My first case study of 2019 goes into my favorite band, Austin-born rock outfit Spoon, and what’s considered to be their worst album, Transference. While it’s a frustrating listen at first, there’s definitely more hiding under the surface. What exactly? Let’s find out…

(Also from here on out, my case studies will be under the name EXAMINING. Still the same kind of videos, just under one series name.)

Do you agree? Disagree? Wanna call me a nerd for having a section specifically dedicated to baroque opera? Have a suggestion for what I should cover next? Let me know in the comments!
