r/SpoonTheBand

I'm not one to start threads on Reddit, but I am going to be that person who has found a band that they only knew by a few songs and is now wondering why I waited so long to let all the albums hit my ear holes. So here I am.

I knew only a few singles, the ones you'd expect, and about a week and half ago, I decided to start into the discography and it's been a treat to say the least. I started with the EP, then into the full albums, and I am through They Want My Soul (though because the remaster, I am getting Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga out of order, boo Apple Music).

If anything has really struck me so far, it's how they can change their sound while keeping me hooked. The progression is noticeable among most albums, but each one still hits my ears with me wanting more of it and not more of the last one. Certainly, I still like all of the last ones, but often times with bands, a new album will be something that just makes me want to stop and go back, not see what is behind the next tracks or the next album. Not at all the case here, I just want to keep opening doors.

Maybe there isn't much point to this thread, but here I am anyway, a new fan of Spoon (y'all probably have a fun name for that), who is very happy to have finally stumbled on them. (I'm not a kid either, I definitely should've done this sooner).

heyo,

long story short im a huge spoon fan with this year being the one i finally went through pretty all of their discography.

then i come to find out from a post here, can't remember which one, that they've played 2 unreleased songs live in the past couple of years (title). I've only found one video on youtube for each, but I was wondering if anyone else had another recording, perhaps even clearer / higher fidelity audio.

While Disorder is pretty cool, Love Right To Your Door is SO GOOD man that song hooked me in from the start.

I have no idea what bootlegging was like back in the day, but it honestly feels so cool to be searching for something like this. i'm obsessesed with the music of this band, it is perfect for me.

Anybody have an inkling what, if anything, the band has planned for the fall? They have one lonely tour date on the books, Oct. 9 at a festival in Memphis. Seems strange to get the whole machine together for just one show. Then again, maybe not? Work on the new album must be near the end, but a release before the end of the year seems iffy given lead times, etc. Wonder what Britt and co. have in mind.

Y’all know Spoon loves a good cover. What song do you consider a good contender? For me it’s “I wanna be adored” by the Stone Roses 😍 serious “Change my Life” vibes on that one.

As much as I’d prefer to see a tour with Spoon headlining again, I think a tour of them with Beck would be fucking killer.

What do you want to see?
