Britt Daniel: I’m gonna tear you a new one!!

Looks like someone’s got a really brutal case of the copycats.

I was watching this new show called The Main on Food Network this week, mostly because I think chef Anthony Sedlak is a supercutie, and I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of hybrid accent he has (Boston? Canadian? Prairies? His bio says he’s from Vancouver, so who knows).

Anyway, as I tucked into the show I noticed an immediate adoration for the show’s theme song, and thought to myself, wow, since when does the Food Network get cool indie bands from Austin, Texas to lend their music to TV show theme songs?? Namely, how cool is it that Spoon let FoodTV use I Turn My Camera On for the intro? I freaking love that song!

But no. As soon as the vocals kick in, I realized it was NOT Spoon, but someone else. The show’s credits revealed that the song is an ‘original production’ by a company called Lenz Entertainment.

Please listen to both songs and tell me that The Main’s theme song isn’t a note for note, break for break, blatant copy of 2004′s I Turn My Camera On? Spoon’s fan message boards certainly agree. Britt Daniel’s gonna be hella pissed when he finds out about this!

I wish I could splice the two or really put them side by side, but Food Network’s player is a little tricky.
