Today the internet welcomes the first proper recording from Wild Flag, the Sleater-Kinney/Quasi/Minders supergroup featuring self-aware Pacific Northwest advocate Carrie Brownstein, Mary Timony, Janet Weiss and Rebecca Cole. It starts off at summer camp, asks you to listen to the music to the music before it passes you by if you don't lose it you're [...]
Spoon at Music Hall Of Williamsburg, from the HAD Archive You may recall that last month we brought up Spoon 's demo for "Is Love Forever?" that the band was giving away for free on their website. You may also have noticed that the mp3 conspicuously labeled it "version 2" of the demo. Well, guess what? Version 1 has been put out for the world to hear. Given how straight-ahead the last version was, this [...]
On Feb. 2, Spoons had the opportunity to talk with North Carolina duo Eddy B and Tim Gunter . The debut mixtape from the rapper and producer is "Dear North Carolina, Welcome Back." Afterhours Interview with Eddy B and Tim Gunter Share and Enjoy:
A Take Away Show by Spoon Spoon recently performed a Take Away Show for La Blogotheque , playing "The Ghost of You Lingers," "Got Nuffin," and "Black Like Me." You can watch the two former songs in the video above. I really love the setting - the amazing French record store La Phonogalerie . The sepia tones of aged cover art and the ancient record players and gramophones make for a very intimate and eerie experience. Head over to La Blogotheque for the other video and downloadable Mp3s [...]
![[mp3] Spoon - "Is Love Forever" (demo 1) February Bonus Track](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3243860_lg.jpg)
New Bonus Track from Spoon The month of January brought us a very familiar demo version of "Is Love Forever". However, February's bonus track is quite possibly the strangest Spoon song I've ever heard. Again, it's a demo of "Is Love Forever", yet it sounds nothing like the gem heard on Transference . I find this oddity quite appealing, and I look forward to Spoon's never-ending generosity in hopes of hearing more demos like this one. Hear it for yourself. MP3: [...]

Have you ever felt that most songs were just too darn long? Do you find yourself pressing the skip button every two minutes or so? Are you easily bored by long drawn out ballads that seem to go on and on? Well this playlist is tailor made for you! With every song clocking in under 120 seconds the Short Attention Span Playlist is guaranteed to satisfy even the most antsy of listeners. So sit back, enjoy and don't worry, if you don't like a song it'll be over before you know it.
Tape Tuesdays will be a biweekly feature on Sunset in the Rearview. I will be compiling a new playlist every other week, with a new theme each time. My advice: stream the music on MixPod, listen to the songs, and if you're a fan, put them together on your computer or iPod as a playlist. My shorter playlists are always better than the longer ones because they seem to have a consistent flow; larger playlists tend to get overpacked and diluted. Every tape will be short enough to fit on a single CD, so if you [...]
Os Spoon gravaram para a La Blogothèque um episódio do The Take-Away Shows , onde os artista realizam a sua performance num locar inusitado e inesperado. Vejam os vídeos abaixo. ESPECTACULAR! ;-) The Ghost of You Lingers / Got Nuffin Black Like Me
Thanks to everyone who has commented on and shared the link to that White Stripes post I made yesterday. I'm happy it created some dialog, and I'm even happier it wasn't perceived as being a take-down piece slamming the band for sucking. I don't think the White Stripes suck, I just don't see why it's big news they have called it quits. It's hard to be moved by a band quitting when you don't quite understand their appeal. Yesterday's post and its responses have inspired me. What bands other than the White Stripes have achieved great notoriety while [...]
La última excursión a Francia de la banda de Austin, Texas, fue la excusa para que el reconocido blog realizara uno de sus Take Away Shows , donde llevan a los músicos a interpretar sus composiciones en lugares poco convencionales. En uno de los videos podemos ver a Spoon tocando en un gran shop/emporio musical, plagado de fonógrafos y vinilos (algunos son usados como batería), que bien podría ser la perdición de cualquier melómano. En esa atmósfera [...]
Spoon stopped by Paris to perform effective versions of "Black Like Me" & "The Ghost Of You Lingers"/"Got Nuffin" for a La Blogatheque Take Away Show . As you can expect, these are great to watch. "Black Like Me" is one of my favorite Spoon songs of all time, and they really do it justice here. Watch both videos below: Black Like Me: Spoon | Black Like Me | A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo . The Ghost [...]
Spoon stopped by La Blogotheque for a Take Away Show. The idea of capturing an impromptu performance in an antique phonograph shoppe sounds like a novel idea and easy. But nobody captures live music like La Blogotheque. You can watch both videos below from Spoon's Take Away Show performance. Spoon-the Ghost of You Lingers (Blogotheque Version) [mp3] Spoon | Black Like Me | A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo . [...]
It's no secret that we love us some Spoon around these parts, so when we discovered that the band had visited the awesome folks at Blogotheque and delivered takes on three of their awesome tunes, we were more than a little stoked. By more than a little, of course, we mean completely, because these tracks are totally killer. The set included "The Ghost Of You Lingers", "Black Like Me", and "Got Nuffin", and all three manage to be wonderfully awesome alternate takes that feel like they have just the [...]
Hands down my favorite track from Spoon's consistently surprising Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga gets a gorgeous Take Away Show treatment complete with phonographs and Spoon's singular brilliance.
Nothing better than a Take Away Show is there? Unless you count things like curing AID's or Cancer. But aside from things like that there probably isn't anything better than a Take Away Show.
Watch 'Black Like Me' below. Enjoy their clip for 'Nobody Gets Me But You' here. Click here to view the embedded video. Click here to view the embedded video. MP3: Spoon - Don't You Evah (Diplo Mix)
Polyvinyl So I've had to check myself a couple times from taking a, " Shugo Tokumaro 's music is so weird and wonderful, it must be because he's Japanese!" angle on this writeup. Because even though it's not incorrect - Tokumaru IS Japanese and sings entirely in Japanese and many things that come out of Japan are weird and wonderful to Western sensibilities - it's too reductive and doesn't give Tokumaru enough credit for what he's done with his music. His latest album, Port Entropy is the second of [...]
Last year, Spoon and Joanna Newsom (among others) received heaps of praise for albums that—at least when compared to their previous work—were pedestrian, uninspiring, and, well, boring. Meanwhile, Broken Social Scene released yet another masterpiece, Forgiveness Rock Record . How this band isn't on the tip of everyone's tongue, I'll never understand. Perhaps I could write their lack of overwhelming success of to being Canadian, but who isn't (or doesn't want to be) these days. SS is, however, convinced that the under-appreciation of [...]
