LoudSpeakers At InternmentCamp #016 - An Intro To Guided By Voices - (1992 - 1994) - #2 In The Series

The audio introduction to GBV continues, picking it up with Propeller released in 1992. I actually started it with “A Salty Salute,” from 1995’s Alien Lanes. It’s a classic song that was used to introduce the band to the stage when opening up shows and thus made for a fitting introduction to this week’s podcast.

The best part of this week’s podcast is towards the end. Seriously. Bee Thousand is one of the greatest records ever released. It wasn’t recorded in the most optimal methods, but that’s part of the beauty of GBV and lo-fi recordings in general. It fuels the imagination of what it could sound like when recorded with proper studio production.

Lightning Head To Coffee Pot by The Moping Swans helped connect the songs. It’s one of Pollard’s most underappreciated records in my opinion. The AMG review suggests that I am correct in my opinion.
