I think I'm in the perfect mood right now to appreciate The Champion Heartache's debut full-length. They specialize in subdued, melancholic rock with a touch of alt-country, and that goes along perfectly on a brisk fall day on which I'm feeling a little under the weather (no thanks to you, Cold-FX!). Frontman Matt Holtby has a pleasantly scratchy voice, and on songs like "Dirty Mind" and "Emergency" he uses it to quietly perfect effect. Things occasionally get a little louder, but as "Porch Light" demonstrates, it's still an understated kind of loud. I'm not sure where you can pick up the album, since the band doesn't have a link anywhere on their Myspace page, but if you can figure it out, you should most definitely grab a copy. In this neck of the woods, at least, fall doesn't last for too long, but it's nice that while it lasts, The Champion Heartache have created an ideal soundtrack for the season.

EMI will whore out its back catalog to U.K. label Tu Clothing, which will in turn emblazon its activewear with lyrics from EMI artists past and present. Finally, my chance to get the words to Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" on a non-airbrushed t-shirt. [Billboard]

ARTIST: The Fireman (a.k.a. Paul McCartney)
TITLE: "Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight"
WEB DEBUT: Oct. 6, 2008

ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: The first single from Paul McCartney's forthcoming album under the guise of The Fireman got some ink for airing out Heather Mills' dirty laundry, but it should get even more ink for being a scorching rocker that sounds more like a lost Led Zeppelin b-side. It's almost as if being freed from his ex-wife and Starbucks' failed record label at the same time freed McCartney in some way; he sounds pretty liberated here, ready to take on anyone who's intimated that he'll be the last Beatle to kick the bucket for cosmic "best to worst"-related reasons. If the rest of Electric Arguements is this, er, argumentative, I may be able to forgive him for "Freedom." (Maybe.)
