Spilled Milk...

This is one of those stories of the band I've always loved, but never had the opportunity to go and see them. We all have one. Maybe it's because you were too lazy when they played at Lee's Palace to go, or the tickets sold out quicker than a Deathcab / Franz tour. No, Built To Spill didn't play Lee's lately, and that is my point exactly.

"You In Reverse" is the upcoming album and it hits stores in April, and I 've listened to some of it. It's good, and you can check out an 8 minute song on their myspace page. However, I found myself putting out a mass email to my other friends yesterday, asking the boys if they are up for a road trip. Why? Because this band hates our fine city, if not our entire country, and will just not play here.

I think we'll hit up the Buffalo show. Either way, I just wanted to make note of this "no toronto" theory. The boarder police must think I'm a smuggler lately.
