I mean this more in the sense that there are certain songs they don't play - those are ones they didn't prepare, either cuz they figured they weren't popular/good/recent enough or cuz they would be hard to present live. I think you can argue that it takes more effort to put together a single set and work on it over time. Coldplay is a great example of that. They played virtually the same set every night of their last tour, but the idea behind that was to make changes to it until it flowed as smoothly as possible - basically, use each show as a experiment to make the rest of the shows better. Then again, they also had three stages and had to coordinate when they were going to move between them and what instruments/set up they would need in each place anyway. When I saw them, there was definitely a sense of progression or overall construction to what they were doing. So it's a trade-off: either figure out how to effectively play a different set each night, or put together one set and make sure it kicks ass.

I heard them say before about never playing the same set twice. That takes a lot of effort to change it up. They could just learn some songs they feel comfortable with and play them each night. Gabriel on "How does Spoon create a set list?" http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/topic/how-does-spoon-create-a-set-list#post-3144 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 21:16:56 +0000 Gabriel 3144@http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/ That was really interesting. I laughed at Britt's comment on playing the same setlist multiple times. I never suspected they thought hard about their setlists; they seemed sort of thrown together to me (an impression I get even more from Modest Mouse). Good to see there is some reason behind the rhyme. Still, starting a set with Chicago At Night seems a little... unenergetic, I guess. I always figured the first song was meant to pump the audience up.

Love the attitude. It's one of my favorites. I like them all really. I've been into "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" a lot. It has Noel's best songwriting in my opinion. And it also has the BEST B-Sides. I have all their singles. "Let's All Make Believe" "One Way Road" and "(As Long As They've Got Cigarettes) In Hell" are amazing. I think Oasis has the best B-sides of any band. My opinion. nefarious on "Britt on the cover of the *Spin*" http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/topic/britt-on-the-cover-of-the-rolling-stone#post-2697 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 21:50:45 +0000 nefarious 2697@http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/ Nope, Gnome, that is a Simpsons me!

I adore Telephono, no matter what that guy Britt says. What's he know anyway?! And yes, I pretty much wore out my copy of it in my car. Mj on "Britt on the cover of the *Spin*" http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/topic/britt-on-the-cover-of-the-rolling-stone#post-2694 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 17:18:39 +0000 Mj 2694@http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/ My fave Oasis would have to be "Definitely Maybe". The attitude on it is hard to beat. A lot of first records are the ones with the most sass and swagger because they ARE the first. And the band is young and the energy is crazy mad. I also love "Telephono". The vocals are pretty bad ass and it rocks. I find myself washing dishes to it a lot--ha.

Telephono is a great driving record. A great record period. Even though Britt doesn't like it that much. That makes me like it more I think haha. Kind of like Oasis, one of my favorite bands. Noel Gallagher despises "Be Here Now" and will not play any song from it. And did not put any song from that album on their "best of". But it's like my favorite Oasis album!!! For some reason an artists' piece of work that they are not fond of intrigues me. Why?

Still one of the best albums to drive to while singing along. Is your prof pic a 'Simpsons' Tina Fey? Nice... nefarious on "Britt on the cover of the *Spin*" http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/topic/britt-on-the-cover-of-the-rolling-stone#post-2681 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:35:37 +0000 nefarious 2681@http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/ I did that on purpose, Gnome.

Thanks for those 31starbright. So is Britt also on the cover of RS? 31starbright on "Britt on the cover of the *Spin*" http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/topic/britt-on-the-cover-of-the-rolling-stone#post-2665 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 01:41:07 +0000 31starbright 2665@http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/ Hey Gnomesain, you might wanna change the subject title for this topic just so people don't get the wrong idea about which magazine he's on.

Interesting how Britt's on the cover. I've only seen the My Chemical Romance and Billie Armstrong covers. Time to go hunt it down. Gnomesain on "Britt on the cover of the *Spin*" http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/topic/britt-on-the-cover-of-the-rolling-stone#post-2661 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:31:59 +0000 Gnomesain 2661@http://msgboard.spoontheband.com/ Surprised I didn't see this here yet, but was stuck in O'Hare for a loooong time the other day and decided to get a Spin and RS to kill some time, and was blown away when I grabbed a Spin with that guy from My Chemical Valentine on the cover to reveal the copy behind it had... Britt holding a Kinks record (with a cig in his mouth!). Inside they have a bunch of artists interviewing similar/influential artist, in this case Britt interviewing Ray Davies from the Kinks. Not as long or sweet of an interview as I would have liked, but fun reading to be sure. VERY cool to see him on the cover like that, and I hope it helps them pack all of their tour to sold-out status. Seattle 4/10 woo-hoo!!!
