Spoon Record With Jon Brion, Party With Flavor Flav

Spoon with…?
Spoon Record With Jon Brion, Party With Flavor Flav As you prepare to go ga-ga and then some over the new Spoon album, know this: a certain instrument-hopping showman extraordinaire known as Jon Brion has produced one of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga's tracks.

No, it's not "You Got Yr Cherry Bomb", nor "Don't You Evah", nor "Black Like Me". It's the most boringly-titled track on the disc: "The Underdog". Seriously, guys, given the other titles, "The Underdawg" wouldn't have been overdoing it. But anyway.

Longtime Spoon producer Mike McCarthy (Gimme Fiction, Kill the Moonlight, Girls Can Tell) helmed the rest of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga's ten tracks. The album hits the streets July 10 via Merge.

In tangentially related news: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Spoon find their own flavor of love on a short U.S. tour that kicks off late next month.
