Austin-fave Spoon is coming to town for three shows next week and LAist has two pairs of tickets for all of you fans that love bouncing to Gimme Fiction.
If you’d like to get access to the SOLD OUT show on September 11 at the Henry Fonda Theater, just tell us your favorite lyric from any track (e.g., My boots are on the mend/And they ain't walking home from "Black Like Me") on the band’s latest album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, and blow us away by explaining its profound significance to you. The deadline for entering the contest will be 11 pm on Sunday night. You have to be a registered commenter in order to be eligible so we can notify the winners.
Note that a small number of tickets are still available for the Wednesday, September 12 show.
While you ponder whether it’s “The Ghost of You Lingers” or “Don’t You Evah” which strikes you more deeply, amuse yourself with this video clip of the wildly popular Keepon robot bouncing around to “I Turn My Camera On”.

Petals getting picked
with the love-yous
and the love-you-nots
(from "Don't you evah")
why? because that's some deep childhood shit, man...
Someone that I knew but I hardly met
Told me it's hopeless I'm a slut for the New York Times
i'm not a slut for the NY times, but kind of for the NY post, which means i'm not very well read, but definitely up on my celeb gossip.
Every morning I've got a new chance
I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
Cause he gets to swordfight the duke
He kidnaps the queen
And you think the score's set but you can't truly see
Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
I am monsieur valentine.

I was dreaming in the driver's seat
When the right words just came to me
And all my finer feelings came up
(from finer feelings)
this exact thing happened to me before, and its a good thing that "all my finer feelings came up"
"We go through all the same lines or sell out to appease/But go to sleep in a bed of lies/I made my own more than once or twice/And now time is my time, time is my own/And I feel so alive yet feel so alone/'Cause you know you're the one and that that hasn't changed/Since you were nineteen and still in school/Waiting on a light on the corner by Sound Exchange."
from "Anything You Want"
Truer words have never been spoken (or in this case, sung).
