Spoon - I've Been Good Too Long - Suggestions

Album

Gimme Fiction is the fifth studio album by American indie rock band Spoon, released on May 10, 2005 by Merge Records. It debuted at number 44 on the Billboard 200. "I Turn My Camera On" was released as a single, and has become one of the band's biggest hits to date.

A deluxe reissue of the album was released on December 11, 2015 to commemorate its 10th anniversary.

Background

Britt Daniel began working on songs for Spoon's follow-up album to Kill the Moonlight in early 2003 when he received a letter from David Klowden in which he offered to let Daniel use his beach house if he wanted to "go on another writing stint".

Daniel drove to Ocean Beach in San Diego and started writing songs for the next album in a small house that overlooked the ocean. He stayed there for a number of weeks and recalls working a lot but not feeling happy with the output of his work there.

Before the title Gimme Fiction was decided on, the album was going to be named The Beast and Dragon, Adored after the opening track, but Daniel later decided that he did not like this title. Daniel decided he wanted to use the word "gimme" in the title of the album and thought that "Gimme Fiction" was a great title for the artwork. He also has stated that the album cover is his favorite to date.

The title of the opening track, "The Beast and Dragon, Adored", came from an art magazine which Daniel found at his grandmother's house that contained a tapestry called "The Apocalypse: The Beast and Dragon Are Adored".

Nella versione deluxe è presente, nel secondo disco in versione home demo, la canzone qui proposta I've Been Good Too Long. Non si hanno notizie di versioni live nè chiaramente di video ufficiali.
