oppressively solemn or sober in mood

Stereogum posted their list of Spoon albums from worst to best.

(Why the hell does Transference get such a bad rap? I know it’s not their best, but it sure as hell isn’t the second worst. I’m curious to know what everyone else’s opinion is about this.)

It’s not best to worst, It’s best to slightly less best.

While the list is understandable I’d put my own list as Ga^5, KtM, Sneaks, GF, Transference, GCT, a really huge gap, and Telephono

In Radiohead terms, Ga^5 = In Rainbows, KtM=Kid A, Sneaks=The Bends, GF=OK Computer, Transference=Hail to the Thief, GCT=Amnesiac, Telephono=Pablo Honey. Though this is my own subjective rating method

Spoon’s Kill The Moonlight Turns 10

This is hands down my favorite Spoon album. (And it’s my second favorite album of all time)

Sometimes I think Girls Can Tell might be my favorite, but I always go back to this one.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is my one true love but I usually tell people to listen to this first.

and so they’re saying Spoon is the anti-Animal Collective huh, that explains my unending disdain towards AnCo

SPOON LIVES

fuckyeahspoon:

In the midst of all this Divine Fits news I forgot to post this little tidbit I found on Monday from Austin360:

Spoon lives. Spoon frontman Britt Daniel debuts his new band, Divine Fits — which also includes Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs, and Sam Brown of New Bomb Turks — Wednesday at Beerland. From there, the group will kick off a tour in support of their new album, “A Thing Called Divine Fits.”

Spoon fans wondering about the fate of Daniel’s other band shouldn’t fret.

In addition to a series of benefit shows for former Austin Chronicle columnist/current Houston Press editor Chris Gray and a festival appearance in Spain this year, Daniel said he’s written a couple of new Spoon songs.

“Everybody wanted to go have fun and do some new things,” Daniel said of the band’s break. “Not that Spoon wasn’t fun, but we were on this schedule where we were recording or touring for 10 years. We wanted to get off of that treadmill a little bit.”

Daniel added that he enjoyed playing in Spain but lamented missing a set from fellow Austin performer Alejandro Escovedo.

“We played at the exact moment that Alejandro Escovedo played, which was such a bummer for me because he was the band I most wanted to see at the festival,” he said. “It was like when we played Fun Fun Fun Fest, the band I most wanted to see was the Damned, and we played at the exact same time.”
