Before plonking on this eBay: is anyone on the list interested in this?
Still working perfectly, still six months warranty - I upgraded to a 500
GB drive recently, so I have no use for this one anymore. Hoping to get
100 euros (includes shipping) or best offer - offer only applies to
Europeans, shipping anywhere else would be too much.

And of course I'd be happy to fill it to the brim with BTS live shows.;-)

Martin

Still here:

BTS: 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006 shows (DVD-R collections)

Discs are free but you must be able to PayPal me postage (typically $3 for
Europe, $4 for USA and other countries outside the EU).

Cheers,

Article this morning in the NYC Metro free paper...

If you recognize the title of John Sellers' book "Perfect From Now On: How
Indie Rock Saved My Life" as an homage to the third full-length record by
the Boise, Idaho-based indie rock band Built to Spill, you are allready his
target audience and you will love this book.

And if you know that the record, released in 1997, was the band's major
label debut on Warner Bros. records, and can name the lineup of the band
during that period and the song that gives the record its title, well, you
will hate this book, and curse Sellers' name, right before you turn the
page, and fall in love with him all over again.

John Sellers will read from "PFNO" today (Monday March 5) at 7:00PM at the
Barnes & Noble Chelsea, 675 Sixth Ave.

This a nonsequitor but I'm really enjoying "Teeth like God's Shoe

I think I've been to see BTS 25 times, is that crazy or what? I have so many
of the B&P discs they just pile up, I don't listen to them that much
anymore.

that slide show confused me also. Sometimes I'd just find myself staring up
at the screen and not really paying attention to what was going on. It also
bugged the HELL out of me that Dug spent ~2 minutes every other song messing
with the disc or checking to make sure it was queued up correctly. I just
wanted them to play.

It was wierd, when I first started to see and get into BTS it was a bunch of
shoegazer indie kids. The most recent concert I went to it was a bunch of
frat boy assholes. It was annoying, but maybe I'm just getting older.

What makes who feel old, now!?

I'm still the list owner here, actually.  259 people on the list
officially, but extremely tilted to several years ago, and a lot of the
list subscribers are shown as bouncing.  So hard to say how many people are
really out there.

This is the 15th post of 2007.  There were only 6 posts in all of 2006, all
last February.  You have to back to 2002 to find a year with more than 100
posts.

The list was still pretty strong throughout Keep It Like A Secret and was
fairly active with Live came out, but activity trailed off toward the end
of 2001, a couple of months after Ancient Melodies of the Future came
out.  I think Perfect From Now On set the bar so high, and Keep It Like A
Secret and Live came at least close enough to that bar to maintain
interest, and then there was an inevitable tumbledown.  Doug's solo album
got little discussion here, the tours didn't get a lot of attention here...
and in some ways this is ironic, because the band's vitality as a live band
has never really gone down in my mind.  They are probably my favorite
actively touring not-broken-up band still going.  As much as anything it
seems symptomatic to me of having gotten to a point where I just spend less
time discussing things like this, and Built To Spill being a convergence
point for a lot of people who are really a lot like me in that
respect.  Like Martin says:  I feel a little old.

I've seen them six times.  The only other bands I've seen as often are
Spoon (6) and Wilco (6), and Silkworm (9).  I used to think that was a lot,
but really, it's not so much anymore.  I've missed as many shows as I've
made.  Just happens that way.

I was kind of underwhelmed by You In Reverse.  I don't think I liked the
production so much, and not much grabbed me beyond "Goin' Against Your
Mind".  I'm not sure what I wanted it to be; maybe most things underwhelm
me at this point, I don't know.  Maybe too I didn't realize that it came
out last April.  It seems like it's been three years.  That's what this
kind of crazy hectic existence will do to your mind.

I recall that files were available of three nights they did in Minneapolis
or Seattle, something like that, and I used to have all that, but I don't
anymore.  Anyone know where that's available?

Kind of hijacking the thread here - rmatthewward@... wrote (among
other things):

Even though I'm not a fan of Johnston's music, I cannot recommend this
highly enough - a very moving and intimate portrait of dealing with a
mental illness.

Seeing Phil Huckleberry mentioned makes me feel old - I remember signing
up for a lot of music mailing lists when I first had email (1995, at
college), and he was one of the more prominent members of the BTS and
Pavement lists then.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I think the new album is great,
although (obviously) no PFNO (but how could it be?). I find AMOTF their
weakest effort - not very cohesive, every other song sounds like filler.

Acronymically speaking ;-) to MS in PDX/DUB: JW is going to send me a
boatland of uncirculated 1997 shows soon - and we all know that sharing is
caring. ;-)

Looking forward to the first Amsterdam date in seven(!) years,

Martin

This list used to be great, then it just up and died one summer.  I really like the new album.  I could listen to the last 4 songs on repeat for a day or two easily.

I thought "Goin' Against Your Mind" was a great first step on the
album, lots of swagger and ballsiness to put a long song first up on
the album.

And then "Conventional Wisdom" was a great pop song.

But the rest of the album sounded like rejects from Ancient Melodies
of the Future.

I've been on the list since maybe 2000. It was pretty quiet even when
I first joined...

Didn't realize you were from there, Chris.

But yeah, I guess there's a pretty good hunk of us over on the MM
list. People who might be reading this *right now*.

last couple of albums it's not even funny.

In other news I watched "The Devil & Daniel Johnston" a few months
back. He played "Some Things Last A Long Time" in one scene. I had
never even realized that was his song and not Doug's... But it totally
makes sense.

To tell you the truth, I was really unahppy with the last album. I had tix

I never even loaded it onto my ipod. sad.

Yeah, this list is pretty dead.  Probably because of the 2 BTS
message boards.  Thanks for the cover art...

here's the new album cover

I just have to say that I am so jealous!  I wanted to go to that festival so
bad!  Wilco and BTS are two of my favourite bands, but I had just started
this new lob and had to stay in town.  I did get to see Pearl Jam that
weekend though.
