(1 Customer Review)
Spoon's Britt Daniels ("The Biggest Ears In Rock 'n' Roll") has drawn a lot of comparisons to Jonathan Richman. This is probably due to that "I-need-to-spend-some-quality-time-with-my-otolaryngologist" sound of stuffed sinuses they both share more than anything else. Otherwise, Spoon's second longplayer has more of that jagged sorta-garage, sorta-punk, sorta-just-plain-old-cool sound that veers away from standard song form, but not away from hooks. Did somebody say "hooks?" Take the gorgeous, melancholy melody of the album's closer, "Advance Cassette." Or better yet, "Metal Detektor", the catchiest song ever written about bank robbery. Infectious, addictive, irresistible; it's the reason you spend all your money on music.

Q (1/02, p.122) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...driven, sure-footed lo-fi rock sound whips through 17 songs...that are tight, taut and melodic....songs veer...from the chugging and tuneful...to the hook laden..."

Series Of Sneaks album
$12.19 Neutral Milk Hotel leader Jeff Mangum is a popster who hears interstellar sounds as natural ingredients of his "pop." He was weaned with the inevitable four-track in his bedroom, schooled on a record collection stacked with John Cage and Captain Beefheart as well as the Beatles and the Kinks. There is an instant emotional intensity to Neutral Milk's ...

Series Of Sneaks music CDs
$12.79 Building on the momentum of 2001's critically acclaimed GIRLS CAN TELL, Spoon unveiled KILL THE MOONLIGHT the following year. The Austin, Texas-based band's second outing for Merge Records finds frontman Britt Daniel and company settling comfortably into a mutually advantageous relationship with the revered indie label, resulting in a confident and creative album. The group ...
| | Spoon Gimme Fiction CDs (2005)
Series Of Sneaks songs
$12.95 Spoon are purveyors of a stylish brand of indie rock bearing equal doses of sexy attitude and immediately accessible songcraft. GIMME FICTION has a fair bit in common with 2002's KILL THE MOONLIGHT, synthesizing influences that include everyone from the Beatles to Pavement into an appealing, soulful package. Yet GIMME FICTION is decidedly more polished and intimate than its predecessor, and it boasts a stronger batch of songs. There are dashes of retro mood, too. The opener, "The Beast and Dragon, Adored," has the feel of a minor-key ...
| | Spoon Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga CD (2007)
Series Of Sneaks album
$12.95 By 2007 Spoon had grown into one of the most quietly inventive and accomplished outfits in rock. Like 2005's excellent GIMME FICTION, GA GA GA GA GA is a winning combination of hook-heavy pop and post-punk angles driven by a unique piano-guitar interplay and singer Britt Daniels's expressive vocals. But Spoon's secret ingredient is their spare, often brilliant arrangements. Like a Japanese calligrapher drawing on rice paper, Spoon applies minimal lines and shading to make each song a meticulous pop universe full of texture and subtlety.
The ephemeral and appropriately haunting "The Ghost of You Lingers" is a fine example; its radically pared-down piano motif and elliptical melody sound like ...
| | Lou Reed Rock And Roll Heart CD (1976) Remastered
Series Of Sneaks CD music
$9.39 This sequel to CONEY ISLAND BABY finds Lou Reed in an equally mellow mood. The songs are mostly gentle, jazzy things, heavy on acoustic guitar, electric piano, and sax. There are exceptions, of course. "Banging on My Drum," whose title is fully half of the song's lyric, is a three-chord rocker with Lou gone electric. Had the drumming been a little less conventional, this one could have passed for a Velvet Underground outtake. Also noteworthy are "Chooser and the Chosen One," an odd sort of R&B instrumental; "Follow the Leader," which appears to be Reed's version of '70s funk; and "Sheltered Life," in which Reed sings "I've ...
| | Eddie Spaghetti Old No. 2 CD (2005) Digipak
Series Of Sneaks music CDs
$9.89 Now that the Supersuckers have become a productive cottage industry thanks to the good people at Mid-Fi Records (namely the band itself), 'Suckers frontman Eddie Spaghetti has given us his second solo album in as many years with 2005's Old No. 2. Like his previous solo disc Sauce, Old No. 2 is dominated by covers, though Eddie wrote a whopping four new songs for this set (double his output for Sauce), and since this album boasts a significantly lower goofiness quotient than his previous go-round, he offers us some solid and literate country-rock tunes, including the ode to touring "Here We Go" and a rueful look back at a busted romance, "Some People Say." Old No. 2 is in the tradition of the Supersuckers' periodic visits to the land of twang, with even the AC/DC and Coasters covers boasting a semi-acoustic sawdust-on-the-floor vibe, ...
