Three years later, Spoon finally return to Toronto in triumph. Riding the success of a new CD, Girls Can Tell (Merge), Spoon roared into town to support Guided By Voices, with whom they'd toured before. A full house for GBV also got to enjoy a great show by Austin's finest. After their set, I spoke to new bassist Roman (also of the great great Oranges Band), to "Amazing Drummer/Clooney lookalike" Jim, who procured the setlist, and finally, over the sonic assault of Pollard and Co., to Britt. I was able to shout out a request for an interview before their headlining show the next night. Britt was laid back and gracious, and the results are here.
