I normally try to keep my band crushes in check for the sake of objectivity and all that. But, today is not a normal day. No, I get to see my favorite band tonight. Spoon is playing it's final of three shows at the Fillmore tonight, and I plan to be there when they open the doors and will remain front and center for the duration of the evening.
