NP - ACL: The Best of Spoon

[David Morris]

Live music beacon Austin City Limits <http://acltv.com/> (ACL) spotlights
one of modern rock’s premier bands, Austin’s own Spoon, with The Best of
Spoon. The career-spanning hour offers a fascinating look at the acclaimed
band’s evolution from their debut on the series in 2003 to the recent
present via highlights from the four-time ACL veterans. The broadcast
premieres Saturday, January 30 at 8pm CT/9pm ET, as part of the iconic
series Season 46. The episode will be available to music fans everywhere to
stream online beginning Sunday, January 31 @10am ET at
pbs.org/austincitylimits. With live music on hold, ACL continues to provide
viewers a front-row seat to the best in performance. The program airs
weekly on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings for times
<http://acltv.com/watch/tv-schedule/>) and full episodes are made available
online for a limited time at pbs.org/austincitylimits immediately following
the initial broadcast. Viewers can visit acltv.com for news regarding

Spoon emerged in the early aughts and Austin City Limits is proud to
present highlights from the band’s multiple appearances on the program over
two decades. Pitchfork hails them as “one of the most stand-up bands of
their generation” and as Rolling Stoneraves of their twenty-five year
streak: “It’s just been one long stretch of slow-build greatness.” The
14-song, career-wide hour is a master-class from a band that has inspired
legions of diehard fans and made it strictly on its own terms: jagged
guitar, tight melodies and killer hooks, as frontman Britt Daniels’
indelible vocals fuse with drummer Jim Eno’s impeccable beats to create a
sound all their own.
