Correction: Built to Spill Not Controlled by Demon
But they are putting out a new singleIt has come to our attention that, contrary to false information reported by Pitchfork on Wednesday afternoon, Built to Spill do not actually "take orders from a tiny, omnipotent demonic being" named Gurguroth.
While this psychic monstrosity is renowned throughout the music industry for allegedly controlling the careers of such other bands as the Goo Goo Dolls, Blake Shelton, and Lil Scrappy, we have been assured by Warner label spokespersons that Gurguroth does not, in fact, have any hand whatsoever in determining Built to Spill’s touring or release schedules, nor does he reside within the billowy depths of Doug Martsch’s beard, where he could theoretically sustain himself on small crumbs and various soup particles.
Pitchfork regrets the error.
In related news, Built to Spill will release a new single on Warner Bros. Records on July 10: new song "They Got Away" backed by a cover of the Gladiators’ "Re-Arrange". Yes, the reggae Gladiators. In fact, both songs are reggae songs. But, according to a press release, Doug Martsch says, "I want to make sure that people don’t think we are becoming a reggae band. We play reggae because we love to play it."The single will be available as a 12" and digital download, and will be in stores, online, and for sale at the band’s many, many shows from July 10 onward.

Thanks for posting. It’s been said by more than a few around here who’ve met Murph – – he seems to be a regular guy
If you’re Daddy watching Mommy deliver, up close & personal, you’re sort of "in the zone." At least I was! The blood (and other bodily fluids) are all part of the spectacle that is birthin’ babies.
Have yet to dream about J, Lou or Murph, but these lyrics about a dream are great, imho…
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
Alive as you or me,
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery,
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold,
Searching for the very souls
Whom already have been sold."Arise, arise," he cried so loud,
In a voice without restraint,
"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint.
No martyr is among ye now
Whom you can call your own,
So go on your way accordingly
But know you’re not alone."I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
Alive with fiery breath,
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
That put him out to death.
Oh, I awoke in anger,
So alone and terrified,
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried.– Bob Dylan, 1968
"So go on your way accordingly
But know you’re not alone."
Amen, brother Bob.
"Elbit " wrote:I’am pretty sure he says ‘Punk rock dream in a Dimebag world" at some part i can’t remember when off the top of my head. I could also be wrong tho.I like your suggeston better than mine, Elbit: "Punk rock dream in a dyed black world."
Another fragment of a line sounds to me like: "…ashes stain the windowsill…"I play "Guess the Lyrics" during the drive to and from the rockpile.
"sappy cancer " wrote:great article discussing the evolution of mascis and the DJ revival: all about DJ then and now, listener response then and who we are now–…
Thanks for that article, sappy. A good read!
I agree, King T…
It’s time for the "self-declared Dean of American Rock Critics" to turn in his laptop.
I agree with tonas. (However, "K Mascis" is a good suggestion. I like "Jr Mascis," too. I’ll stop now…)
