They had the smelly crowd, the long, meandering solos... the whole bit. (Shades of the Flaming Lips-crossover phenomenon?) At the time I was a little too tired to pay attention, but in another mood might have been into it as I'm not above stoning out on raging guitar jams. Once their endless live version of Cortez The Killer on a jukebox bent my mind severely so, y'know... I'm definitely not opposed to them. Although his voice has never helped matters for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112087.post-39280373369569429642006-08-29T10:28:00.000-04:002006-08-29T10:28:00.000-04:00I could never really get into Built to Spill eithe...I could never really get into Built to Spill either. For me, I think it's because I prefer things to be a little sloppy and lo-fi. Built to Spill are tight and polished, and they're not afraid of guitar acrobatics - something that's often frowned upon in the indie world.<br /><br />That said, there's something to be said for pure skill, and BTS definitely have that...or at least they used to...and I'm speaking only about studio talent because I've never seen them live.<br /><br />I'm going to and looking forward to the show in Burlington. I suppose there's a chance it'll be an hour and a half of show-offy alt-rock...so I'm approaching it as an opportunity to be blown away by some tight, intricate rock & roll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14112087.post-48771839183290232922006-08-28T18:11:00.000-04:002006-08-28T18:11:00.000-04:00Thanks for the mention, i'm honored.
