[rockaction]

Post anything relevant about Spoon here.

Anything. No BS. They're better than the Dead.

Thanks.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Really enjoy their work. Big fan.

 

[Fiddles]

for me they peaked early and have been very inconsistent since girls can tell

girls and sneaks are where its at

you cannot #### with fitted shirt

 

[Ilov80s]

They are ok.

 

[tommyGunZ]

Good band. Not even in the same universe as the Grateful Dead.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Good band. Not even in the same universe as the Grateful Dead.

And thank goodness for that because that universe sucks

 

[rockaction]

Long time ago, but this deserves a bump. I've been listening to their latest from 2015 and it's a good one.

Watched their Austin City Limits performance a few weeks ago which is one of my Favorite ACLs.

Also have seen them live twice. Something about Britt's stage presence that is just pure effortlessness. Great frontman IMO

Yeah, he's amazing live. He actually watched a girl go by in New Haven, CT, and said to the guy, "oooh -- she likes you."

Or at least I like to think that happened. 

Thanks for the link. Been listening to them all weekend. 

Memorial Day is always Dillinger Four

Labor Day is Spoon.

[Peyton Marino]

not one of their more well known joints, but i'm a big fan of this* one.

*you already know what it's going to be, but you're going to click it anyway

 

[The General]

Gimme Fiction is a great album.

I Summon You

Oh, no. You didn't.  

 

[MaxThreshold]

Who?

 

[rockaction]

Spoon is a band out of Texas and residing in Portland right now. I would Google it, as it would take a long time to explain, and I'm sort of not in an explanatory mood right now, though I'm in a good one. 

Google Spoon the band.  Listen to Girls Can Tell, Kill The Moonlight, Gimme Fiction, and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Reap rewards and benefits.  

 

[Northern Voice]

Best band.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I'm a fan.  Seen them a few times, always a great show.

 

[UniAlias]

Best band.

I'm a fan.  Seen them a few times, always a great show.

Knew I'd find you fellas in here.

 

[Northern Voice]

Knew I'd find you fellas in here.

Like moth to a flame... apparently.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

One of my favorite bands. Every album is very good to great. 

I've seen them live at least 8 times and they always deliver. A buddy and I were having a drink before one of their shows and Britt Daniel sat down and drank a beer with us. Really nice guy. 

 

[eoMMan]

When that wax ecstatic song came out, whoa nelly....I played that one a lot. 

 

[eoMMan]

Oh, I'm thinking of Sponge....nevermind.

 

[Hov34]

Wait, what year is this?

 

[El Floppo]

Every album is very good to great. 

I really like them, and yet it's not a band that I find myself continuously listening to... not sure why. 

 

[Abraham]

Some guy in the band has a kid who is friends with my niece.  

That's all I've got.

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

Like all their stuff but their earliest stuff is my favorite I think.  A Series of Sneaks is money. 

 

[wikkidpissah]

Where do you go to spoon a band?......What?!.....oh, that's different......never mind.

 

[skol asylum]

I prefer sporks. Much more versatile.

 

[wilked]

They are no 21 Pilots

 

[rockaction]

New album coming. Sounds awesome. Going to see them in Santa Ana in a week.

 

[rockaction]

New York Kiss

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I like that Underdog song

 

[Ilov80s]

RA and I usually agree on music but this is a spot where we disagree. I don't get the love for this band.

Neither did my friend who used to write music criticism for the local free/not free paper. He didn't like their minimalism. You're not alone, though most people love them. 

I love it.

I love it.  

It's one of those things where so many people like them (many with great taste) that I have to just let it go and assume I'm the one missing something. I also love the Eagles so I guess maybe I have a crossed wire somewhere.

I just love Spoon viscerally, for some reason. They hit me right. It's not even consensus picking. I just dig them.  That's why I get when people don't. Spoon has to have a moment with you. Pull you aside, as it were. Then you get all of their decisions. But if you don't let them pull you aside for a moment, I can totally see it.  

I, too, like The Eagles and get the Eagles hate yet also love them.  Des-per-ado

 

[rockaction]

On a Spoon binge right now.

Front page and Dr. Octopus got me thinking that they're up there in the pantheon of American bands. Their quality of output mixed with their meaningful longevity gots to put them there.

Girls Can Tell is a supreme effort.

For all those that love them, i charge you with this mission -- put together a 90 minute cassette tape of their best, should you dare. 45 minute sides.
