Spoon Unearth ‘Lines in the Suit’ Demo for ‘Girls Can Tell’ Anniversary
Spoon have unearthed their 1999 demo for “Lines in the Suit,” a track off 2001’s Girls Can Tell , to mark the 20th anniversary of the Austin band’s third studio album. Unlike its polished album version, the home demo for “Lines in the Suit – 30 Minutes Old” finds the track in its embryonic form; as suggested by its title, the track was recorded just half an hour after Britt Daniel conceived of the song, giving the demo an unsteady feel. “ Girls Can Tell was the Hail Mary pass that absolutely no one thought was gonna find a receiver.

That’s not really true. In fact, Spectre ‘s record-breaking performance is directly attributable to an aggressive campaign by Sony to market the film in the territory. It is not an accident how strongly Spectre finished its opening weekend, even though the series has traditionally underperformed in the world’s No. 2 market, where Skyfall finished with a China gross of $59M.
