    Anyone here like this band from Austin, TX?

    I think they are fabulous!! I haven't seen them live yet, missed them several times especially when I lived in Austin.:( But I hear they put on an AWESOME show!!

    I love To Kill the Moonlight, such a great album. I love it how Britt Daniels incorporate a lot of instruments into his songs. And their new single, off of Gimme Friction, I Turn My Camera On, is one hell of a sexy ASS song :D makes me want to dance!

    any thoughts on this great band, SPOON?

  • wow... top notch shit i gotta say. these guys have just the right amount of meat shoved in their dancin' pants... i guess i always thought they were a real wimpy group playing standard indie rock, but these guys have some serious backbone and live they absolutely killed. fuckin LOVED it.

    YEA!! I am glad that you liked the show...you see, looks can be deciviing!!;) I have seen their previous Austin City Limits performance from 2003, and man, they can rock!! They had a preview of Anything You Want on the Austin City Limits website. :)

    I can't wait to see them FINALLY after years of finding out about them when I worked as a dj at KTSW 89.9...Wed is SO going to kick SO much ass. I have been listening to ALL their albums..I am so ready to get some SPOON!!! :D:D I know VEDHEAD27 (who I converted as a SPOON fan) and I will enjoy the show in the city! Maybe I should represent Texas, my home state, by wearing my KTSW shirt :D

    My favorite song at the moment, certainly sums up a long-distance/failed relationship, in my opinion.

    From "Girls Can Tell":



    ~EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE~

    DON’T SAY A WORD
    THE LAST ONE’S STILL STINGING
    BACK A MY MIND
    I FEEL THAT PHONE RINGING
    AND THERE IS NO WAY BACK FROM THIS

    EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE
    WHAT WE NEEDS IS JUST WHAT WE WANTS
    I GO TO SLEEP BUT THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME
    I GO TO SLEEP AND THINK YOU’RE NEXT TO ME

    DON’T MAKE A MOVE
    WHEN I WALK OUT DON’T FOLLOW ME
    OUT IN THE CAR
    CAN FEEL IT CALLING ME
    AND OOH YOU’RE SO FAR AWAY

    BUT I CAN STILL CHANGE MY MIND TONIGHT
    I GOTTA CHANGE MY MIND SOMEHOW
    I GO TO SLEEP ALONE BUT THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME
    EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE TONIGHT
    OUTSIDE IS ALL LIT UP WITH AD LIGHTS
    IN TRAFFIC WE BECOME ON THE WAY BACK HOME
    PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JUST ON OUR OWN

    I GOTTA CHANGE MY MIND TONIGHT
    I CAN STILL CHANGE MY MIND TONIGHT
    MERGING IN TRAFFIC CROSS THE LANES AND THEN WE BECOME
    SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JUST ANY ONE
    OH AND EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE
    WHAT WE NEEDS IS JUST WHAT WE WANTS
    I GO TO SLEEP AND THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME
    I GO TO SLEEP AND THINK THAT YOU’RE NEXT TO ME

    Oooooo I can't wait Nadi! :D In just a few days we will be experiencing SPOON live! Wooohooo. Yep, I am SO glad you exposed me to this kick ass band. I've been listening to GIMME FRICTION all day! Wow! Such amazing sounds going on on this album...and I just LOVE the variety from one song to the next. This band really brings it on so many different levels but they always keep that catchy, original groove. They really do just keep getting better and better too. I just loooooove the vocals so much!!! You're right, he does have a sexy voice. ;) The first song on here tripped me out, The Beast and Dragon, Adored...SUCH a heavy Beatles vibe. Looooove it! :)


    This band has "got it". Can't wait for the show! Time to get funk-ay! :D



    P.s. haha...yeah you should wear your Texas shirt for the boys! Maybe I'll wear mine too. :eek: :p

    BUMP for SPOON!! :D

    and OMG, they SO kicked ASS in San Francisco last Wed. night!! They started off with "The Beast and Dragon Adore' from Gimmie Fiction then played a song off of every single album they did (except for eps)

    Here is a list of some of the songs they played, I just don't know the whole setlist though:(

    -lines in the suit
    -30 Gallon Tank
    -Someone Something
    -Jonathan Fisk
    -Vittorio E
    -Something to Look Forward to
    -Paper Tiger
    -Take A Walk
    -Small Stakes

    I forgot what else, but damn, there were some Texans representing at the show, which kicked ASS!! I SO want a boot of this show and Britt Daniel is a real showman ship...he was rockin' and going crazy on stage, playing with his guitar and getting a lot of feedback!!

    I was surprised to hear 'I Turn My Camera On' during a Jaguar commercial. I personally could care less, it was just an eyebrow raiser.
  • BIGBIGLOVE for spoon here

    me and a mate covered I summon you at a show not too long ago, but it was just the two of us, so he played acoustic, i sang and played Tambourine :cool:

    some great lyrics (beast and dragon adored):

    When you don't feel it, it shows, they tear out your soul
    and when you believe, they call it rocknroll
  • I don't know Spoon very well, yet 'The Way We Get By' is one of my favourite songs. I really should check 'em out.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.

    yeah I know, I was in shocked when I first heard that. I LOVED that song b/f it was on the stupid commerical. :/

    you guys should check out Live105 interview w/Britt Daniel. he talks about coming to SF to play:)

    Gimmie Fiction got me hooked on them, I love Kill The Moonlight and the Telephono/Soft Effects double pack was pretty good too. I need Girls Can Tell.
  • I have to say that I thought Spoon was a bit boring live. I'm not a very big fan though, so I'm not the best person to ask.
    Jimmy Carter has disco fever.
  • MeddleDealMeddleDeal Posts: 2,547
    Girls Can Tell is such a GREAT album! It is my favorite album by them. It is catchy and very lyrical! I HIGHLY recommend that album! :D

  • Good band. Boring live. A bit arrogant.

    It happens.
