a friend of mine; who happens to be an even bigger musical snob than yours truly (as if this was even possible...) turned me onto an awesome awesome band out of Austin, Texas called Spoon. Now they haven't released any new material since 2001-2002's "Kill The Moonlight," I nevertheless delved into their back catalogue and was instantly hooked. Lead singer/guitarist and main Spoon-man Britt Daniels really has a knack for writing poppy, insanely melodic tracks wrapped in tight, rough packages. This guy really is the shit. I started listening to "Girls Can Tell," then moved on to "Kill The Moonlight," and ended with their first major release "A Series Of Sneaks." it was a staggered approach, but trust me the best way to get into them. if you're a fan of elvis costello, pavement, pixies, gang of four, nirvana, the anniversary, or guided by voices i HIGHLY recommend Spoon. You will fall in love with them.
