I'd heard of the band
Spoon, but I didn't really know any of their music. So, on a whim, I bought their latest CD,
Transference about a month ago. After listening to it more than a few times through, I realized that I'd discovered a new band I like. I love it when that happens!
So, I read up on them them a little, and picked up two of their previous releases,
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and
Girls Can Tell.
So far, I like
Girls Can Tell best. Here are a couple of highlights:
Everything Hits at Once
Take a Walk
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga has some really good tunes on it as well, but it's just not as solid, overall. These are a couple of choice cuts:
The Underdog (If you've heard only one Spoon song, this is likely to be it.)
Rhythm & Soul
And here's two quality tracks from Transference:
Got Nuffin (The song ends at around 3:55. I have no idea why the clip runs out to 5:33.)
I Saw the Light
So, there's a Spoon sampler for you. If these songs appeal to you, I'd highly recommend rummaging around YouTube for more, and maybe picking up a CD or some mp3s. Definitely quality stuff from a quality band, IMO. I'm happy I found them.
