Line Out - Comments on Spoon @ the Showbox http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/09/spoon_the_showbox Photo from heyrocker's Flickr Last night Spoon played an epic-length set to a sold-out Showbox. I've been a bit of a Spoon apologist in the past, defending the verve and wit of their albums over some underwhelming local festival...

Like I said, I think it's obvious that they're a solid group of musicians, but I think their songs were lousy and as a group lacking in presence. Watching the show, I felt like Blues Brothers 2000 had more verve and veracity.

Now I really know what it's like to be a writer at the Stranger.

@6 And it's, "You're a douchebag." Otherwise you are (ie: "you're") closer to implying ownership over a bag of douche than saying that I am that.

And if my opinions make you upset, perhaps you should write a sad song about it? I think I know a genre that you might like, there are endless hordes of mediocre bands rocking the style but on occasion there's an act that really does something with it.
