You know, I'm well aware of the fact that we're only three weeks in, but this NFL season is quickly becoming one of my favorites in recent years.  Each Sunday/Monday has really brought something different and, most importantly, been super exciting.  I hope you have all been watching!  Speaking of you crazy kids, it would appear that you're all slowly returning to me, which is nice.  So, to show my appreciation I'm sharing a new track from one of my favorite pop acts, the Spinto Band.  I honestly didn't even know they were working on new material, so hopefully this is as pleasant of a surprise for you as it was for me.  The new full length, Moonwink, is expected to hit store shelves on October 7 via Park The Van Records.  Enjoy.

:The Spinto Band - Pumpkins And Paisley:  2005 was quite a long time ago, so if the guys had decided to calm their sunny pop ways in favor of something else I have to admit that I wouldn't have been taken off guard in the least bit.  But, as if to plant a huge smile on just my face, it would seem that they decided to take things as far as they could using only the words: lush, upbeat and dreamy.  Maybe some will scoff at the crisp but quirky sound that resulted, but for my money I'm all in and anxious for more.

I wasn't even able to finish typing the band's name into Youtube before it auto-recommended the gem that is Oh Mandy, which I think certainly says something.  Be sure to check it out if you never have.
