I Don't Get Out So Much Since I Acquired St. Vitus' Dance

Greetings faithful Cuddle Readers. A quick one today. Have found myself listening to a lot of Spoon lately. For the uninitiated, their literate, minimalist approach to indie rock is unparalleled. Their roster of albums is as consistent as you'll find in all of modern rock. Their 2010 release, Transference, is the current leader in the clubhouse for The Ideological Cuddle's favorite album of the year (but faces a lot of stiff competition in the next couple months from the likes of The National, The Hold Steady, The New Pornographers, The Drive-By Truckers, and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - whose The Brutalist Bricks comes out on Tuesday 3/9/10 and sounds FANTASTIC - check out the entire album at Ted's MySpace page HERE.)
After that exceedingly long run-on sentence, I think I should get to the point - here's a great soundboard recording of Spoon live in concert that was sent my way from some fellow Spoonophiles. It's got a great mix of songs from throughout the band's career to that point and showcases songs from the recently released Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. As always, click on each song to access the downloads. Enjoy:

We here at the Ideological Cuddle are working hard to get some other live bootlegs uploaded to our server so that we can share some unreleased music with all of our faithful readers. Until then, enjoy this great Spoon concert. Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section (and I'd be impressed if anyone out there knew the medical origin of the reference in the title of this post - I'm happy to take a blog post request for anyone who correctly describes the medical cause and reason for the name - no fair Googling!!!!).
Until then, enjoy Spoon in all of their glory, and listen...
