We blinked and missed Spoon’s semi-private free show here last week, but we did mysteriously acquire the first single off their fourth Merge full-length, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. “The Ghost of You Lingers” (mp3) is pure Spoon, but different, of course. All Casio-mash 80’s vibe and reverb vox, first Britt’s in our left ear -HEY, wait!- now he’s in our right ear! How’d he do dat!? You officially have your awesome, rest-of-the-day song. Go!

Fun Fact: The above cover art has been photoshopped without the express written consent of Spoon or Harvey Comics.

Additional Fun Fact: “Ghost” was originally titled “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” (7 in all) but then changed to “The Ghost of You Lingers.” The album is now Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (a measly 5 in all).

• UPDATE: Save bunny, or else you’re cryin’ yerself to sleep tonight.
