I saw them live in 2016 and they were trying out a power trio, which I didn't think worked so well. but some of the jams were indeed epic (goin' against your mind, holy crap)

my sister just shared this story with me:
so my good friend, _______, her and her husband’s family are HUGE bts fans. anyway, _______'s sister-in-law was dying of cancer, and the band was on tour but she was too sick to go to the concert. the family contacted doug and he came TO HER HOUSE and performed a private concert for her and the family. they said he was just the nicest guy. she passed soon after.

I think it's nice to reclaim these threads with praise and love of music
I also think Doug Martsch seems like a great guy
and BTS rocks

Annoying vocals, unremarkable melodies, self-consciously clever lyrics, capable of rending the world's most annoying sounds out of a guitar...― Melissa W, Monday, 28 May 2001 00:00 (sixteen years ago) Permalink
