As promised, I’m posting a portion of my recent interview with Brett Netson of Built to Spill.

It’s a little grainy sounding ’cause my minidisc recorder is from the 1920s. Anyway, the segment concerns Netson’s love for amp building, as well as our mutual distaste for much of today’s music. We blab about ProTools too, but I edited out the super geeky shit.

Check it.

I’ve learned I have to stop saying “uh-huh” all the damn time if I’m gonna keep posting these clips. Guess it’ll give me something to work on in my next interview.

Got something to say?
