The Great Band From Austin, Texas
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 EP 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. Spoon wrote and performed much of the soundtrack to the movie, Stranger Than Fiction. The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007. (read more)

We break into mobile homes
We go to sleep to shake up you
And then wake up on our own
And that's the way we get by to
Way we get by
Aw that's, the way we get by to
Way we get by
We go out in stormy weather
We rarely practice discern
We make love to some with sin
We seek out the taciturn
The Way We Get By Lyrics
