Today's Quick Mention:  I only managed to go 10-6 in my NFL game picks this week, but my fantasy football team emerged victorious and I got to be in Arlington to see the Dallas Cowboys get their first official win in that incredible new stadium.  Not bad, yeah?

It wasn't but a couple of weeks ago that I shared the first single from Thao Nguyen And The Get Down Stay Down's new full length, but this morning I awoke to another track, and since it sounds so completely different I decided to post it up.  Know Better, Learn Faster is due out via Kill Rocks Stars on October 13.  It will be awesome.  Enjoy.

:Thao Nguyen And The Get Down Stay Down - When We Swam:  The band had told me to expect part of Know Better, Learn Faster to have some hip hop-esque moments, and this finally shows that off a bit.  Honestly, I've heard quite a few new songs live and, of course, the aforementioned track from just the other week, so I really don't know if the band goes this direction often on the new album.  Hopefully, they do, because this just about the most infectious thing I've heard all year.
