Last night Emily and I went to Upper West side to see Spoon. I've got Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on wax and bought the tickets for the show, and was pretty eager to see a good-live-newer-band. It was fun. They are interesting, with class and style, no pretension (except the two encores) and good energy/cool vibe. They played all the songs I wanted to hear, plus some intriguing ones (a cool "Rungle Through the Jungle"-ish tune that ended up being a Paul Simon cover). There's a link below to a npr interview/performance. I haven't listened to the show, but the interview is cool.
The first track of Ga is "Don't Make Me A Target" which could easily be interpreted as a citizens request to politicians...by all means, make yourself one if you please, but not me!

Glad you enjoyed the show. I totally dig the "Ga" album as well. I had downloaded a Spoon concert from iTunes previously, pretty fun to listen to.
