Spoon In-Store Galore

Every once in a while Virgin Megastore Union Square swoops in out out of nowhere and books an amazing live in-store performance. Travis in 2001, The Shins in 2003, and now...Spoon! For those of you, like me, who cannot abide Webster Hall, this is your chance to see the band for free in a much more pleasant environment. The show is scheduled for Tuesday 10 May at 6pm, and coincides with the release that same day of their new album, Gimme Fiction, copies of which the band will be signing after their performance.

Perhaps not as earthshattering, but also worth noting, are two other events this month at Virgin Union Square:

On Thursday 5 May at 5pm Thurston Moore will do a signing and Q&A in support of his book Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture.

And on Thursday 19 May at 6pm Aimee Mann will perform live.
