Subject: Just heard this on the radio for the first time...

One thing that's great about now vs. the 80's is being able to take a few of the lyrics from a song you just heard, figure out the name and then be able to listen to it on YouTube. Ahhh, instant gratification.  Never heard of this band back then...

I don't know Spoons.  Good song.  The youtube link has links to other songs by the band.  Not bad.............

Ah Spoons, a band I grew up listening to.  For those who don't know of them, you have good reason as they were from Canada and didn't really attain success anywhere else (atleast not to my knowledge).  'Nova Heart' was the 100th best selling single in Canada of 1982

Here's their hits ...

1982 - Nova Heart
1982 - Arias and Symphonies
1983 - Smiling in Winter
1983 - Old Emotions
1984 - Tell No Lies
1985 - Romantic Traffic

Despite not reaching the Top 40, 'Romantic Traffic' remains (to many) their most recognizable hit
