The song i listed is actually originally by daniel johnston and it's unbelievably good as well as a profound invfluence on the vocal style of doug marsch. as a matter of fact, it's hard to tell the difference between the vocals on the built to spill cover of the song and the vocals on the original. or at least, to the casual listener. i am a huge fan of both artists as well as both versions. if you're not already a daniel johnston fan, you might check out some of his early work or (if you're lucky) all of it. [recommend albums : "hi, how are you", "songs of pain volume 1&2"] his work is representative of some of the earliest and most wonderful lo-fi of the past twenty years. actually, all of his best work was recorded on a little handheld recorder he taped to a stand in his garage. he is a marvel of music in a way no less valuable than built to spill but certainly different. thanks for posting a note and happy listening.

from protoplast :

Truth be told it was probably the fifth or sixth. I had no letters. But I did have pictures. There were half-truths in everything he said. And he'll never know how much I really knew. We hashed it out. We washed it clean. We started again. And no, I don't really expect it to be any different this time.

from protoplast :

This is my safe haven. This is the one place I tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Everywhere else in my life I fabricate a beautiful, put together existence. It's very tiring.

from donnaisblue :

i was being read a poem about anger, and every word being said, every drooling syllable, reminded me of sex, made me lustfull. and when i saw, "sex is violence", i thought that was absolutely perfect.
