Spoon: Britt Daniel, Jim Eno, Joshua Zarbo.
Recorded in 1997.
Spoon's Britt Daniels ("The Biggest Ears In Rock 'n' Roll") has drawn a lot of comparisons to Jonathan Richman. This is probably due to that "I-need-to-spend-some-quality-time-with-my-otolaryngologist" sound of stuffed sinuses they both share more than anything else. Otherwise, Spoon's second longplayer has more of that jagged sorta-garage, sorta-punk, sorta-just-plain-old-cool sound that veers away from standard song form, but not away from hooks. Did somebody say "hooks?" Take the gorgeous, melancholy melody of the album's closer, "Advance Cassette." Or better yet, "Metal Detektor", the catchiest song ever written about bank robbery. Infectious, addictive, irresistible; it's the reason you spend all your money on music.
