    I chucked the "This Is Spoon" playlist on Spotify a while ago after having The Underdog stuck in my head. After going for a search I had exactly this reaction - "I've heard this! I know this!" to at least half a dozen songs.
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

      Spoon are loose swagger while simultaneously being tight AF, they're awkward cool, brimming self-confidence without an excess of ego. Professional competence in the best possible way. I'd say stylistically that they have been made up in parts of the lay back rhythmic component of AC/DC, early 2000's indie, Eno sonic experimentalism and some Roxy Music cool. Been around for a long time but have managed to evolve across albums without ever becoming too stale, probably partly to do of the consistent churn of members outside of singer / guitarist / band focus Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno (ha!).
      Peak period for most fans would be considered the 3 album period from Kill The Moonlight to Gimme Fiction to Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, but they've been remarkably consistent.
      They're fairly well respected elders in the indie music scene these days (if it still exists) and locally can sell out a Croxton / Forum type venue under normal circumstances. Probably a twilight on a festival size band. And you've likely heard one of their songs without realising it. The Way We Get By, I Turn My Camera On and The Underdog have all been songs used in other wider pop cultural contexts.
      Good summary, thank you!

        By the way I would rather listen to a dial up modem than electronic "music".

                    Oh man I remember that. "Sorry to hang up on you. Someone tried to connect to internet.." "The internet? You must have heard about it, it's sort of like when one computer talks to another computer." "No I've got no idea what the point is either but they say it's going to be the next big thing"
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                      Love me some Cake. Super-underrated, but their catalogue outside of their main singles shows a real appreciation for folk, country, funk. The Mariachi style trumpet is a great component of their sound.
                      I hated the disco version of this song by Gloria Gaynor as a kid. This funky version is perfect and exactly the spirit lifting message I need right now to recover from last night's disappointing loss to Carlton.
