If you want to piss off everyone who hates you, titling your new album There Is No Enemy is a pretty easy way to go about it. In fact, word in the TMT offices is that Built To Spill’s enemies have teamed up to stop the production of their new album, which is due out sometime in October on Warner Bros. But before the band can attempt to stop their enemies, they must first identify them. If you see any of the following individuals, please contact Built To Spill as soon as possible:
- The person who created this anti-beard MySpace page, who finds Doug Martsch’s magnificent beard to be utterly offensive.
- This dude, who lost his virginity to the song “Else” in 1999, was subsequently dumped by his girlfriend the next day and went through an extreme identity crisis.
- Various members of Rogue Wave and Death Cab For Cutie, who are pissed that, as much as they claim Built To Spill to be a big influence, they will never be as good as them.
In the meantime, Built To Spill are headed out on a lengthy tour in hopes that this whole thing will blow over soon:
