Spoon! Love 'em? Sure you do. And fancy this: Spoon love you too. About to "dish out" that "Sister Jack" single (November 8, Mr. antsy-pants) we reported on last week, Spoon will be crossing the country to "stir up" refined mayhem with their taunt, pitch-perfect guitar pop. Starting today!

The 21-day jaunt kicks off in Memphis and sees Britt Daniel & his merry retinue rubbing shoulders (and quite possibly post-gig spooning??) with the likes of Mary Timony, Bright Eyes, American Music Club, and yes, Super Diamond, who are in fact a Neil Diamond cover band. I'd insert some hysterically snide remark here, but that pretty much speaks for itself.
