This week’s song of the week comes to us from the same musical hot spot as last week’s selection, Austin Texas.  It is as if that place has some kind of happening music scene.  Who knew?

Spoon’s album “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga”, which, despite what you may think, is not a tribute to our beloved 4th state, has been a spirit lifting addition to the rotation here in the McRoberts household.  Any of the songs from this record are worth featuring, but for the sake of keeping with my title, I’d suggest checking out “The Underdog.”

Spoon has a way of making quirky music that keeps its vibe and avoids being awkward.  The Underdog has an almost Billy Joel-esque character to it without taking us all the way back to Allentown.   Of course, any song with studio-recorded hand-clapping makes it to my “heavy rotation” list immediately.
