Today’s album is ‘Girls Can Tell’ by Spoon.
Spoon is an even stupider band name than yesterday’s Brand New.
This was Spoon’s third album and first on this label. They were dropped from their previous label and then came back with a new sound.
I’ve never heard any of their previous songs or any of these songs on this album before but I listened to this album twice in a row this morning. That tells you two things – 1, its a short album, about 36 minutes and 2, I liked it.
While I no longer think that a song has to be over 5 minutes to be worthwhile I do think that this album was too short. I definitely wanted more of it.
However, wanting more isn’t necessarily a bad thing so it makes it to the Greatest 2001 playlist!
It’s been reasonably easy to complete this blog over the last 7ish months because of lockdowns and such I haven’t actually been anywhere. However, tomorrow I have an overnight away from home for the first time since 2019. It may take a little extra effort for me to listen to an album and write about it…but I haven’t missed a day yet and I don’t aim to start now.
