new spoon, pot!

i love it. i always get nervous when a new spoon album is released because it's so hard to believe that they won't start slipping at some point. thankfully my worries are always put to rest. the new album is superb.

JJ - I've only heard "Got Nuffin'" from the new record, but I liked it A LOT. I'll run out and get it now.

NOTE- for some reason, forum code doesn't like that url. Just copy and paste it.

Listen to the band that Spoon are named after, Can, who had a song called "Spoon".

Oh right. I thought you meant a spoon spoon!

I've heard them mentioned once I think.

Just checking the new album out here

http://www.spoontheband.com/

and it is quite a funky album.

Cheers for the heads up on that! I am now a Spoon fan.

They remind me a bit of Barbie Bangkok, who have probably been influenced by them, the vocals are quite similar.

Do all their albums sound like this? I like the funky bass lines.

all their albums are great. they've always been focused on rhythm, so i don't think you'll be disappointed, pot.

Recommend another Spoon album to me. Quick! I'm going to buy some tunes this evening on iTunes for a chance of being the 10 billionth downloader and winning 10K's worth of free music, and the counter is fast approaching the magic number! Albums with 10 songs on them preferably so that I can buy each tune individually, every ten or 20 seconds as the counter goes over 10B...

I guess not. No-one knows yet, waiting for an announcement about it. The clock seemed to jump from 9,950,543,543 to 10B so might have missed the slot.

to recommend another spoon album, "girls can tell" seems to me to have the most in common with the new album. you would be doing yourself a world of good to pick up Girls Can Tell, Kill The Moonlight, Gimme Fiction, and/or GaGaGaGaGa.

Too late. I went for a selection of 'must-haves' that were missing from my iTunes library. Spoon will have to wait until I get a job, or until I find I've won.
