1) Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The band was formed in late 1993 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Current members also include: Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) and Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals - replaced Joshua Zarbo in 2007).
After releasing their debut LP Telephono on Matador Records, the band signed with Elektra in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response the band released a two-song single titled The Agony of Laffitte (referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte). Eventually they signed to Merge Records.
Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Gimme Fiction was released on May 10, 2005 and continued the trend of increasing popularity for the band.
Britt Daniel wrote much of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Four tracks by Spoon are also featured.
The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007; those who purchased the first pressing also received a bonus disc titled Get Nice!.
Transference is their seventh studio album. It was released on January 18, 2010 in Europe, and on January 19 in North America, to moderately positive reviews.

Oooh ohooh
Ooh

Oooh ooh
Oooh

Kate made it where most never been
Fixed up outside and broke within

She always said goodnight
Knowing the wrong from right

Well on the way the time
It showed her things she never find
And left her down in the dumps
Whoooa
All day and all night

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down

Oooh oh

Skipped ahead to settle down
Oh won't you come out tonight

Don't let it get you down

Kate made it where most never been
Kate achieved something others could not

Fixed up outside and broke within
Kate presented herself as put-together, but was struggling internally

She always said goodnight, knowing the wrong from right
Kate had a good moral compass and tried to do the right thing

Well on the way the time, it showed her things she never find
As time passed, Kate learned new things and gained new experiences

And left her down in the dumps, whoooa all day and all night
Despite her efforts, Kate felt overwhelmed and upset

Don't let it get you down

Kate grew up without making a sound
Kate was quiet and reserved growing up

Skipped ahead to settle down
Kate prioritized finding stability and starting a family early in life

Oh won't you come out tonight
An invitation to spend time with someone to lift their spirits
