Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas with a wide following of fans of both underground music and popular music. The band is led by Britt Daniel (vocals, guitar); Jim Eno (drums); Rob Pope (bass) and Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals).
Why I love them - Spoon brings a unique indie style to their music that I find undeniable. Spoon is definitely one of my favorite ipod bands - bands that I love to walk around campus to. My favorites are the albums Gimme Fiction, Kill the Moonlight, and GaGaGaGaGa. wnick87

after hearing this many times i started to like it—-the music especially; yes, it's very derivative and maybe the lyrics too confessional; but on Allen Ginsberg's b'day we can have confessional.
LOVE IT!!! Smooth obnoxious derivative with a TWIST i.e. original, abrasive: perfect coda for RP for old farts like Bill and me who lived the heyday of KLRB and all that great diverse early 80's stuff all smished up next to each other....
Anybody else hear "25 or 6 to 4" as it starts out?
Heh... the opening track on Chicago IX - the very first album I ever bought for myself, age 12, at the original Tower Records, here in Sacramento, no less. I can hear that riff now that you mention it. Thanks for the memories. (And trash-talk Terry Kath only at your peril...)
Anybody else hear "25 or 6 to 4" as it starts out? Hmmm, I imagine many Spooners would not have a clue what that question means, but perhaps some of y'all who were around when the whole world was watching.
I was hoping to live the rest of my life without even a vague reminder of that.
After this comment, you made three more. So much for nuffin to say.
Busted! It's a fair cop, I am guilty as charged. There's nuffin I can do except shuffle off into the darkness and shadows with my tail between my legs.....
This song is the first song in a looong time that moves me on so many levels... Love that they employed Eggleston for the cover and Freud for influence. love. love. love.
Hmmm... you may have something there, very interesting. I think the opening of 'Got Nuffin' also sounds a bit like 'We Got the Beat' by the Go-Go's ...?

When I’m with you all my brothers oooh I feel like a king It feels like I’m dreaming When that blood goes rattling through my veins My ears start to ring I notice what matters And I got nothing to lose but Darkness and shadows Got nothing to lose but Bitterness and patterns When I can’t find the way to reach you my love I’m just not the same Just the same When I know you’re watching out for me I know what I’m knowing I can see what matters And I got nothing to lose but Darkness and shadows Got nothing to lose but Emptiness and hang-ups Oh, when I know you’re watching out for me I look for what matters And I notice what matters And I got nothing to lose but Darkness and shadows Got nothing to lose but Loneliness and patterns
