Earlier this morning it was Kate from Toronto on the Broken Social Scene beat. Here, a reader named Renee witnessed new Spoon during the band’s three-night “SpoonX3″ hometown stand at Austin’s Stubb’s (7/9-11) and thought to forward the details (thanks, readers). The new songs were “I Saw The Light” and “Mystery Zone” plus “I Love Forever?” We have proof of the latter: It’s labeled “Is Love” on YouTube, but as Renee points out, according to Britt Daniel’s setlist, the proper name’s “Is Love Forever?” Is it, Britt? Daniel’s drenched in blue here, but the song’s upbeat. It sounds like more chaotic, dubbed-out early Joe Jackson. Those in attendance dig it. And as you can tell by that thumbnail, Daniel really gets into it, too.
Renee notes that they also did “Got Nuffin’,” “Who Makes Your Money,” and “Written in Reverse,” or whatever those post-Ga tracks are called at this moment.

I like this song a lot. Great sound quality.
this is pretty good quality considering…
i know nothing on the subject, but i get the feeling that this is probably because the bass is cut. makes for a clear sounding recording but i sure do love me some bass. i have a feeling it was an important part of this song too.
it’s not that the bass is cut – it’s actually that they are all playing guitar. rob pope has a mustang for some reason or another
Mustang Bass actually.
you sure? i swear i can see 6 tuners across that headstock – i also could just be seeing things…
It is a guitar. I remember it being passed to Britt for the next song, which was pretty much the only time he wasn’t playing that beautiful Gibson.
Anyway, this show was fucking amazing. Though I felt a little bad for Bradford, as it was kinda clear he had hastily thrown together a set that just didn’t turn out well. The crowd was being kind of mean to him, but he soldiered on.
Its a Squier Duosonic. Mustangs have 3 pickups.
When they introduced this song at Scoot Inn, I couldn’t stop laughing, the title is pretty hilarious. I love the song, but when I head the title I just think, “Really?”
Yes! I can’t wait for their next album. I’ve completed my Spoon discography and i’m itching for more!
I can’t wait for a full album release. All these songs are looking great to me.
great show! the after party band was The Low Lows and they were amazing…
Give a Progress Report on this Stereogum!
i love this new song and i’m about to die over how good that set list is…. oh my god
