1. i LOVE spoon

"don't make me a target" is my favorite from that album.. though i love "my little japanese cigarette" case too.

when i first got the album a few months ago it was constantly playing whenever i was in my car.. awesome album.

6. I didn't know

the album had been out that long. It's great all around.

I was hoping they'd be playing somewhere in Texas while I'm down there but it doesn't look like it.

8. if i end up at UT Austin i'm going to be keeping a look out for them

awesome band

[Radical Activist]

10. and the Black Angels

That's one of my favorite austin bands anyway. there's still a great music scene there.

[Ava]

12. austin is a pretty awesome town

lots of great music. i loved it when we went there for the camp casey awards. that's when i decided i'd apply to UT austin.. and the school having a great film program didn't hurt ;)

13. I fell in love with the town for so many reasons

not the least of which was the national rollerderby championships. that's when I decided to apply there for grad school. haha

[Ava]

14. as a southerner, who both loves and hates the south, i love it

it has the southern hospitality feel to it that i love, but while being in a decent sized city with diversity and a weirdly cool atmosphere and population.

[Radical Activist]

16. There's nothing like

those liberal/cultural enclaves in the South. Austin might be the best of them. You get all the craziness, friendliness, and character of the South but with a left wing edge. I'd go to Asheville NC if they had a grad school there. :hippie: I really miss living in the South sometimes. :nopity:

[Ava]

17. don't forget new orleans

one of my favorite cities.. savannah, ga is awesome too. it's those artsy cities in the south that i love. then tend to be more open-minded and left leaning.. not to mention they have good music and art.

18. I've never been to svannah

funny that you're the second person to mention it to me this week.

[Ava]

19. it's a great city

we just named our new dog after it.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Yes, good stuff.

I love that song, and You Got Your Cherry Bomb. :D

[Ava]

3. and the underdog.. and rhthm & soul

so many good songs on that album

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. I know, the whole ablum is great.

:D

[Ava]

7. have you heard of the old ceremony?

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. Yes, I like.

:thumbsup:

[Radical Activist]

21. not bad

it got more interesting starting at about 3:40

[Radical Activist]

9. good one

i've always liked them but now i'm going to have to start buying their older albums too.

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. I haven't really listened to all of their older stuff.

But I'm obsessed with I Turn My Camera On.

23. It's an easy song to obsess over.

5. Oh... I thought you meant THIS spoon

[Dr. Strange]

11. So did I.

Who wants a cup of hot steaming justice?

22. Spoon kicks a lot of ass!

I have seen them perhaps ten times. Always a good show!

[Radical Activist]

24. a hearty spoonfull of ass, as it were.

they're on my list of bands to see. glad to know they're a good live act too.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Seeing Spoon often was a perk of living in Austin.

Oh, and for a while, Britt Daniel would be at every show I attended. He would always stand in front of me. He's TALL. x( It was a running joke for my friend and I.
