Not content to hide behind their shades (see above), those fellas in Spoon, the pride of Merge Records, are set to release a single/EP April 8, featuring their cover of The Natural History's "Don't You Evah." The track will appear on the EP as it did on last July's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, but the eight-song collection will also include the original version as performed by The Natural History. Additionally, the disc features a new Spoon song, "All I Got Is Me," as well as remixes by Diplo, DJ Amaze, Alan Astor, Ted Leo and Matthew Dear. The... read more

Say you've got yr. cherry bomb and you're just aching to show off your rhthm & soul. Perhaps you'd like to experience the live rendition of Paste's #29 album of 2007. Well, you're in luck, kind, literate friend. That is, if you're going to be in Chicago for New Year's Eve or if you happen to live in Australia, New Zealand, London or Portugal. Those utensil-monikered Texans are set to hit a few select road spots soon, so check out a show if you're so geographically inclined, and tell 'em Diplo sent you.

Found in: Music, NewsSpoon brings its rhthm & soul back to the States
Sometimes it's easy to take Spoon for granted. The band does everything with such polish and consistency that each new album arrives as an almost foregone conclusion. Yeah, it's going to contain two or three of the greatest songs released that year, it's going to be eminently listenable and all of the critics will bow down to it. But with so many of the band's contemporaries sputtering from album to album, Spoon's hitting streak seems all the more impressive. These guys are worth treasuring, even if they are masters of the sonic understatement. So for those out there who slept... read more

Found in: Music, NewsKeepon robot keeps on boogying to Spoon
Unlike flying cars and transmogrifiers, robot backup dancers are imminent. We can’t know who will be the first to utilize them on a grand scale (probably not Madonna, since robots look straight up foolish in mesh), but the technology is here, my friends. Spoon knows it, and is more than happy to be an early adopter – the band’s new video for “Don’t You Evah” features a bobbing Japanese Keepon robot, playing off an earlier clip of the Peepish, snowman-like toy-creature rocking out to “I Turn My Camera On.” Anyone with a fear of robots (how is there not an... read more

Spoon wil probbly tur forevah. Don't worry. Paste's illustrious copy editors haven't gone on strike. The misspellings are simply an homage to the band's new album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, which was released on Tuesday and features such orthographically-challenged song titles as "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb," "Don't you Evah," and "Rhthm & Soul." While Paste honors Spoon's album with cleverness (and a featured review), the band itself is celebrating by continuing to tour. A lot. Their upcoming dates are below, and they will doubtlessly cause you to experience "Finer Feelings." Yes, that was another song title from the... read more
