Making Spoons
I've been digging on the new Spoon album, "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga". Sure, the title could probably use some help, but the songs are nice. The album is good on first listen, bordering on great if you give it some time sink in.
"The Underdog" is the first single, and primary songwriter/lead singer Britt Daniels described it in an Onion AV Club interview as a Van Morrison song. I like it because I don't hear many good pop/rock songs that use horns without giving me the impression that band put the horn line into the song just so they could have a song with horns.
You should watch the video too, if for no other reason than I need someone to explain to me how the song relates to the video.
Bonus Material:
This story is probably familiar to any DC readers, but I had to throw it in for my friends back home in Minneapolis. People like this exist where I live.

Ouch, this article (on the LNS's) is the first thing in a long time that tells me I DON'T want to be back in my college years.. I forgot how toxic the early twenties can be.
I am sure too that those same bastards can't wait to judge other people too for lesser transgressions.. arhghgh! Hypocracy is gonna be humanity's hardest habit to break.
And as a past hormonally controlled young man, I can appreciate the need for simplifying dating (or one-nighters). But you'd think they could do without the venom. At least the hippy's version of free love didn't come across as exclusive. Hell, I think it was about NOT being judgemental.
At least I have 16+ years of preparing my daughter for that type of stupidity.
Thanks for the insight into the DC bar scene. Now go find a bar for people your age. ;-) (wouldn't you rather bump into senior coworkers than the new secretary?) (hmm don't answer that)

They do have a bar for people my age, it's called my back porch...
