well, built to spill didnt quite outdo radiohead on thursday. they came up well short. but it wasnt the band's fault. it was the crowd's. we were close enough to spit on doug martsch (sp?) --we refrained-- so we thought when they came on they were going to blow us away. when they came on, they did proceed to rock, but the crowd never got into it. they really only bobbed their heads, no dancing, pushing, moving back and forth wildly as you would find at most concerts of that nature if youre up that close. the crowd for modest mouse in austin was doing all that the whole time...no rest, which made it more enjoyable because of that energy that was ever present. . nonetheless, doug and crew kicked ass. he may be the best guitar player ive ever seen save for phill keaggy, who is actually in town tonight.
on another note, my best friend from home now has a blog, that trendy ass hole. its called here goes nothing, and i think his first post is worth reading. check it out and let him know what you think. begin the josiah host offer countdown now.
