hey im dodging an essay right now. yeah so this is Carry The Zero by Built to Spill. i guess ive been drifting more towards lucid sounds, but this song is just great. he isnt an amazing singer, but it's okay. the content of the words is worth more than how they're sung, as cliche as that sounds.
thinkin about it, they arent that deep. im not maybe not sure why i like it, but it's pretty great. check it out, and drop me a comment since ur already here.

Sorry I took so long. You can come back from your libraries, your ultimate source for intellectual stimulation has returned! Felt like posting another "review" of a show I went to in gainesville florida recently. Built to Spill was there with the meat puppets and helvetia. sadly, I could not arrive in time to see either opener but I made it midway into bts's set. and what a set. it was quite...dashboard...thesaurus widget...does not give good enough words...thesaurus.com...

With the invention of the ipod, did you overlook any cds in your first run at loading it up, and then think to yourself years later, "whatever happened to that song/cd I use to love?"
I did...and recently unpacking a box with my cds, I found this gem, and thought, "what the heck was I thinking when I was loading up cds onto my ipod? How could I not load this one up?"
I'm glad I went looking.

If there is any place to start for me, it Built to Spill, a band (really a man, our hero, Doug) that speaks to me on the most simple yet direct level of communication. There are dozens of songs, live and studio, that provide a full dose of BTS. Check out the nearly 9-minute jam Goin' Against Your Mind as little taste of what you get. Close your eyes and listen to that guitar work. Beware - Doug's voice is most def in the Neil Young school of tone. Then try Stop the Show, C... MORE

Did you ever have one of those songs hit you, and just kind of connect everything you had been feeling about a certain situation but never could put your finger on it? The contempt I now feel for Classic Rock radio's generic play lists and rotation killing ways have made me listen to CD's or talk radio while in the car. The fact that so many artists can be so narrowly represented by the medium is infuriating. The fact that once beautiful songs are now over played fossil... MORE

Okay, my BtSlife. Because, I definitely haven't had the knowledge of them my entire life. after the show Brooke and I were like, wow, mellow crowd. It really was. Not sold out (tear) not much singing along. But that could be because Brooke and I were so close that our ears were ringing afterwards, and Doug's vocals were nearly impossible to hear. however. it's not the end of the world, because so much BtS is just instruments. And that's part of why I love them. But I cou... MORE

Built to Spill is the best group that everyone's heard of but not many actually follow. Doug Martsch is the best guitarist actively recording today.

I've been a listening to Built To Spill since sometime after they released their 1999 album Keep It Like A Secret, a relatively short time compared to their 15 years spent together, but not too bad for a boy from Toronto – a city that Built To Spill has left out of their tour roster until now. And over the past three albums, they've slowly become one of my all-time favourite bands. Both Keep It Like A Secret and Ancient Melodies Of The Future are brilliant albums, and ... MORE

If he keeps writing posts about his boring life we’ll close the account. Just make it look like ... MORE
