is this a great song(track) or what? I wish all pop/rock music today could be like this Kind of reminds me of a modern Cheap Trick, some early Who, nothing revolutionary or anything overly complicated, just a feel good song. i think you'd inpress more women with this song than you would with most stuff you hear today. Gives me hope that there's still some good music out there. See, it dont take much, just some vibrance. Saw it on how I met your mother, lol, Great track.

I love Guided By Voices. And yeah, this is one of my favorite tracks of theirs. Although "Game of Pricks" and "Dodging Invisible Rays" are my all-time faves. Wait… there's also "Echoes Myron" and "A Good Flying Bird" and about a million other songs. This is seriously one of my favorite bands. Alien Lanes literally changed my life. Literally. It's a lo-fi masterpiece that gave me the confidence to let other people hear my really crappy-sounding lo-fi demos. So, once I released those, they were heard by a local label owner, who liked them enough to give me a deal. So yeah, when I say literally, I mean literally.

I listened to them a bit on spotify, this track was fun for me to listen to, i liked the other stuff, but not as much as this one.
It's definitely a throw back sound, and shows what you can do with minimalism. Beats another Nickelback tune!

It's definitely a throw back sound, and shows what you can do with minimalism. Beats another Nickelback tune! The earlier GBV stuff is all very lo-fi. In fact, they used lo-fi as an aesthetic, recording everything onto cassette on a cheap 4-track recorder in their rehearsal space and then just releasing those tapes as albums. IMO, they definitely made it work, using the poor fidelity and tape hiss to create a mood and an ambience around their perfect power pop songs. Still hooky but with a ghostly quality. Then, when you saw the band live, those tunes literally came to life -- just exploded out of the band. Just awesome.
