Backwards Spoon Myth Denounced

Reader Mary writes in:

Spoon and Longwave played a free concert in Boston this evening at the Hatch Shell along the Charles River. ... Following the concert, FNX Radio held an after party at The Grand Canal in Boston. Joshua Zarbo was the only Spoon member to show up, but of course, with a few Stella Artois under the belt, I felt inclined to ask him about all of the Stereogum buzz today.Though amused by the suggestion/blog gossip that Gimme Fiction tracks were intended to be played in the reverse order (he said, "what are we, the beatles?"), he confirmed, without question, that this was not true. Gimme Fiction is meant to be as it is -- front to back.I'm afraid the Austin hipster has led us all astray!

Thanks Mary. Although, if you play that Clap You Hands CD backwards...
