Hi Jonah,

On behalf of Merge Records and Spoon, many thanks for plugging “Transference” on your site (street date 18th Jan UK / 19th Jan US) … .. thanks, also, on behalf of the label and artist for not posting any pirate links to unreleased / newly released (studio) material and, if you / your readers want good quality, non-pirated, preview tracks, then a full length version of “Written in Reverse” is available for fans and bloggers to post / host / share etc at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120830261&ps=bb2 … .. for further details of the new album, on-line promotions, videos and 2010 shows, check-out the band’s official site at http://www.spoontheband.com and keep an eye on official sources for details of further Spoon news, preview material and on-line promotions.

As a special, New Year’s gesture to fans and bloggers, an exclusive preview stream of the full album is now available via NPR Music’s Exclusive First Listen series at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122279793 … .. this is for hyper-linking ONLY and for streaming by fans directly off NPR, so please reciprocate this goodwill gesture by NOT ripping or embedding these files.

Thanks again for your plug.

Regards,
