Sister Jack

[SweaterRock1987]

Any video shot in my hometown is awesome in my book. :)

[cmrde]

The song rocks. The video is garbage.

[whitetailhunta]

where's the kittens?

[Harlan246]

If I had the resources to viably achieve such a thing, I would take every single kitten on the earth and burn them alive, just to get you all to shut up about kittens. Their little meows of pain and terror would be drowned out by me blasting this awesome song as loud as I can.

[tetrisacidbath]

@Harlan246 u mad bro?

[stefanieday]

haha the kitten video got me here too



[HashECM]

Yeah... the kitten video was really doing these guys a favor.

Idiots.

[Mikeknight2]

I think the video with 13 million views should be able to keep this

[observerking]

Hahah, Yeah that kitten video seems to be doing Sister Jack a favor...Maybe they should collaborate???

[sharonapple26]

they should let the kitty video keep this song!!

[axu303]

@mosspluse ...in bed. =)

[mosspluse]

haha I dunno what kitten video you guys are talking about, but I love Spoon and this song is fanrazmatazzstical.

<3

[axu303]

@mosspluse .... :D boo.

[mosspluse]

@axu303 I enjoy you.

[AhReeEl]

lol this. is. awesome. :D 0:49-0:54 !

[mijreed]

Let the kitten's have their song please!

[HELL0headphones]

I can just imagine how this video was developed:

"Now Britt we want you to uhh........ eat some mexican food"

[Corbon440]

Like so many others, I didn't know about the song and band before "Kitten and his box", it's a perfect example of a viral video. It also has like 100 times as many views as the original. :)

[Battlefield2Pilot]

I just realized this video is a total reference to The Clash's "Rock the Casbah" video :O

[pmdressage]

Please let the kittehs have their song back!!

[ofiniso]

I don't even know what the kitten video is...

[stayoncue]

even though i've been a fan of this band for years, i rarely watch their videos. it's probably because the songs are so strong on their own. i know they're known as an austin band, but i'm still pleasantly surprised that they're showcasing it like this. makes me homesick.

[Ninenal]

where are the kittens?

[Yavvum]

Indeed I will only remember this vid from the adorable kittens and their box vid :D Shame the song was removed but in my opinion it fit the video perfectly :)

[bitsygiggles]

you should give kitten and his box permission to use the song...only reason I came to listen.

[whitetailhunta]

WHERE'S THE FUCKING KITTENS??????....

[LicoriceWarrior]

the band is good.. but they should delete this video and buy the rights to the cat video instead. better marketing.

[LH270677]

It's quite strange to see them being a bit goofy for once. Usually they're too cool for school.

[apricotmuffins]

due to the removal of this track from that kitten and his box video, I will not be supporting spoon. I understand that it may be the record company but seriously, what the hell. it was only ever good publicity for YOU.

[stickman4EVA]

lol, I only found this awesome song cuz of that kitty vid XD

[Amnesiac2121]

These guys are going to open for Arcade Fire when I see them in ATL soon. I'm a huge, HUGE fan of Arcade Fire, but only know like A song of this band. Anyone wanna give me a quick crash course on songs to listen to before the show, so I'm not the a-hole in the front not singing along? haha

[DylanA1111]

@Amnesiac2121 I love Arcade Fire too so ill help ya out

You got yr. cherry bomb

Dont you evah

The Beast and dragon adored

Dont Make me a target

The way we get by

The Underdog

Jealousy

Those are just some of the tracks that come to mind but whatever

Arcade fire and spoon kick ass

[JamesBehrends]

i know someone who lives in those condo's now! pretty cool....

[SpaghettoStudios]

Why did the kitten vid have to switch the audio? i only looked up this vid and got into this band after that kitten one? YouTube should let users promote bands!

[2quase]

ye the kitten vid got me 2. who needs record promoters when ya'v got youtube kittens.

[messitup]

this song is still the best song for kittens with tissue box~~

[tpoucat]

It's more than a little ironic that so many people found out about this band from that kitten video, but the author of the kitten video had to change the song cause he/she didn't have permission to use this song.

