There was a time a few years ago when I would wake up with Built to Spill playing in my brain. I had, unimpressed, heard their music before, but a floating, NP-complete show at the Cradle swayed me. These are my favorites:
- “Carry The Zero” – Keep It Like A Secret
- “You Were Right” – Keep It Like A Secret
- “Broken Chairs” – Keep It Like A Secret
- “The Weather” – Ancient Melodies of the Future
- “Conventional Wisdom” – You In Reverse
- “The Plan” – Keep It Like A Secret
- “Randy Described Eternity” – Perfect From Now On
- “The Wait” – You In Reverse
- “Time Trap” – Keep It Like A Secret
- “Gone” – You In Reverse
Honorable Mention: Goes to “Virginia Reel Around the Fountain” from Doug Martsch’s side collaboration The Halo Benders. It’s, like, ridiculously good.
