We have Labor Day weekend coming up. Get out there, hit the beach, and grab a 6-pack. Ah, that reminds me of a recurring segment...
In the interest of spreading the love of good music, we will throw out six suggested songs by certain bands you may or may not know much about. Not much of a time commitment, just a little something to get the flavor and get you going.
When I lived in DC 20 years ago, I used to exchange music ideas with a good friend, a WandM Kappa named Jill. She was always a half-step ahead of me, and she introduced me to a number of bands and albums I still enjoy.
Jill still sends me recs. Here's a wacky one she sent 2 days ago. It's also helpful if you wondered what ever became of TR.
And now onto the sixer...
Gheorghe's 6-Pack: Spoon
Vitals
Where: Austin, TX
When: 1993–present
Who: Britt Daniel, Jim Eno, and a bunch of guys who have rotated in and out
Spoon was one of the first recs Jill shared with me. Their Merge Records debut Girls Can Tell is a very solid listen, and I bought it on her advice in 2001. I still spin that sucker now and again.
Here's a good smattering of Spoon. Surface level warranting a deeper dive. That's what 6-packs are for!
Enjoy.
"Everything Hits at Once," Girls Can Tell, 2001
"The Way We Get By," Kill the Moonlight, 2002
"I Turn My Camera On," Gimme Fiction, 2005
"You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb," Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, 2007
"Hot Thoughts," Hot Thoughts, 2017
"Wild," Lucifer on the Sofa, 2022

love spoon
How about a little Back Yard Brawl tonight?! Much excitement.
Back in the old days a few of us Winc boys would visit some of our mates that weekend in Mo'town. Was always at a minimum, excessively fun, due somewhat in part to the hospitality the lass' of WV were happy to extend. Damn that was a long time ago. Gettin' old, folks.
backyard brawl...i hope you're watching
It was an entertaining game of american football.
The Backyard Brawl was highly entertaining. Purdue-Penn Shit. was pretty damn good as well. Got me psyched for a day of football watching tomorrow in New Orleans.
Spoon is great. I would’ve included Trouble Comes Running but I am not arguing against this six pack.
