I think there's also a contemporary band called "Spoon", so I default to a definite article to mark the imperative Spoons band. I think you’re right, Steve.

Of course, I could be wrong about that.

That boombox. WTF? On the other hand, props to the drummer for not even pretending to play along. So much to cringe over.
