    It took me a while to really hear Gimmee Fiction, but once I could, I loved it. I first heard their album Telephono (great album that seems to be forgotten by a lot of people) and their EP Soft Effects (amazing). I love the improvisational nature of this band's music. They throw in these random sounding riffs and they just fit perfectly. My Mathematical Mind is a perfect example of that.

    I'm listening to Everything Hits at Once right now. One of my favorite songs of theirs. Kind of a sad song, but still great.

    I love Britt Daniels's voice, still love I Turn My Camera On, still love I Summon You, Gimme Fiction is an excellent album, haven't bought any other albums of theirs but this post has reminded me, so next time I go to the record store I'm getting: Kinski, Fruit Bats, and Spoon.

    Well I just got Gimmie Fiction. It is the first album of theirs i have bought. Not thrilled by it immediatly but i'm not giving up. Perhaps it will grow on me.

    Get Girls Can Tell...it is a catchy album...Anything You Want and Everthing Hits At Once(Splifftastic I agree w/you on that one very sad, 'I go to sleep to think that you are next to me':() are my favorites.

    tsopotelba-Glad that you liked Gimme Fiction...it is a good album! have you picked up anything from them recently? and Britt's voice is VERY sexy!! :)

    I just bought tickets for the Spoon show in San Francisco on the 16th, my FIRST Spoon show EVER!! I never got to see them when I lived in Austin at all:( but this is going to make up for all the sold out/procrasinating shows I missed back home :D WOHOOOHOOHOO. I also burned Gimme Fiction/Soft Effects EP for VEDHEAD27, a converted Spoon fan! :)

    *starts playing "all the pretty girls go to the city" ;)

Love that album to pieces. This band definitely has that "certain special something"....the groove for damn sure! YES, amazing use of intruments..I agree Nadi. They're catchy, original, rockin, unique...just all around kick ass. I can't wait too see them NEXT MONTH for the first time. Wooohooo! :D

    RIGHT ON!!! :D

    That song is REALLY sexy and beautiful!! I Summon You, though,always gets to me, it is so poetic that it makes me want to cry each time I hear it.

    And Lydia, I am glad that you liked this band!! At least someone else in the East Bay Area, knows who Spoon is!!:)

    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
