Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga came out 10 years ago today, when we were all ruled by a dangerously incompetent crypto-fascist. Seems like only yesterday

Gimme Fiction was released this day in 2005. Our friend @seanoneal put together an oral history of its creation a while back that’s highly recommended:

Hey @spotify, the fact you keep putting our names & faces on songs that aren’t ours is kinda the opposite of a 'chill time.’ Sorry if any of you got an alert about new music from us but you can check out music we have released here:

RT @jennleebaird: The inclement Charlotte weather had other ideas about the Spoon show last night, which could not proceed in the amphitheater as planned, BUT the boys pulled it together (kinda) to give those of us who waited around a small acoustic set next door at The Fillmore.

Always thought headphones should be more expensive, less functional, and somehow give Apple more control over music.

.@acltv is airing a special best-of Spoon episode next month on Jan 30. The show's always been good to us, going back to when Britt was served underage beers in the old UT studios at the Stevie Ray Vaughan taping of 1989. Cheers to the greatest music show TV's ever known.

Happy birthday to Soft Effects, a little record that made a big difference in how the band evolved. Still think it's one of the best releases we've ever done & the way it’s panned is cool.
