Spoon Talks (to someone else)

If you're bored this weekend (or still hungover from the Anniversary party from Friday night (frankly, we're not sure if Mr. Zhuang is still alive at this point, but Joe and I are too lazy to check)), check out this interview with Britt Daniel from Spoon. We always give love to our Portland rockstars, and we accept transplants just as much as our homegrown talent. Here's an example why you should read it:

AVC: For the longest time, the press has referred to you as "underrated" and "criminally overlooked." Do you still feel that way?

BD: No. The press has been pretty good to us ever since Girls Can Tell. I think we're one of the best bands making records today, and do I think we should be selling more records than Maroon 5? Yeah, because I think we're better. That's if it were a just world. It's not a just world. Actually, why don't we put The Bravery in there instead? No, let's not use The Bravery. Who's a good band to use?

AVC: Linkin Park?

BD: Yeah! You can't get any worse than Linkin Park. Let's use that.

See? You got to love a musician who goes right out and proclaims the crapulence of Linkin Park. In other news, Linkin Park inexplicably continues to have the number 1 song on Alternative Radio. Yaaaaaargh, to all you idiot MDs.

Oh, and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is worth listening, if you're into the whole "music" thing.
