Built to Spill

This is just a general post on how great this band is. Seriously Doug Martsch is a lyrical genius and needs to be praised for his way with words. On top of that the music is just on point and for that I must say bravo.

I must also say BRAVO to Mr. Christopher Provenzano for introducing me to the magic of BTS about...shit, what was that three years ago...when he played one of their albums on a road trip to Vegas from LA. See it went something like this...

I was in LA doing some shoots and had the weekend off. My girl Aly Corn was out there visiting her college buddy, the above mentioned eye-talian, and was like meet us up for a drank. So I met her, Chris and another dude at the Rainbow Room. Yeah, Lemmy from Motorhead was there. It was wicked awes. Anyway, two minutes after meeting Chris I was like oh snap, yous about to be my new best friend whether you like it or not playa and that was when the bonding began. Aly was like, we are going to Vegas tomorrow come and I'm like um, yeah, nah, fuck you fuckers. And then Chris was like it's going to be money and all that other Swingers talk...blah, blah, blah. Now even though Chris was gunna be my new best friend I was damb if you are going to tell me what to do.

Fast forward 8 hours. I wake up in my hotel room and was like, well the fuck else I got going on. Might as well roll with them fools. So I call Aly and I'm like y'all still around and she was like oh suki, suki now get your gear straight. And there you have it, my road trip to Vegas.

Now besides it just being fun and shit Chris put on the BTS during like hour 3 and I was like what is that and he was like peep it and there you have it...been hooked every since. Whenever I hear a BTS song I think of Vegas and what a great fucking time I had with these people. Oh and we saw Tony Danza walking around the Paris Hotel and Casino being all Tony Danza like and I had a Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast at 6am the following day...yeah, we got there at like 5pm on a Saturday and left at 1pm on Sunday. Shortie, what you workin' wit?

The moral of the story is take your ass on a road trip and get yourself some BTS...preferably, Keep it Like a Secret. That whole album is my jam. In my top ten, no questions asked.

Oh, and for y'all out there that slept on it...the show at Southpaw (5/15) is SOLD THE FUCK OUT. Wut, wut? There are three shows at Irving that week but don't kid yourself, the Southpaw show shall rule.

Carry on.