[GreggandFunk]

Frost Bank Tower. 360 bridge reflection. Kittens. Enough said.

[mouse4702]

Brilliant song but the video sucks like an Electrolux. Let's face it, the kittens made this song. Respect to the kittens and their owner - he should be given credit for bringing it to a wider audience.

[WePandas]

Spoon is sooo fucking cool.

[t0enail1]

wait is spoon the mexican guys or the white guys?

[QuitFukkingLyin2us]

the Keyboard is cool, white black keys, and black white keys.

[andykins118118]

thumbs up this if you only know about it because of kitten and his box :D

[wjrfec41]

lmao i just watched that video five seconds ago and i was like "omg this is such a good song in the background!" and now im sitting here watching this vid XD

[RightKnight21]

*sings* Little kitties that make you famous, you don't like it cause your haters, on no, you take it back, sister jack ba daba da sister jack.... =^_^= purrrrrr

[RightKnight21]

Ahhhh ok I understand why they would be mad that they kiktties used their music without permission....but at least make the music video with the kitties in thier boxes!!!! The thing got like 9 million hits! I agree with Awol1208 Kitttiesssssssssssss

[awol1209]

Kitties!!!

[Groovecat68]

The song is cooler without the vid... kinda sad how often that is the case... music communicates visually by engaging the mind/heart/imagination of the listener. People should stop makin crap videos that look like they were just fucking around to satisfy a record company expectation...

[sashwap]

kind of a GBV homage

[andreboy1]

KITTENS!

[snowwolfsabertooth]

i don't like the quality of this, it's good, but a bit suffocating, like tight.

The one in the kitten and his box video is better :)

[kari12mayo]

Thank you kittens >:D

[GTADIFF]

THE OC

[whitetailhunta]

you guys have the kittens to thank for checking out this vid.

[prospectus91]

"But I can't relax, with the leaves on the ground and a stick in my back..."

Is this song about a guy who can't perform at the right moment and is nervous about the girl in question returning home from college?

[PepsiRox22]

This song will forever be remember from that amazing kitteh video :3 :3 :3

[FreeMindWill]

Yeah! I found this song on that same vid too! Definitely fits the kitty in the box vid! X3 meowrr!

[2degucitas]

The change in tempo at the end adds a nice touch of disorientation, combined with the reverse guitar playing.....just too out of the ordinary to be boring.

[jumex2185]

felicidasdes mariachis jaja

[firefly767]

love this song, i love the kitty video

this song will forever be remebered for the coming warmth of summer and the dreaded hours of procastination before finals

(l) peace!

[XxXMagistraXxX]

yeaaaah the kitty video :3 :3 :3 :3 :3

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

cool band, they should receive more recognition!

[shueln]

Yeah definatly. They play them on the chili's radio station. I used to work there, and they'd play you got yr cherry bomb a lot. It instantly brightened the shift.

[Sertrinous]

Totally!

[chrisfinest1]

Great song. I wonder why they never made it big. Well, bigger.

[VelvetRazz]

only a matter of time. then they won't be my pocket band anymore. i said that about kings of leon and now look at them!

[tranzesterradiorocks]

they're still around, i saw them in a couple months ago

[blatspanner]

it's not over yet.

[lionessg66]

Awsome band! Where have they been and why did it take a Youtube vid about KITTENS for me to find them??!!!

[filuferru]

Well mate, I totally quote you! :)

[borat4421]

@lionessg66 thats how i found about them aswell

[om3ssa]

@lionessg66 got to know spoon 7 yrs ago... and i'm hooked! peace from the azores Islands in Portuga m8s

[lionessg66]

@om3ssa thanks!

[vinnycall]

@lionessg66 Same lol omg xD

[XxKKooddyyxX]

@lionessg66 SAME HERE! I was watching the top 10 kittens vid and then I became instantly obsessed with this song!

