I love Doug Martsch's blase attitude, as shown in this interview with Pitchfork about Built to Spill's forthcoming album, "There Is No Enemy."
Pitchfork: Built to Spill's Doug Martsch Talks New LP.

DM: Yeah, we're not in any hurry to put anything out. There are plenty of Built to Spill records-- no one is in a hurry to hear something new.
Pitchfork: Really?
DM: Well, I hope some people are looking forward to it. But it's not like we're a new band with just a few songs.
Pitchfork: Is there such a thing as having too many songs?
DM: There are lot of bands that have too many songs, I think.

True for most bands, but not Built To Spill, Doug! There could never be too many BtS songs.
Here is my list of bands/artists with too many songs:
- Guided By Voices
- The Rolling Stones
- Elvis Costello
- Van Morrison
- Prince
