Just got off the horn with Brett Netson, guitarist extrordiaire of Built to Spill — long-time faves of mine. Netson goes all the way back with them. Although he sometimes isn’t in the band, he’s played on every one of their records that I hold dear.
Cool dude, laid-back, no BS. We talked a lot of geeky shit about amps, which he also builds. I told him he should buy my ‘74 Fender Super Reverb, which, at this point serves as a coffee table in my studio.
There was also a good bit of bitchin’ about today’s mainstream rock. Suffice it to say, emokid1987 would not approve of our conversation.
By the way, I made up that last handle. But I’m sure there’s a little brother on the Panic! at the Disco message board with that very username.



Did he say how Marsch’s eye is doing?
Doug’s battle wound never came up, for some reason.
Oh yeah, and they’re playing at higher ground on 10/1.
