Spoon Update

First off, the new album is terrific. Standout tracks so far seem to be "My Mathematical Mind", "Sister Jack", and "I Summon You", but they don't stand out too much, because the rest is so damn good.

But anyway, they're on Morning Becomes Eclectic right now from KCRW in Santa Monica. Same deal as the other live shows. A short set, a little interview, and a closing set. A good introduction to Spoon if you haven't heard much from them. The link to the audio and video will be live on the MBE page for a while (meaning a few weeks). Then it will be archived.

Setlist:
  • The Beast and Dragon Adored
  • The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine
  • I Summon You
  • Sister Jack
  • Break for Interview
  • Utilitarian
  • Everything Hits at Once
  • Someone, Something
  • My Mathematical Mind
If you're like me and listen to this stuff at work, it's a good site to peruse and check out some live performances of bands you might like while having it play in the background. Of course, you can do this at home, too. Or wherever else you damn well please. Who am I to judge what you do in your spare time?

They've archived a ton of performances. Personal favorites are performances by the Dandy Warhols, Doves (who will be appearing soon), the Beta Band, Ivy, the Arcade Fire, and well, so many more than I can't list them all. That's what the search feature is for.
