They’ve been the best US rock band for at least 2 decades and yet somehow all my musicophilic friends have not heard of them/never have listened to them/are not fans. Their loss - if you know, you know!

[@markpetersen8135]

Yeah I'm a musicologist. Spoon and Cake are the best in America.

[@kimberliebaker3174]

Bizarre, isn’t it

[@Cesiumswimsuit]

I don’t feel like they fly that far under the radar? 🤔 especially since Kill the Moonlight they’ve been on the indie rock map

[@benjaminprat6144]

Stonefolk- I found them in 2005 and was hooked.

[@ThreeElevenage]

It truly is a strange occurrence. I have many friends who are in the know and just don't like them or haven't heard.

[@freakbutterfly1069]

"It's called Do I Have To Talk You Into It" "No you do not" Cheryl is a national treasure

[@AdnanAlsannaa]

KEXP's BEST

so thirsty

[@ElectricBloom7]

@@J--5 we would all be the same lol.

[@hodgepodzaline]

Cheryl, I feel you, sister.

[@Zooga_Boy]

Hold up, I totally thought she was unaware of the song name and thought he was just asking her if he had to talk her into the song or give a lil intro, ya know? It's so interesting because the name for the song was perfect for that specific moment.

Some bands have musicians. These are music scientists. They always show their work, and damn their handwriting is clean.

[@joshnicholls8215]

That is a perfect analogy

[@greenplasticgun]

best sounding band on the planet

[@RyanElrond]

oh man. This band is pure elegance

[@justinburkewalsh8061]

Brit's voice is amazing.

[@Maddox2Doehring]

This is the PERFECT setting for Spoon's music, well done KEXP. Such a great performance by these guys.

[@strictlynorton]

Cheryl rocks and Spoon are one of America's finest rock acts. KEXP are a global treasure.

[@stefannemanjic34]

Global treasure indeed!

[@kevinherd3437]

This is exactly what I'd expect from these guy, they always seem to exude cool and originality with every release.

[@AdnanAlsannaa]

Cheryl "No you do not" hahahahahaha Chyrel you are my favorite!@@@!!!!!!!!

[@jrecken]

Best performance ever of this station, easily.

[@knapperr1959]

How doesn't this have 1 million views! I Ain't The One is magicaaaaal

[@veritasuno3304]

My Guess -- since they are on an INDIE Label --- Get Less Promotions. SAD -- You have to Sell your SOUL to get that.... Compromises.

[@pkahnke]

Mind blowing that this only has 189k views...one of the best performances on KZbin.

[@TheKathleensUTube]

Grammy worthy great writing and composition.

[@chaosbringerpig]

Now THIS is music! Long live Spoon!

[@Avalyn_Wu]

Fuck yeah! Spoon's back at KEXP.

[@anthonypecora5005]

Thank God there are still bands like this around today for an old fart like me to enjoy.

[@adamcreelman9495]

Spoon doesn't disappoint, like, ever.

[@ibebrodey]

alex and I were in first grade together whens Spoons first album came out. always been super talented, so weird to see him play with them though.

[@AlexisRiego]

Man, I love Cheryl so much.

[@clqudy4750]

For the record, this may well be Spoon's greatest opus.. the cohesion and tone make this a timeless piece of anyone's listening repertoire. Still fantastic 6 years after seeing this live. ♥

[@greenplasticgun]

No one SOUNDS better than Spoon

[@dragosalexandrescu140]

I just discovered this band a few year ago, Since then I am listening their amazing songs every day! this performance is exceptional!

[@adamrivera1873]

a real fucking band, met brit years ago on the street in ATX very humble dude. These MFers never disappoint

[@gimpuccino]

So glad to see Spoon back on KEXP! Another stellar performance from them

[@ronrenfrowrealtor5989]

Seeing this band for the first time on Monday! Can't wait!

[@k00patr00pa1]

These guys are so underrated, such a hardworking band.

[@anniegreenwood810]

This is such an amazing mini-concert of Spoon! I'm so happy this is here.

[@rayna8544]

Spoon & KEXP, forever musical treasures

[@WiloPolis03]

Pink Up is such an underrated track, sound amazing here

[@clumsy_clam]

I just knew them on Austin Limits fest. This performance is great, and Pink Up is the greatest. OMG.

[@kennykistler6735]

It makes me a little sad that a band as great as Spoon isn't generating 10M views on a video. I've seen them a bunch of times, and I met them at an autograph signing. Just fantastic in every way.

[@arnold1964able]

Why does that make you sad? Do you enjoy music more when everybody listen to it? I like this music and I don't care if 10 other people or 10 million other people listen to it.

[@kennykistler6735]

@@arnold1964able I feel sad for Britt and Jim, because they deserve more. I figured that would be obvious. Guess not.

