Another first for me on RP. Don't know if I've ever heard this band before.
Odd cover art. Planes, fighter planes, private planes. And...?

Longer than that if I remember correctly. Romeo, how long's it been since you've lived in a normal house or apartment? And yes, this is jealousy talking. There have been a few hotel rooms that I wouldn't mind living in, just none in Vegas. I don't do hot weather, people, scorpions, and rampant commercialism. |

I miss GBV a lot. I've seen them live several times and talked to Bob Pollard before one of the shows. Too bad they're best stuff is self-produced home-made 4 tracks (lo-fi). I'd love to hear stuff from "Bee Thousand" on RP.

Wow, that has to be the most normal looking distribution chart I've seen for a song with 100-ish votes...
Polarizing it's not, just an inoffensive presence.

This quite good GBV song has some of these bands' sounds in their mix.
I saw Roger McGuinn at Riverbend in Chattanooga a couple of years back........I got up and left after having to hear him "name dropping" between each song about the "good old days"

Saw them (final tour) 12/3/2004 @ Irving Plaza in NYC. Can't remember if they played this one...? Ah - my man is the big fan. I was just along for the ride. The crowd was madly in love with them.
Good show, great memory. (Cool song, this 'un.)

Something about the structure of this song is just wrong. Playing/writing/singing is fine, its just not organized right.
Is there a producer around????

Well, the song is pretty average. But that album cover, now that is unique. It's like going to the airport on acid.

GBV is seriously overrated, but typically by people whose musical taste I respect, so maybe there's something I'm missing. I'll just have to take your word for it, folks.

Does make clear the debt REM owes to the Byrds.

One of my favorite GBV efforts though I 've heard it said most fans find Isolation Drills too polished. Brides Have Hit Glass is my fav--
