Best (Spoon + dancing robot) video evah, for the song “Don’t You Evah”:

That would be off Spoon’s awesome new album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. And, for the record, I believe it was somewhere around Virginia on my recent East Coast drive — after listening to Girls Can Tell, Gimme Fiction, and A Series of Sneaks repeatedly — that Spoon became the incumbent Favorite Band of Crabwalk.com. (The position had been vacant for sometime, since my love of Calexico shrank a half-size.)

Spoon has been the FavoUrite band of ConsolationChamps.com since, oh, about 1998. But yeah, GaGaGaGaGa is pretty excellent, much better than the last record. Finer Feelings is a monster radio hit, in my universe anyway.

I'm not sure A Capital Idea deserves a favorite band, since it's just a shell of its former self, but if it did, Spoon would be tops.

If you were still in Dallas, I'd invite you to meet up for the Spoon/New Porns show in a couple of months.
