Daniel Robert Epstein: Built to Spill

thanks for that. i actually went to high school here in portland with scott, the drummer and his brother, steve, who is the drummer for the wipers. just had to say that so i look cool. j/k

really the new album is incredible and these guys do sell out shows (multiple shows) wherever they go. if you haven't checked them out you better get on it.

and really live is the best way to see them because the guitars are just amazing. layered and loud. it's beautiful.

great fucking interview daniel...one of the best i've read from him in a long while including their fan-zine.

We have three flavors of ice cream.. chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. That's all.

woo-hoo!....when I was little someone pointed out to me.....

damn. i can't believe i missed the pdx and seattle shows. i am kicking myself.

I just saw BTS last week, it was great!! it was like a greatest hits tour..they played songs from EVERY album, any true BTS fan would of been proud!

I could tell about Dug and him being self conscious of his vocals, toward teh end of the show if his voice would crack he would immediatelty stop singing and wait till the next line, then he would apologize at the end of the song. But what was funny was when he stopped singing you could hear the crowd was singing the lyrics for him.

i think it's cute that the only porn he likes is his wife.

yay for built to spill! what a cool interview. hopefully they will come to dc on the tour...it seems like they only play shows here once every 3 years or something. i'll be on the edge of my seat if anyone needs me...

i've seen built to spill many many times and they never disappoint live. one of my favorite bands for many years and one of the nicest, most humble guys ever. running into him around town is always a treat....

yay keith! another great interview!

Hey Astro girl. it was actually me Daniel Robert Epstein who interviewed them not keith
