The fact of the matter is, in my humble humble opinion, anything Built to Spill does is fantastic. I don&#39;t even really feel right making this entry as my bf is the bigger fan and is entirely responsible for introducing them to me. I&#39;d really love to do them justice here, but I don&#39;t even know where to begin really.</p> <p>The songs I chose to post are two of my favorite. Not just off the album, but in life. Heh. The feelings they evoke for me cannot be described. I&#39;ll just simply say I love them. Now enough about me and more about the awesomeness that is Built To Spill.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00cd970e4cda4cd500cd973961a44cd5" at:format="medium" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-medium audio-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item audio-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://weheartmusic.vox.com/library/audio/6a00cd970e4cda4cd500cd973961a44cd5.html"><img src="http://a4.vox.com/6a00cd970e4cda4cd500cd973961a44cd5-200pi" alt="Built to Spill - Big Dipper" title="Built to Spill - Big Dipper" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://weheartmusic.vox.com/library/audio/6a00cd970e4cda4cd500cd973961a44cd5.html" title="Built to Spill - Big Dipper">Built to Spill - Big Dipper</a></div> <div class="enclosure-asset-subtitle overflow-hidden">Built to Spill</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00cd970e4cda4cd500d41440f0c2685e" at:format="medium" at:align="right" class="enclosure enclosure-right enclosure-medium audio-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: right;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item audio-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://weheartmusic.vox.com/library/audio/6a00cd970e4cda4cd500d41440f0c2685e.html"><img src="http://a2.vox.com/6a00cd970e4cda4cd500d41440f0c2685e-200pi" alt="Built To Spill - Car" title="Built To Spill - Car" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://weheartmusic.vox.com/library/audio/6a00cd970e4cda4cd500d41440f0c2685e.html" title="Built To Spill - Car">Built To Spill - Car</a></div> <div class="enclosure-asset-subtitle overflow-hidden">Built to Spill</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>Where to begin! Gosh, well I&#39;ll just write what I know (and it truly isn&#39;t much) I know that they&#39;ve been around since &#39;92. I&#39;m not exactly sure how well known they are or how popular they truly are. They never seemed to get the fame that bands such as Modest&#160;Mouse got (who are heavely influenced by BTS by the way). No MTV play and what not. Atleast, not to my knowledge, then again, like I said, I know not much.&#160;I know they are considered one of the greatest indie rock bands of all time. Heh, was that an overexagerration? Well, actually when they&#160;recorded<span style="color: #c050c9"> Perfect From Now On </span>they were already signed to Warner Bros. That&#39;s not very &quot;indie&quot; but who cares, the album was awesome Lol.</p> <p>At a June 3 &#39;06 show they dedicated&#160;&quot;Car&quot; to&#160;Andy Capps who was also a former band member and&#160;had just recently died. Guess it has even more significance now.&#160;</p> <p>Well, I really wish I&#160;had the&#160;journalistic muscle to write more, but the fact of the matter is, I am not a rock journalist. Heh, I know none of&#160;us really are, but I love when someone does an incredible entry and it just seems so professional.&#160;Sorry folks, but if you&#39;d like to know more about the band I&#39;ll just leave some links below. </p> <p>Adios,</p> <p><a href="http://www.daftpansy.vox.com">Emelia</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.builttospill.com">Official Site</a>&#160;\ <a href="http://www.myspace.com/builttospill">MySpace</a> \ <a>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built_to_Spill&quot;&gt; Wikipedia</a>&#160;</p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://weheartmusic.vox.com/library/post/built-to-spill---theres-nothing-wrong-with-love.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00cd970e4cda4cd500d09e7b420cbe2b?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> built to spill doug martsch emelia there's nothing wrong with love
