i missed Built to Spill until last year's You In Reverse album. I now own several of their cds, a couple of albums, and doug martsch's solo cd. if you're looking for some rock, i agree "goin' against your mind" and "conventional wisdom" from the last cd are both great rockers.
on the way home tonight i dialed up two cow garage's cd entitled III that came out this year. great rock band with a slight twang but rock like early uncle tupelo. the first three songs are killer on that cd but it's strong throughout.
and of course the drive by truckers have yet to be mentioned. check out "never gonna change."
