Spoon aren't the best indie rock band out there, but they might be the most consistent. Their last couple albums have all been classic stuff that classic bands are made of. And after having seen them four or five times now, I can say that the same goes for their live shows. Each one is [...]~~

This is an unknown Spoon song that was recorded at this summer's Pitchfork festival. I downloaded the bootleg a while back, but am just now getting to enjoy it again. I'm going to go ahead and call this one a new Spoon song rather than a cover because it sounds so Spoon-y. Known differently? Help [...]~~

Fans of consistently good music, rejoice! Since the release of their third album, Girls Can Tell, in 2001, Spoon have been on fire, releasing a string of well-crafted albums of minimalist indie rock with a lot of goofy song titles. And now, it looks like they'll be kicking off the next decade with another sure-to-be-great album called Transference, set for release on January 26. The full sco...

When I met Britt Daniel from Spoon after their show at the Cannery Ballroom, shook his hand and complimented his music, he looked me in the eyes and asked "Does it convey emotion?" "Well, yeah!" I answered. "Of course it does." And it got me to start thinking about what the core of music should consist of. Is it a good song with proper melody and intonation where all of the chords are per...

20. Spoon Kill the MoonlightFew bands have had the impact and the staying power that Spoon have had over the last 10-years. While many buzzed about bands fizzle out in an album or two, these Austin natives have consistently churned out solid records that have slowly gotten bigger over time. The band were never better than they were on their 2002 release Kill the Moonlight. Once again the band d...

You know a band is good when you're still listening to them on constant repeat even though it's been at least two weeks after you saw them in concert. Such is the case with Spoon.

Joxley joined us, yay! Excellent, thanks a bunch everyone again! The concept is quite simple: a group of people listen to the same song and give their opinion as if they were in the same room listening to the radio at the same time. Stein said a bus is a bus is a bus, some said it was post-modernism, others said it was unreadable. Duchamp's The Fountain is called art by some, nonsense by others...
