Austin, Texas, indie popsters Spoon first hit the scene in 1996, releasing their debut album on New York's venerable Matador Records. With a solid, melodic punk sound firmly in place, Spoon would go on to develop a bolder, more adventurous aesthetic, incorporating the musical stylings of such towering '60s bands as the Kinks and the Zombies. The band hopped labels during the late '90s and early 2000s while continuing to expand upon the smart, instantly catchy sound that has made them one of i...Read More >

It seems that putting a piece of the 1995 Hum song 'Stars' in a Cadillac commercial could be starting a trend of cool music in car ads. (Although, Grey's Anatomy star Kate Walsh deserves her share of credit for that one's success). Now Acura has a similar sexy, big city style ad featuring the 2005 Spoon song "My Mathematical Mind." Both great bands. It's nice to see artists like these getting paid. P.S. Long live Hum. Look them up.... MORE

6"...Robot Dance Video Evar!" I most certainly agree with BotJunkie. UPDATE : Video is still available here. This video was sponsored by WIRED after Keepon’s wildly successful (in Japan) music debut .... Sadly, you can’t buy Keepon, since he’s a research robot, but the designers are working on a similar bot called Roillo who should have similar capabilities and may become commercially available. I could blow off work all day watching this.... MORE

Here's to you Mr. Buzz Killington, douchebag extraordinaire (i.e. doorman) at the Metro Theater in Chicago.
Here's to you for seeing two brothers and their ladyfriends revelling, having a good time, not causing any trouble: only hoping to see Spoon rock out amidst a flurry of tickertape and the persistent breathy hum of a hundred noisemakers.
Here's to you for seeing their joy and tramping on it.
Here's to you for not agreeing to let us throw out our "outside b... MORE

2007... oh man. So many concert tickets. So many concerts. So many freebies.
The last free cd I received was an 'advanced' copy of In Rainbows from Filter.
The last concert I attended was also the first of 2008... depending on how you look at it. I rang in the New Year with Spoon! All thanks to email lists and UR Chicago! I found out the night after my holiday party, as my friend was trying to convince me to go to a concert in Dearborn, MI. I was telling her how I was goin... MORE

I've heard this when I'm getting ready for work almost every freckin' morning last. I finally found out who does them. Ladies and gentlemen, another dose of Intelligence: I swear, when I get to work on my first indie-rock mix later on this week, this song and the one on Chapter 27d [which I'll do after this] will _sooo_ be on it. It sucks that I hear good music only when I'm getting ready for work. It really, _really_ does. ~ 'Sunshine'... MORE

"Come let your socks fall down to your shoes". I just heard the podcast from the guys at Sound Opinions interviewing Spoon and what a fun interview it was. I love the lead singer's voice and the tambourine was terrific on the song Rhythm and Soul! Totally fun. Any song that sneaks the word "potholders" into it's lyrics has to be fun. Fun, fun, fun....
