In other news, BTS' Doug Martsch and Brett Nelson covered the band's own songs in a synthy style as the Electronic Anthology Project...

"Dug Martsch and Brett Nelson are both members of Built To Spill.The Electronic Anthology Project is a side project that Dug and Brett made.It's basically one song off of each BTS record,completely replayed by Brett (synths/drum machine) and resang by Dug.If you like Built To Spill and 80's New Wave then you may like the two together."
Those version are streaming on Myspace and available on CD at CD Baby. Check it out!

BtS RULES!!!!

One of my favorite bands.

The 80's synth self-covers are a fun listen.

Posted by Dan | August 3, 2010 11:35 AM

Jesus, that Long Island set list is perfect.

Posted by noamjamski | August 3, 2010 11:36 AM

Yah, incredible set list for Long Island. guessing theyll play for 2+ hours on the boat, should be epic.

these tour dates guarantee ATP NY don't they?

Posted by Anonymous | August 3, 2010 11:50 AM

can always come back to BtS and enjoy their jams

Those synth covers are painful.

it's true... i almost wish i had trekked out to LI to see that show. but Irving was great. any show where they play "carry the zero" is a winner in my book.

I want to know the rest of ATP NY's line up

so does everyone else that's going.

The Crazy Donkey is not the best place to see a show, but they have been getting some really good bands lately.

Posted by Kurt C. | August 3, 2010 1:43 PM

If they come to ATP, I'm challenging Martsch & Co. to some 3-on-3 basketball.

Posted by Anonymous | August 3, 2010 1:45 PM

knew i should have gone to that Crazy Donkey show. that's a damn good setlist

Jon Corzine.

I was lucky enough to see this band play live. They are pretty talented and fun to watch.

Posted by Long Island Lisa | August 3, 2010 7:09 PM

long island still fails me. show was empty.

crazy donkey has been getting good bands? what, like explosions in the sky 3 years ago? other than that, go to the crazy donkey for fun filled emo-garbage-of-the-week or fucking metal wash-ups (LA Guns play there like once a week)

Posted by Anonymous | August 3, 2010 8:09 PM

i remember that explosions show being pretty packed
