spoon are great. more than likely worth a view - i haven't seen them myself, but i have friends who have and rave. spoon is very kinks-influenced.. you can definitely hear the ray davies in their prior work especially (see album "kill the moonlight" and song "the way we get by"!) and their new one i'm working on listening to more.. doesnt seem too bad. -jake -- Jake Beamer offbeat antifolk power pop poet (603) 264-2247 http://www.jakebeamer.com http://www.themusichunter.com http://www.weirdpop.net http://www.newenglandantifolk.com
