OTD Alive: Spoon (video, mp3s)
By Carly Carioli

Spoon, Don't Make Me A Target (Live in Boston)

Spoon, Underdog (Live in Boston)

Spoon, Black Like Me (Live in Boston)

Here, in its entirety, is the set Spoon played to a roomful of about 30 WFNX listeners and friends-of-OTD last week at First Act, prior to their big shew at the Roxy. By now everyone knows the single, but if you listen to only one of these we highly recommend "Black Like Me," which kills and feels like the "What Goes Around" to Underdog's "Sexy Back."

Josh Homme stopped by to play a few songs for us and about 35 other lucky stiffs on Boylston Street last week before QOTSA's proper gig. We had our doubts about what the hell Homme would do without an electric guitar, and we were doubly dubious when we found out he'd requested no amplification of any kind: no wires, no monitors, no PAs, just two guitars and singing into the wind.

A day of Spooning
By Caitlin E. Curran
Britt and crew looked a bit confused at their noon-time First Act gig yesterday (check back soon for live footage), and after their set, which just barely passed the 15-minute mark, we were confused - we were ready to gorge ourselves on all that glorious Spoon minimalism, in a small space (even better!), but all we got was an appetizer.
