Line Out - Comments on Built to Spill @ the Showbox http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/10/built_to_spill_the_showbox Photos by Morgan Keuler Kirby pretty much nailed the atmosphere and quality of last night's Built to Spill show. This is a band that does nothing on-stage but play music. They stand there in their oversized t-shirts and bald heads...

Think I'll get there early and grab a spot at the rail.
Makes it harder to get drinks, though.

I've literally dozed off at both shows I've seen - Velvet Elvis (on the stairs) and Olympia Theater (in a seat) during the 90s. Maybe that's a good thing.

jz, judge me, and say that i couldn't be more wrong, you typical boring music critic. When are you gonna review Faded Denim Cherry songs? I'll post one up on my site whenever I see your judgements from now upon.

one of the very few bands with the ability to actually bring tears to my eyes. they are in it to win it on their own terms, and what good terms they are.

i can never see built to spill and not think of chris takino. what a beautiful legacy he left us with.

That show was so incredible. 'Car' was a pinnacle musical moment for me. And damn, can that boy play guitar!

I've seen BTS many many times and this was probably tied for the best. Every note and word was wrought w/ emotion. I love them.

And JB at #2? You don't HAVE to enjoy it, but you're truly missing something if you write them off because you can't get into what they're doing on stage. This isn't 'boring music critic' music.
