Spoon recently released reissues of Telephono and Soft Effects:
"The Merge Records re-release of Telephono and Soft Effects is now out and available in stores and online. Telephono was Spoon's first album, released in April of 1996 and the Soft Effects EP followed shortly after in January of 1997. Out of print for nearly five years, both releases are presented here re-mastered in one specially priced deluxe package with the restored artwork and Brett Vapnek's video for 'Not Turning Off.' Soft Effects is still the preferred release of many a Spoon insider; listen closely enough to the nooks and crannies of this EP and you will hear the genesis sound of many Spoon records to come."

Recently at Pitchfork:
"Monster's Ball/Finding Neverland director Marc Forster's new movie Stranger Than Fiction couldn't have a more fitting title. Sure it features Will Ferrell as an IRS agent having his life narrated by Emma Thompson, who thinks she's finishing her next novel, but what's really important is a tiny credit at the end of the trailer linked below. Look closely and you'll see, 'Music by: Britt Daniel.'" [Pitchfork]
