I want these guys to do a tiny desk concert

Built To Spill literally saved my life.

[JcGrubbsFilms]

I got to meet and talk to Doug after a show a couple months back and before we parted he shook my hand, and like Excalibur from the stone, his touch transferred a small portion of his power and I now have the ability to play any Built to Spill song I wish... Well I still can't play like him but that's what it feels like to meet Doug Martsch.

I was in a crappy band in high school called Mellow Stigma. My brother, Dano, and his friend Nick Garcia snuck us into the Neurolux to play a show for the first time in front of a live crowd. It was 1995 and I think we interrupted the Electric Peaches set. I was so scared....but I can still remember Doug doing the sound for us and telling me to turn up my guitar. I'm a single dad and an accountant now (suicidal??)...but Doug still inspires me to plug in and make some noise from time to time. That is one of my best memories. It is pretty cool to live in the same town as your musical hero.

Thank you Doug. I appreciate all of the hard work you've put into making music that means a lot to me.

I love it when a band that has a lot of like A LOT OF GUITARS. Not just a bunch of clowns standing there strumming the same fucking chord. Built To Spill has such a huge and spectacular multi layered guitar sound. great band!

[bigpictureguys]

A skill many may not know about Built to Spill but they are incredible at doing covers.

The best at it I’ve ever heard by a lot.

[crazygood]

Oh god, those guitars are melting my thoughts

[blakesmith]

Their guitar tone is otherworldly. Dear god....

[matthewryan]

Doug is recorded amongst the 100 best guitarists of all time.

[johnedward]

Is there a band that ISN'T Cheryl Waters favorite band of all time?

[jerimiahmcallister]

Built to Spill has been my favorite band since the early 90s. Doug is a gentle genius!

[JC-yyiv]

I love Cheryl so much. She always seems genuinely stoked to be seeing every single artist

[bbbeans]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Best band ever man.

[jamesshields]

"Every Thousand years, this metal sphere ten times the size of etc. (best concept of eternity ever)

[weirdelf]

Doug looks more and more like a wizard every time I see him

[RandomRants]

This is an amazing portrayal of the band. Cheryl Waters handles this wonderfully and this is exactly why I give to KEXP. So good.

[matthewtimber]

It's always interesting to hear Doug talk a bit. At shows he usually just says "thank you" "give it up for (insert opening act here" and "here's another song" he seems more comfortable just playing music but I'm always fascinated by what he has to say.

[nickman]

fuck yeah favorite singer playing a squire strat. its gonna be a good day

[slimjimmypage]

Wow holy hell the three-guitar version of this band is the best ever.

[bishmaster]

Man, "so" is such a marvelous song.
