I’m going to see the most buzz/blog worthy band of 2010 tomorrow night in The Main Room: Built To Spill.

I said as much on The Twitter tonight, but I really don’t know what would’ve happened had I been exposed to Built To Spill in 1994 or 1997 or 1999. Instead of honing my ear on a great/shitty pop hook thanks to the bullshit KKCK was playing from 1994-1999, I could’ve honed my ear on totally badass guitar-crunching indie rock. 

This is something I actually spend a lot of time thinking about: what is life like in Rural America in 2010, thanks to the Internet? And what would life have been like in Rural America when I was growing up, from 1990-2000, if I had access to the Internet of 2010?

Life.
