Today's Quick Mention: I know it's almost a week old (or as the
internet would say, ancient), but have you guys seen the 6.7 review of
Pitchfork over at
Pop Sense?
I honestly think that it might be one of the best, most honest pieces I've
ever read. You have to check it out.
Spoon and I have this weird relationship where I can't ever guess how
they'll tweak their sound from record to record, and they never know whether
I'll approve. OK, so they don't really care what I think, but they've
readied a sixth LP, I have the first single (by way of the recently released
Got Nuffin EP) and I'm filled with curiosity. Let's listen and
then discuss. Enjoy.

- Got Nuffin:
When Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga was soon-to-be released and the
only song floating around was the static-enhanced,
piano-heavy The Ghost Of You Lingers, I was thinking
that the band was surely going to deliver one hell of
strange effort. That didn't happen. So, I won't
be making any guesses this time around. Although, if
they decide to deliver a bunch of tunes like this 80s-esque
gem, which is filled with hooky guitar riffs and driving
basslines, then I won't complain. At all.
