I Want Bob Boilen's Job

Bob Boilen has the coolest job.  As current host and creator of NPR's online music show All Songs Considered, he gets to sift through new music, attend concerts and essentially review whatever he wants.  All Songs frequently posts live concert recordings from one of my favorite spots, DC's 9:30 Club.  If you're Bob Boilen, incredible, serendipitous things happen to you at the 9:30 Club.  In one of his latest blog entries, Bob talks about how he bumped into one of his "music-industry" friends who whisked him off to her car to hear Spoon's new album Transference.  He describes Spoon's latest endeavor as "surprisingly detailed"  and is eager for its release next year.  Me too.  I want sneak first listens...  and Bob Boilen's job.

Here's the track list:

Before Destruction
I Love Forever?
The Mystery Zone
Who Makes Your Money?
Written in Reverse
I Saw the Light
Trouble Comes Running
Goodnight Laura
Out Go the Lights
Got Nuffin
Nobody Get Me But You
