When Tam and I go to concerts, there’s always at least one song that the DJ plays that we know but can’t figure out where from. Sometimes one of us will remember and blurt it out, but we usually have to give up so as to not drive ourselves insane. Earlier this week, I listened to The Spinto Band’s Nice And Nicely Done for the first time in months. I got that album not long after it came out but, as much as I enjoy it, I’ve only listened to it a few times. I kind of forgot I had it. So I was pretty surprised to find that at least half of those songs that Tam and I puzzle over are Spinto Band songs! I didn’t realize exactly how many great, catchy songs they’ve got on there. This is one I definitely knew without having any idea who sang it and, as my punishment for being so ignorant, I’ve had it stuck in my head on and off all week.
