...closing the door. We had one reunion. We did a live album. I did try and do another one in the studio. But the thing about it then is, it's been so much time--1979 until now. If we don't do something that's a thousand times better than the last time we recorded, that's a scary place to be. I don't want to destroy the myth. If I thought it was possible, I'd do it. I'm not saying I'll never do it, but we did try, and it didn't work...
...alas, the movement appears to have entered its baroque phase. Consider Mina's preposterous fish. There's no doubt that poaching a fish in seawater produces an effect different from that of salted tap water, or broth, or whatever. But they had to fly that water a thousand miles in a jet plane to get it to Vegas! What can be more unnatural than that?

Six albums in, Spoon suddenly had consistent radio play and record sales, and more than just music...
