Pinback - Lyon

My friend bought me Pinback's debut self-titled CD because it has a song on it called Hurley. I didn't take the plastic off the thing for over a year. All that time I was really missing out on a great record. What a Loser! When I finally came across it in my CD collection, I was thinking about selling it at the used CD store. Thank goodness I stopped to give it a spin first. Pinback are obvious predecessors to bands like The Postal Service, another band I heart. A quick search of the Pinback website shows they've had a bunch of records come out since this one. Doh! Alright, I'm headed straight to the record store to undo my heinous lack of appreciation for such a really great band. Over and out.
