Spoon | Transference
Merge (2010)
Any year now, Spoon will release an album consisting of one 35-minute unfailing groove anchored by bass and peppered with erratic guitar-chord grunts and Britt Daniel's wordless exclamations ("Awright!") — an idealized endgame that distills the band's reductive technique to its purest state.

Finally, a GOP gubernatorial contender!
Robitaille gives it a go. Plus, voter unrest, Reid puts his foot in it, and more.
