Pitchfork Preparations 2.

Spoon.

By now who doesn't know this Austin band. They harken back to the days of just rock and roll. No frills, nothing fancy, just plain rock and roll. Lyrics about clothes that fit right, hot chicks, smoking pot, etc. This is one of those bands that put such a premium on rythem that you just can't help tapping your foot when their on. Doing that little white indie rocker head bob.

I've seen them a few times live, and they are very tight. The singer, Britt Daniel, has rock star written on every head motion and gesture. The only fault I can have with this band is the repetitve nature of the songs. At times it can be hard to separate one song from the next.
