Today's Quick Mention:  I love Pluckers Trivia.  Last night the team I'm on managed to continue its streak of finishing in the Top 5, which is good, but I'd really like to finish in first at least once.  On a related note, our name this week was What did the five fingers say to the face? Rihanna!.  Hilarious.  And wrong.

Seriously, has 2009 not had some killer stuff so far?  I mean, I haven't even really been listening to full albums because of so many great singles (probably why the SOTO family has shared 116 tracks in only 37 posts).  Crazy.  Anyhow, below is another one.  It's from the the Thermals, who have a new LP called Now We Can See coming out on Kill Rock Stars in April.  Enjoy.

:The Thermals -  Now We Can See:  "Now we can see the warnings and the signs/Read in between the lines/Like writing on the wall"  We may all be in the comforting downward slope portion of the week, but I think you'll agree that an infectious piece of power-pop like this can only make things better - as it will forcibly put a skip in your step.  On the other hand, there's a good chance you might just end up being distracted (and perhaps content?) with the fact that an act from Portland, Oregon managed to not sound, for lack of a better a word, down.
