The Forking Spoonfan Wiki (Spoonman Fan Club)

G'day guys, editor Sam here.

As some of you may know, 2MMM is having a bit of a reshuffle starting next week with the new brekky show, The Grill Team starting on Monday. As KG and Andrew have been keeping you up to date with, there is a possibility of bringing back The Spoonman at this time, because he is still working at TripleM Sydney, and his old timeslot is still vacant. Unfortunately, we have not heard anything relating to a possible return of late, and we wish to send a message to the muddled managers at TripleM that Spoony was a legend, and we want him back.

So, we have a plan. On TripleM at nights, there is another awesome show, Ugly Phil. Now every Friday night, he plays "TripleM's most wanted", basically you can call, text and email in song requests that he'll play that night.

So, the plan is this: We need you all to request a song. It's probably fairly obvious which one, but the song we shall be requesting is called Spoonman, and it's by Soundgarden (off the Superunknown record). Part of that song was Spoony's intro theme. So, any time between 7pm and 10pm this Friday (the 14th) it would be great if you could text into TripleM (19991049) with something like "Spoonman - Soundgarden", or call up if you're in Sydney (133353), or you can email Phil with song requests before or during the show on Friday ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

I've dropped part of the plan to Garfield, i'm not sure if he caught the whole thing, but we hope this will show MMM management how much we want The Spoonman back, when they get lots of requests for this song. We can't guarantee this will work, but we've gotta try something, and now is the best time to do it.

Thanks in advance to everyone who participates - and if you know anyone else who used to listen to The Spoonman, it's be great if you could pass this on, and we're also trying to get a tweet circulating around twitter to inform everyone, too. If you can help spreading this info or request the song, that would be awesome.

Massive thanks to all the admins on The Spoonman Fan Club: Andrew, KG, and Nathan, for doing such a great job with the site, and keeping everyone up to date.

Cheers, Sam.
