exclamation points everywhere!

I guess it's kind of a big day for Michigan bands on the interwebs.

Example one: the almighty Stereogum featured the new video for "We Win (Ha Ha)" by Thunderbirds Are Now!.
They've got the mp3 of the song too! Apparently the Javelins invasion of TAN! continues, as Julian is playing bass for them in the video. I'm still not totally sold on the Thunderbirds, so I'm hoping they win me over at their CD release at The Magic Stick this Saturday (Anathallo and The Hard Lessons need not be concerned, obvs).

Example two: Canada was in the allmusic.com new release newsletter
It's been available for a while, but today was the official in-store-day-of-release for This Cursed House, and so I was surprised and pleased to see a thumbnail of the cover in my cluttered inbox along with Fergie, Lupe Fiasco and Ben Kweller. Cool beans, Canadians!