[@Pinmarcus]

This has made my day! Awesome album Spoon! Been lovin' it since it released

[@SalviaBrothers]

This is the only version of Can I Sit Next To You I want to listen to. Those "Bollywood Strings" are off the scales insanely good. Great cinematography and love the look.

[@jpdionne1893]

Killer performance. Killer effects and sound arrangements ...... Wow..

[@hifisociety]

Spoons are made for eating soup, cereal along with food of that sort not making awesome music but here they are in the flesh doing just that. Incredible.

[@donaldwesterhazy9333]

BD is so well spoken and intelligent. The music, flawless.

[@davidhone8708]

Saw the premiere of this album live and now Im counting down the days till it gets here! Phenomenal track list

[@kbishop2860]

I discovered this band when listening to Modest Mouse radio on Pandora. The first time I heard the sound I had to step out of the shower just to see who the band was!

[@jonmehl2762]

My favorite pandora station has been Spoon radio for years now.

[@minijoann9649]

K Bishop they were in Lollapalooza in Argentina a couple of weeks ago. I was walking around and heard 'can i sit netxt to you' and the sound stucks in my head.. now im discovering the band lucky me ⚡👌😊

[@DefMaybeComedy]

I don't believe the story unless you slipped and did the banana splits

[@Thepats00]

Loved the 3rd song! Amazing tunes guys

[@paulrmm]

Warning... Spoon is in the air once again on KEXP ... 5**!!

Hot thoughts melting my mind Could be your accent mixing with mine You got me uptight, twisting inside Hot thoughts all in my mind and all of the time, babe Hot thoughts all in my mind and all of the time, yeah Hot thoughts all in, all in my mind all of the time (woo) Your teeth shining so white Light up this sad street in Shibuya tonight Hot thoughts melting my cool Is it your motion, signal and cue? Hot thoughts all in my mind and all of the time You must be trouble for sure Hot thoughts all in my mind and all of the time, yeah I'll tell it to your soul I want you to know Hot thoughts all in, all in my mind all of the time Took time off from my kingdom Took a break from the walk Took time off from my kingdom Raise up my creatures Diamonds from space Pure facets and features That drag drug from your lips Making you think how good it was to let baby kiss on the lows Hot thoughts melting your cool Could be the motion, the signal and cue You've got Hot thoughts all in your mind all of the time I'll hold it to my rind Make up your mind, yeah Oh, you know, I think I, I think all your love is a lie

Dr. Octopus on drums!

[@user-pi4oe9cx6h]

They played at Fargo Brewery here in Fargo,ND outdoors. My apartment balcony faced the stage so I got to enjoy the show for free.

I like the music of spoon radio.

[@batbawls]

Cheryl is a great.

[@BeeryGamer]

Wow "Do I have to talk you into it" has a really weird "The beast and dragon, adored" vibe to it. At first it sounded so weirdly similiar but now I'm growing more fond of it.

[@enparticular]

it's the bonham drumming

[@timoconnor5177]

They used a part of the beast and dragon adored as a backing track it sounds like

[@zzzoe8888]

oooh hot!!! pink up

[@Kyussvalley]

No words

[@prepstein]

I like some of these live tracks better than the LP recordings.

[@RebornHumanoidTV]

These live versions sound a lot better than the ones on Hot Thoughts, to be honest. Much rawer and more energy put out by the band, doing the stuff that Spoon does best.

[@Velvetspoonful]

I just commented the singer sort of looks a bit like Gordon Ramsay. It's much... RAWER do you say?

[@RebornHumanoidTV]

Hey, as long as it's not ROTTEN!

[@Velvetspoonful]

Or stored with RAW CHICKEN. Lulz, but I really do find he looks like a skinnier Ramsay. Good music. Got any favorite tunes I might check?

[@kroilito]

@@Velvetspoonful The beast and dragon, adored

[@elchiquillo6975]

[@dthorne4602]

yes, best song on the album

[@EasternCCCorp]

Amazing.

[@GrismerMusic]

love how they sound just like in the studo

[@kroilito]

*They sound better than in studio

[@tupolev.designs]

You meant studio in the studio right

[@mangauniversity]

Spoon's music is magical. And Cheryl's a treasure, for sure. But when she praises the keyboard "riff" in "Can I Sit Next to You," how could she not recognize it as the same riff from The Cure's "Lullaby"? I LOL'd when Britt tried to dismiss it as "Oh, that thing, yeah." BUSTED! ;-)

[@cooperdeshawn4234]

How many times do I have to tell you to turn his shit down!? Do you not see my hand gestures!? That was great, wonder if he was really pissed after that song. Actually, he first starts telling them what to do at 10:19, first he tells them to turn it up.. then turn it down for the rest of the song..

[@tommybass40]

Hot Thoughts is so effin’ killer, these guys should be huge....maybe in another time...

[@genesishernandez9851]

I just want to know the settings of his vocals, high pass filter? with added low end? a color box maybe? this is killing me, so good!
