The Inter-Spoon Fire
The other day I bought the following albums:
The Arcade Fire EP sounds appropriately like Funeral's younger sibling. Atmospheric, lyrical, and oh so quirky.
Interpol's Antics sounds nothing like I'd expected. I'd never heard Interpol before and decided to take a chance after hearing some good things about the band. They sound a little bit like if the Killers instruments had a baby with the Arcade Fire's lyrical content.
Spoon's Gimme Fiction was another one I'd never heard of before, except for one review which simply stated "Spoon's new album is delicious. Go and buy it." It is certainly intriguing. It's in the same arena as Arcade Fire and Stars, but there's no female singer. Every song is permeated with a subtle air of menace which is quite "delicious."
Bottom Line: I've got lots of listening to do over reading week which is here now. Hoo-rah!

Our CD collections look very similar!
I like the EP, but for non-album stuff, my favorite work of theirs is their delicious cover of the Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place." Have you heard it??
I adore Antics. Turn on the Bright Lights is very gloomy and intense, but overall, Antics is, apart from its own moments of gloominess and intensity, quite sweet, ethereal, nice and ever-so-lyrical. They opened their concert with "Next Exit" and the drums sounded like an extremely loud, irregular heartbeat.
And now I go.
Did they play "Evil"? I'm rapidly becoming a big fan of that song.
"Sandy, why can't we look the other way?"
Did they ever!
