Spoon - “Peace Like a River” (Paul Simon cover)

ANYTHING YOU WANT. A Spoon Primer.

Spoon is a indie-pop-rock-what-have-you band from Austin, TX. They have been making amazing music since the mid-90’s and you need to start listening to them yesterday. Britt Daniel (blond giant) is the lead singer and guitarist. He has the most amazing nasal yelp of a singing voice you will ever hear. Rob Pope plays bass, Eric Harvey plays keys, and Jim Eno plays drums, but none of them play too much. “Minimalist” is tossed around a lot in regards to their music, and they are, but in a different way on every song. Look, you really need to hear for yourself.

Sweet socks.

Happy Friday!

"D: The “Tweakers (Remix)” is the first Spoon song to feature rapping. Who’s rapping and what are they rapping about?
BD: That’s my friend Sean from this band we had called The Muhfuz that existed before Spoon. We reunited for that song. He says something like, “Fly through the air like a day-old tortilla”… Uh… “Bust a load in your face like my name’s Dick Cheney.” You know. You can hear what he’s saying! What, you just want to hear me saying it?"
