There's a certain segment of the "critics" here that think it sounds cool to bitch, like they know the first thing about the music they shit on.  They remind me of cranky old men who stare out their windows, missing all the mystery out there, just to watch the garbage men take their trash away.

Thank you ... I thought it was just me.

But they still totally SUCK!

Like Cake with rythym. I give them a 2, cause they're not quite as bad as Cake.

It's a little like a Cake song; or rather, what Cake would sound like if they were emotionally engaged with their material.

Whole album is great!

I've heard the whole CD; a few good tunes but overall not a keeper, IMO.
And yes, this song is very Clash-y.

We took this sound already. Stop. Find your own. Stop. -The Clash

The only well known band to come out of Sac that I know of is Tesla.  And hopefully we'll never hear anything from them here!

It's nice to hear a Spoon song that hasn't been played to death (and hey, I love Spoon) although this is not one of their better efforts

Is "Spoon" "Tubes" spelled backward? 

Hmmm.  Not quite.  But it kinda sounds that way. . . .

I saw them at the Mile High Music Fest this summer, and thought they were one of the better bands there.  It helped that they were playing on a smaller stage which made them more accessible.

I too was less than impressed when I attended their live show.  They seemed oddly lacking in passion... they executed the songs well enough, but seemed almost withdrawn.  Wasn't sure if it was just me, though.

I quite like their albums, but sadly, despite hailing from the Live Music Capital of the World, their shows kind of suck.

Not Cake?

i love spoon, but this does sound a bit like a slow clash toon without the edge

You can sometimes eat cake with a spoon-does that help?

...i've apparently confused cake with spoon for years, myself...

how do i differentiate my Cake from my Spoon?

This song is a tad bit reminiscent of The Clash...maybe it's that sharp downbeat of the guitar, like in Radio Clash.

this is one of my favorite albums...lots of great tunes.