[JadedSpray]

wooo ! thumbs up

[wasdead917]

i love spoon they are my fav band ever!

[jakobssonee]

i agree, they kinda sound like the beatles :P

[Elephantintheroom01]

What is this about?

[jimm0729]

Those sunglasses works perfectly on Britt.

[gigaz3r0]

WAY too soft, turn it up a bit.

[ziA1338]

amazing : )

[porpendeja]

what is with the nun? the lyrics have nothing to do with the sister jack chorus. any ideas?

[indiequeen024]

unless they mean "sister" as in...like...a nun

[thisisforlosers]

umm sister as in nun

[emmiibaybee19]

i love this song

[BlogWeather]

Close your eyes and picture the Beatles.

[AutumnDevi]

that was exactly what i thought with the opening and the harmonies!

[RSMaster4259]

:17

Reference to Britt Daniel's old band, Requiem =P

[wanky448]

downtown Austin! Sweet! I can see the Frost building!

[jacobphilip]

Not much special about the video, but I like the song.

[jwalk38]

wasa this filmed in downtown austin? I was in a band that used to open for them and SOUNDteam

[reptiliuca]

me encanta esta cancion!

[Praetorian308]

I want to be Britt Daniel when I grow up.

[McDopetron]

A band that doesn't get enough credit.

Also, Spoon seems to be inextricably linked to this cool little robot from Japan called Keepon: it's a little yellow foam blob that looks like a snowman with only two snowballs. And when you turn on music, it dances to the beat.

For a band being tied to Tiny Cute Yellow Dancing Japanese Robot Thingies, I would five star. But their music is nice too, at least fours worth.

[LH270677]

Any ideas who the director of the video is?.

[readitandacceptit]

When ever I ask some one if they've heard this song, they have no clue what I'm talking about! It drive my nuts!

[Tomosuburo]

these guys artn as popular as they should be

[wanky448]

kinda glad that they arent, i hate what mainstream has become these days

[LH270677]

Brit Daniel is the coolest man in Rock today.

[CaesarRedsox]

Honestly, this is a good song by a good band.

[ssdogboy]

i like the maraca guy!

sorry i don't know how to spell maraca

[freseeker]

Don't worry.

You've made it right.

[Tomosuburo]

lol

[Sandiooo]

I know that they're not, but they sound really British when they sing.

[yellowbird8]

hey i noticed that as well

its weird because Britt is from Texas

[Sandiooo]

Yeah, maybe they were influenced by Oasis or something like that...

[gongadesh]

They were influenced oddly enough by the Pixies. They're first record sounds alot more like them then this one.

[gustephens11]

this song is sweet

[eightswans]

I like that The Clash graffiti is this...pretty awesome!

[mmkkhh13]

0:05-0:06  haha

[PepsiRox22]

Amazing video i love this song

[yamazaro]

lol..at 2'04,drummer's playing a stool

[Tomosuburo]

ALGEBRAIC! =)

[TheCrippledSilence]

Britt is the man. This is my favorite of their videos because it seems like they're all having such a good time. But I must say the Mexican guy on the mariachis totally makes the whole video, especially right at the beginning of the guitar solo where he lets the distortion flow out of his mouth. That guy's got talent.

[Lindejolash]

Great video and music, but poor volume lol

[RevolutionnX]

I saw Spoon for the first time on Austin City Limits and thought they were really good. This was one of the songs they did.

[tjack1516]

damn BillBilliard does his homework. we need to hang-out bro. i dig his guitar. i don't think he uses any other guitar.

[vainguitarist]

hahahahhaha he uses two different guitars in this video

[rcmcneal]

i first really listened to spoon after i heard sister jack on a commercial even though iTunes offered me to listen to them several times

i should listen to iTunes more often..

[hawkoallday]

this guy WAS my school bully

look who is laughing now, retard..

[naatee]

You're laughing because he's in a successful band?

