Some weeks, there are simply too many nifty music tidbits to fit in our li’l weekly music column, Soundbites. And sometimes, said nifty tidbits just come in way past deadline. (Friday, people. Friday.)
In any event, to fill the void and keep you up to date on all the news that didn’t fit for print — or came in late … FRIDAY, DAMMIT!— here’s a quickie extra edition of Soundbites.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME
The July 3 party at Speaking Volumes has become something of an Independence Day-ish tradition in Burlington. And with good reason. Now entering its sixth year, the annual bash behind the eclectic secondhand shop on Pine Street is a great off-the-beaten-path alternative to the madddening throngs along Waterfront Park and other locales around the Queen City, and a cool spot to catch the imitation bombs bursting in air.
Also, the party routinely features some great local musical talent, with this year no exception. Rocking for freedom this time around are danceable Afro-pop outfit the Move It Move It, vowel-challenged EDM duo Principal Dean & Snakefoot Are FRNDS, spacey apparitional popsters Parmaga and — always a crowd pleaser — “special guests.”

Is this the new Soundbites blog you mentioned in your column a months ago?
And I just reread the article where you clearly mention that you’ll be chiming in on the blurts, so please ignore my question. I’ve apparently answered it for myself.
