Christopher's Music Pick: Spoon This band from Austin has a case as one of the greatest American rock bands of the past 25 years, but we suspect there are some music lovers who might not be familiar with them. The guys attempt to remedy that situation in this episode. Spoon, essentially, is vocalist/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno, the only consistent members of the group. And there's that word: consistent. As you'll hear during the show, it's perhaps the best description of Spoon's output. They've never released a bum album. They've never taken a wrong turn sonically and continually put out interesting music. Over the years, the band has evolved from early efforts with clear Pixies/Pavement influences to clearly identifying a “Spoon Sound” — songs constructed with only the most essential elements, featuring shifting rhythms, tight drums, and rock-solid bass lines. Daniel's skill as a lyricist is in finding couplets and phrases that rattle around your head weeks after you've heard a song. Since GIRLS CAN TELL, the band has subtly added new elements to its songwriting, leaving behind a string of albums that all have their own identity yet that live up to high standards previously set. It's great album after great album, great song after great song. And, it's argued on the show, perhaps one of the greatest efforts of the decade of the '00s. We let the music do a lot of the talking on this episode. Give it a listen, and we're convinced you're going to come out the other side as a fanatic.
