| Is the 'spoonman' on Dubnobasswithmyheadman the same one as the | one on Superunknown by Soungarden? I know that there is a man in | Ny that is known as the spoonman... Artis the Spoonman is a Seattle local street artist. He's the one on Pearl Jam's "Spoonman," although I haven't heard that track. Since Soundgarden is a Seattle band, I would assume that "Superunknown" is also Artis. I doubt that the NY spoonman is the same, unless Artis has visited there in his new-found "fame." Artis has a solo CD out with backing support from another local Seattle band (who are actually very good) - Sadhappy. In addition to street performances, Artis has also played Bumberdrum at Bumbershoot, and I'm sure a lot of the other concerts like Lallapaloosa (I suppose). I have no idea about Underworld. They could have sampled any of the above or even convinced Artis to play with them if they've been to Seattle.
