I didn't get much sleep last night. I got in just before 3 am and everyone got back to the office before 11 am.

Calendar days continue to slip away and our conversion day continues to get closer and closer... brought in a favorite album to listen to at the office.

This was the second Built to Spill album I ever purchased... I had picked up Keep it Secret a couple of months earlier and I decided to check out some of their earlier stuff.

When I heard the song "Car" I was pretty convinced that this band could never do any wrong... Doug's guitar work and lyrical compositions managed to win me over in record time.

There's something about Built to Spill songs that bend and turn unexpectedly at times. He finds ways to bend notes and words in ways that are unlike any other artists in my library.

If you've never heard this album, I can't stress how good it is.
