Spoon
 

One of my favorite bands, Spoon, is playing at The Music Box (Henry Fonda Theater) in September (looks like 10, 11 and 12). I won't have the funds to purchase tickets until tomorrow but I'm wondering if anyone else here has an interest in joining me.

Sadly, The Frames are already sold out.

Why, this isn't about The Tick at all!

I'm going to have to sheepishly ask you to explain yourself. I'm guessing 'Spoon' has something to do with 'The Tick'; I'm just not sure how.

"Spoon!" would be The Tick's battle cry.

You mean to say you didn't ever catch The Tick, EH?

!!!

I like both Spoons...

I thought this was going to be about the Matrix.

There is no spoon.

Sorry EH - I am concerted out for the year.

My thoughts exactly.

Poor EH - her thread got hijacked on the very first reply.

Nope, never have.

And screw you all! Heh.

You'll have to check it out sometime - I believe you would like it.

I only have the live action on DVD (Patrick Warburton was The Tick) - someone else will have to loan you the animated series.

What's the co-bill? The Forks and the Knives?

If the band breaks up they can form other groups like "The soup Spoons" and "Serving Spoons."

I crack myself up sometimes....

I've never heard of the Spoons. But I clicked this thread thinking it would be about some indie movie, on the order of "Once." How odd, then, that the first post should mention The Frames.

Does that imply, iSm, that you've finally seen Once?

Seriously, screw all of you. I'm going by myself.

Mwah. I don't know Spoon. Would I like them? (I'd really love to go see the Frames at some point, though.)

You missed the obvious one: "The Sporks"

Twice

No. Merely that I know it features the guy from The Frames.


Since our conversation about Once, I've overheard 2 other random conversations about it. I really must catch it. How releaved I am, then, that there's not another such film called "Spoons" - as I'll be hardpressed to find the time for "Once."

They were featured quite prominently in Stranger Than Fiction. Most of the musical score was taken from their songs. I think you'd like them.

Ooh. I did quite like the music from Stranger than Fiction. I'll go!

Damn me, I'll turn this whole thread back on track! It was fun annoying you while it lasted, though.

I'm glad it was fun for one of us.

Awwwwwwwwww

Awwwwwwwww, phoooooooooooey.

Hehehe.

Can I go dressed in my Man Eating Cow costume?

I wish I could go - I love Spoon! I just don't know my schedule enough in advance, and it's too early to start asking for time off. :(

Thanks to this thread, I used a discs worth of downloads on eMusic and am enjoying Spoon as we speak :)
