Needles & Grooves

I expect most people will come upon this status tomorrow morning, read all of this and promptly slowly back out of the room.

Except for hatbird, where is he anyhow... ahem.... @Corycm

Since we're here. Jesus christ VMP can I have my fucking records already (not like it matters, I'm in the middle of CHRISTMASMUSICMAGEDDON and my backlog is INSANE)

Yeah it's hilarious they send everything in an order separate UNLESS they have an issue on their end then it's OH NO WE HAVE TO HOLD EVERYTHING. WTH

oh, I hadn't listened to it until now.
you are a bad man, I'm addicted too.
this thing is sexy as hell!

Goddammit Newman.

I was in that camp when the single was first released. Then I got addicted to ‘Wild’. It’s my AOTY, and it is loaded with memorable tracks. I think KUTX has played at least 6 of the 10 songs on-air at some point.

What does it say about me that I'm the resident Spoon fan here and think that the latest album is one of their worst? And yet, it's still better than most bands out there these days.

I don't think there's anything new or groundbreaking within the album but it's just a damn catchy rock record. But I totally get how it could fall anywhere within their discography depending on the listener. I don't know them enough to rank any of their albums, but I like that song, a lot.

It is 1 or 2 in their discography for me. To me it has a perfect combination of the various Spoon sounds from over the years. It’s like a Spoon sampler. “Hot Thoughts” and “Telephono” are the ones I return to the least, but even they have a number of good tracks.

They Want My Soul is my favorite Spoon album, and my favorite album of the 10's, but Hot Thoughts and Lucifer On The Sofa haven't done much for me

Gimme Fiction and Transference are my top two. Both have great sounds but I love how disjointed Transference is.

All of their albums are incredibly solid. I don't think I'd rate any of them below a 7 or 8. We also saw them on this tour over the summer and they were amazing.

And as much as I love Spoon, I think that the Divine Fits album is the best thing Britt has ever done

Hey, @Mather , I just got shipping notice, it’s a festivus miracle.

Let's save that miracle talk for when it manages to make it's way through the Christmas throng and actually arrives.

WHO’S THE BUZZKILL NOW CANADIALANDER?

For the record, my vote goes to uMusic and the 12 days of dumb vinyl.

Jesus Christ I read that as Christmas thong and nearly had to poke out my mind’s eye

Don't think I didn't bank on that happening when I decided to go with that word.
