Episode 111 : Today we're talking with Tyler Asay of The Tisburys. We talked about Spoon's third album "Girls Can Tell" and learning to find success on your own terms. We also talk about learning to be your authentic self and also knowing when to push outside of your comfort zone in order to grow as a musician. Tyler's band, The Tisburys, recently released their newest album, the amazingly titled, "Exile on Main Street." Check that out right now wherever you stream music, it's one of my favorites of the year. https://tisburys.bandcamp.com/album/exile-on-main-street-2 Subscribe to our Patreon here: www.patreon.com/spinningoutpod Follow us on social media -- twitter and instagram (@Spinningoutpod)

In the first of a new roundtable series, we're taking a look back at the 90s origins of Spoon, and how they went from devotees of Frank Black and Robert Pollard, to one of the most consistently interesting and successful bands of the 2000s. Britt Daniel and Jim Eno, the core singer/songwriter/guitarist and drummer/producer of Spoon, have been at it for almost thirty years. In the 2000s, starting with Girls Can Tell, and up to their most recent release Hot Thoughts, the band has managed to expertly toe the line between slick songwriting worthy of radio, television and film placement, while keeping a shape-shifting edge that expertly slips back and forth between minimalist and embellished production, tied together with Daniel's emphatic but easy on the ears delivery that manages to inhabit Ray Davies, Tom Petty and Prince all at the same time. But before they began their run of successful 2000s releases, the band was almost another tragic tale of the 1990s major label signing frenzy, bouncing between taste-maker Matador for their debut Telephono and EP Soft Effects, to then jump to the majors on A Series Of Sneaks at Elektra that saw them dropped four months after their sophomore release. Like so many before that have carved out long careers, the early years of Spoon reveal a band struggling to channel their influences into something wholly unique while Daniel's begins the process of finding his own voice. Intro - Utilitarian (A Series Of Sneaks) 14:42 - Theme To Wendell Stivers (Telephono) 18:54 - Nefarious (Telephono) 22:43 - Mountain Of Sound (Soft Effects EP) 33:49 - The Minor Tough (A Series Of Sneaks) 47:39 - Metal Detektor (A Series Of Sneaks) Outro - The Agony Of Laffitte (Laffitte 7" single) Facebook / Twitter / Instagram   Zazzle Merch Store   http://www.digmeoutpodcast.com

We take a look back at one particular incident in 1979 involving the Stephen Stills Band, too much to drink, and Elvis Costello's racist remarks toward black American musicians just as his career was starting to take off in the U.S. Costello bounces back by releasing "Get Happy!!" in 1980, a collection of soul-pop gems that demonstrated a clear respect and admiration for the music of black America. To tie it back to last week's review of Spoon's "Girls Can Tell", we listen to "Secondary Modern" and explore the influence Costello had on Britt Daniels vocal stylings.

On this week's episode we continue our dive into Spoon with a look at Girls Can Tell. This album shows a clear shift in sound from the more aggressive and punchier approach of their previous works, with Britt Daniels acknowledging that anything is fair game when it comes to a Spoon song. Pianos, vibraphones, and even harpsichords are introduced into the songwriting process, creating the blueprint for how Britt and company approach the music of Spoon from that point on. It's safe to say that Girls Can Tell is when Spoon becomes Spoon. For more info, check out our show notes: https://www.nofillerpodcast.com/episode/ep-12-spoon-girls-can-tell

Spoon "Me and the Bean" (18.1 MB) from Girls Can Tell Summerfest Milwaukee, WI June 29, 2009 So I'm 30 now, as of this show. And even though the last two Spoon records had disappointed me, I found myself liking a lot of that material at this show. Maybe it's because I'm entering my middle-age rock phase, but I hope not. It could be because they threw this Girls Can Tell album cut out as the second song of the set, getting my "hey, I love this song!" vibe going early. This is still my favorite Spoon album and I think any song from it would've perked me up at the beginning of the set.
