Lovin' Spoonful

You know, another great indie band I have gotten into in recent years is Spoon. They have a neat groove... especially on their 2007 album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (yeah, you got yer cherry bomb!). Apparently they have been around for some time now... since 1993... which makes them elder statesmen, right? In fact, it looks like lead singer Britt Daniel is around my age (let's hear it, fortysomethings and sticking with it! Good lesson).

Anyway, Daniel has a new side project out right now called The Divine Fits, which sounds an awful lot like Spoon... or maybe that's because of his rather garage rockin', soulful vocals. From what I've heard, it's a nice mix with some odd synths thrown in with the typically strong bass line. So here's a listen to a great tune they are playing on WEXT right now... "Would That Not Be Nice":

Phew... I'm beat. Off for some more spoonin.'
