Personal Best Records: Built To Spill

Artist/Band: Built To Spill 

Best record you stole from your folks’ collection? I listened to my older brother's Larry Norman records a lot when I was a kid.

First record you bought? Billy Squire — In the Dark cassette.

Record you put on when you’re really miserable? I don't relate to music like that. If I'm miserable I'd rather play guitar than listen to a record. But I guess The Smiths are my favorite miserable band.

Record you put on when you bring someone home? I'm not allowed to bring anyone home...

Most surprising record in your collection? Sometimes I find something shitty in my iTunes and I have no idea how it got there — Madonna or Genesis...

Last thing you bought/downloaded? ONE by Get Wet.

When and where are your next gigs? Next week in Australia.
