A new song by Guided By Voices. Are you all worked up? Okay, so I've never really understood the fuss about them. The friends that really liked them back in the day, really liked them. Some of them would go on and on about them to the point of "enough already" annoyance. That, of course, made me want to avoid them like the plague. And I have. But, I ran into the new cut by the reunited '93-'96 incarnation, and thought I'd throw Voiceheads a bone. Here's "The Unsinkable Fats Domino," off of their new LP, which will be out in a few weeks. To round that out, there's a link to a live set down there, from Portland, in '09 (47 individual mp3s). Another post has 15 cuts from the 2003 Earthquake Glue LP. Maybe you can tell me what the fuss is all about.
They grow up so fast, don't they?

They're great. No way to prove it. Any game attempt might have to be in riddle, verse, or deep philosophical speculation; and you better have chops for the latter, 'cause I can already see that plane going down. Let's just say that any guy worth his salt needs to have a good high-kick and a reliable long-range jumper. Pollard has both, and I've had a great time over the years trying to find suitable names for all the strange things that tend to huddle around his campfire.
Nicely put, and duly noted. Thanks, really.