[BillBillard]

that guitar was made in ltd ed by a scottish guitar company called Zeep-Zap in the '60s they made guitars for hendrix and lennon and were world renowned for quality. they were bought out by a big american company and this model was discontinued because the logo of the two "Zs" looked like the "SS" of the nazis and the brand wasn't considered "viable" as a mass-market product.

[BillBillard]

a few months ago some canadian dude inherited one from his deceased uncle in slovania and sold it on ebay for 75 USD... it's appraised value was over 25, 000.00 USD! that story made the times special feature on "e-bay gold"

[denuvian]

a winner is you

[mnchick129]

britt always had great guitars!!! anyone happen to know what he's playing here?

[jannesoosterwijk]

They kinda sound like the beatles.. but then a 2006 version of it...

[peanutbutterandjulie]

I met Britt Daniel once. He's steamy.

[07kje07]

ah, lucky, he's adorable

[Rataruebix]

I went to a party on that parking garage. This song is dope!

[ToontownFan175]

the main guy who sings with out the glasses looks like my bully... (im not making fun)

[weirdtimp17]

He looks like a gay kid at my school that got expelled for telling a kid that he was going to rape him in the ass till he bled.

[jesuitprepboy]

thats pretty fucked up man..

[ianmacdougall]

anyone notice how this video is a copy of the clash's rock the casbah video? almost exactly

[hogcontroller]

That's because the Clash video was filmed around Austin by Don Letts. The live footage of the Clash is in the long gone Austin City Colisseum.

[banezah]

haha, the kitties video is awesome. ^^

[ToontownFan175]

you mean the kitten in the box, yeah

[BlackVelvet22]

i first heard this song in a video about 3 kitties and a tissues box :D i liked it so much i had to have it

[jtno2]

LOL! Same here. Spoon should pay a commission to the person that made that video.

[matiaspasch]

does anybody have a video of their acl tv performance, it would be tight

[HDrambo]

HA HA Hunter yeah he totally rocks!

[careykelley]

hunter darby is hot in drag.

[JeanReno98]

Man they should have shot the video in Dallas ... but as long there from Texas! I hope they get  big

[matthewerickson]

I really like Spoon videos, obviously not as much as their music, but I really thought they could have done a better video. The only thing I don't like about it is when Britt is singing into the camera. It has the feel of a "music video director" calling the shots instead of something either a friend of theirs, or they themselves, would have come up with. But, I would rather see a not-so-cool video to a great song than a great video to a shitty song.

[WatanabeSakura]

YESSSSS! I love this song and it does remind me of the beatles. Now I must name my puppy "sister jack"

Must listen to more spoon! ^____^

[Gwen2009]

spoon is so fine !!!

[benbear76131]

stranger than fiction had alot of their songs.

i picked this one for my band development class to learn.lol it was alot of fun.

[Fruth37]

Kitten and his box is a better video!

[musicislife41791]

th eone in stranger than fiction is "I turn my camera on"

[qimetal]

what is the name of that song on stranger than fiction? the one will ferrel is playing on guitar in the movie to that girl...

[Axis777]

Hey. The name of the song Will plays in the movie is "Whole Wide World" by Wreckless Eric. Just thought you'd like to know...

[Axis777]

Previous comment was directed towards "qimetal" & "musicislife's" comments...

[wildflowers323]

BEST SONG I HAVE EVER FREAKING HEARD... they sound like the beatles <3 ++ drop dead hillarious video. LOVE IT!!!

[FMAiscool]

aww where's the cute kitties??? =,[

[eburn]

This song is so cool.

Greetings from Chile.

[craziarteest]

well im an official idiot

[craziarteest]

looks like the guy from spoon

[Karaokeloverjen]

This song was in the background of a video of a kitten stuck in a box, and it's a cool song!

[chocochip2000]

i saw that video! :D

[cristinaMARTIN]

les amo!

[hebertpata]

el german is in the house

[ivehadenough921]

[JBGUY2K]

[jazymundo]

[themysterycow]

I'm digging the Clash references.

[pjw2000]

[phlymo]

[jordanrule]

[koolkabron91]

[essahomes]
