About Built To Spill

For over twenty years, Doug Martsch has been writing and recording music. Built to Spill members Brett Nelson (bass), Scott Plouf (drums) Jim Roth (guitar), and Brett Netson (guitar) have all been musicians for two decades. That adds up to more than a century. Doug's strong aesthetic combines with the band members' mix of approaches to create an aural topography. Doug sets course and navigates. Each member of Built to Spill comes to the music with a different set of expectations and ideals.

With the complexity and variety of music they have created, Built to Spill endeavors to make songs interesting to themselves and their audience. They hope that the band will remain special and that people will discover the music for themselves. Year after year, Read the rest of this entry »

Back on the home front, Brad Schmidt of The Oregonian writes with news of a smart arrangement that is helping ease the financial burden on Timbers owner Merritt Paulson. Turns out, Paulson has contracted a "sublicense agreement" for space in the renovated PGE Park with Providence Health for their "new sports rehabilitation and physical therapy clinic." Providence's payments to Paulson will cover more than half of the monthly rent Paulson owes the city of Portland for operating the stadium. To put this in real world terms, Paulson simply found a rich roommate to sublet a room in his apartment. That's a smart hustle.

Finally, this week, a great primer for Timbers Army Read the rest of this entry »
