One of my personal most anticipated release of the upcoming new year is definitely Spoon 's " Transference ". We've talked a bit about the new Spoon record in the past, more exactly about the few Transference tracks that have already been played live on the band's last tour. It now seems people will get the chance to have a first hand account of the new Spoon sooner than one may think, as in the following months the band will be touring through out the U.S. and Europe in support of Transference, which, by the way, will [...]
Spoon has a new album coming out soon ( Transference ) and they've already started plotting out a path to support it. Here are the first tour dates of the tour and if you don't see your city on the list I'm sure you'll get hit on the second announce. No band only plays 11 dates to support an album. Spoon: 12-03 Kansas City, MO - Midland Theatre 12-04 Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre # 12-11 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom * 12-12 La [...]
Can't wait for the new Spoon record, Transference to come out. By the way, look for that January 26th via Merge in North America. You knew the tour dates were coming. Well, here they are kids. Not a load of...
Hitting the U.S. and Europe in coming months Spoon's next album, Transference, is due January 25 in Europe via Anti- and January 26 in North America via Merge. And in the coming months, lucky folks in the U.S. and Europe will get a chance to hear Spoon play some of these songs live. Spoon's catalog of spiky new wave jams is already pretty huge, and they've always been totally smooth and on-point onstage, so you're pretty much guaranteed a good night out if you hit up one of these shows. All dates are below. [...]
, it's only natural that Austin's most consistently awesome rockers Spoon should hit the road to bring the new songs to audiences in the States and abroad. The tour itinerary, at the moment, ...
Its a fine Friday here in Halifax, and if you are here, you are no doubt busy working out your weekend plans in order to take advantage of the lovely weather we seem to have on tap. Well let's see if we can assist with a quick rundown of some events of interest. I say some events, but really, we all know there's only one can't miss show this weekend: Rob Base at The Palace. I keed, but only slightly. If you know the Ack and I at all, you know very well that [...]
Photo: Autumn DeWilde Have you seen Spoon live? They're crisp, like say, a delicious pastry. They are absolutely not one of those bands who anyone could ever accuse of "studio magic" because their sets beautifully recreate these little jams they have come close to perfecting over the last decade of making indie rock. Well, they're doing it all over again with Transference this January 26, and surrounding that release date with some live shows. One date is even with Jay Reatard, which is sort of like an experiment on what happens when organized sound [...]

I will continue with the posts next Monday. I hope you enjoy. View 50-41 After the Jump… 50: Kings of Convenience - Riot on an Empty Street (2004) [...]

In the mid nineties the Junior Boys own label was at the peak of its powers, releasing music from Underworld, the Chemical Brothers and X-Press 2 and amongst this triumvirate of soon to be pop stars came some of the best underground techno & house music of the decade from the duo of Marvin Beaver and Justin Drake setting forth under the moniker Outsider. Fast forward almost a decade and a half and both Beaver and Drake look back on considerable successes under the banners of Dylan Rhymes and Peace Division respectively. However it seems for Beaver at least there [...]
With Spoon, Beach House, Interpol, Vampire Weekend, Four Tet, The Magnetic Fields, Hot Chip, and Rogue Wave (among plenty of others that I'm forgetting, surely) all slated to drop new records in early 2010, the new year looks like it will be starting off with a bang. At least for fans of independent music anyway. Of any of those though (besides Spoon), the upcoming release I'm most excited about is Shearwater's The Golden Archipelago . Reason being that Rook , their amazing 2008 album, made such a big [...]
You want the Pixies reunion tour? At-the Drive In is back together? Nix all that! I want The Get Up Kids back together, and fortunately for me, they temporarily are reunited, and for hundreds of fans in Austin, we got the chance to live in memory lane, at least for one glorious night. Mansions opened the evening, but the extensive line led to me missing their set, so I [...]

On Friday Thalia [...]
Welcome to day two of my favorite albums of the aughts. I should remind everyone that these are MY favorite albums of the past decade, which coincidentally means they might not be the same as yours. Compiling this list was an arduous task and honestly it could be different every single day depending on my mood. It just so happens that this is the final product of months of work and is what goes out on the internets for everyone to see. Anyways I hope you enjoy and maybe even stumble upon something you haven't heard in awhile. [...]
Since forming in 2007, the Monolith Music Festival has brought the likes of Spoon, The Flaming Lips, Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Justice, The Mars Volta, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Phoenix to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. However, as revealed in a open letter posted on the festival's website late last night (Nov. 19), the future of Monolith is now "very grim." The letter reads, "A tough economic year and an opening day of chilling rain combined to put a serious dent in our humble operation. We have continued [...]
Spoon | "The Underdog" | 2007 Perhaps it isn't surprising - or, isn't supposed to be - that the most fun song Spoon released this decade features uplifting Motown-esque horns. The lyrics, too, are notably upbeat with a concise message of not giving up, laying down in the face of difficulty or, most importantly, being (or becoming) social garnish. The song's lyrics are quotable ad infinitum, whether he's describing what perfection is to most people ("it can't all be wedding cake" and "it may not be photo op") or the desire to remove one's self from "the middle" [...]

Before CSI, there was Quincy, M.E. Up until now, I've never understood Spoon 's reason behind the naming of "Quincy Punk Episode", a great song which appears on the very underrated Series of Sneaks LP. Today I came across an article railing on the old TV show Quincy, M.E. and it's portrayal of punk in its infamous episode "Next Stop Nowhere." For those of you like me who are unfamiliar with the show, it's not too surprising. Originally aired in the mid '70s [...]
No shadow no stars no moon no cars November it only believes in a pile of dead leaves and a moon that's the color of bone No prayers for November to linger longer stick your spoon in the wall we'll slaughter them all November has tied me to an old dead tree get word to April to rescue me November's cold chain Made of wet boots and rain and shiny black ravens on chimney smoke lanes November seems odd you're my firing squad November With my hair slicked back with carrion shellac [...]
