PULLED INTO ECONOMY ISLAND - Guided By Voices Covers EP (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

This month we're bringing you an EP of some Guided By Voices covers. We decided last month to do this since we were really having a GBV revival here at the Biblioteka headquarters. It all started when Dan decided to read a bio on the band for a podcast he was guesting on (link below) which lead to the "Alien Lanes" stream which lead to a "fuck it, let's do some covers, Bob Pollard style" 

One of my earliest memories of bonding with Dan was when I was driving us around LA late one night (Ops was like pre-nascent at this point.) I had a worn out GBV-mix CD in my car that we found and promptly blasted on the speakers and shrieked along to while driving down Sunset. It was awesome. And of course, the great Sam Brown, a devout music-scene-loving Ohioan is a big fan too. So GBV is definitely among the comfort-music we can all share in when we are in the same room (or rather in the same van on a long drive)

This set of recordings is probably the closest that Dan and I will ever get to approximate being in the same high school together at the same time, trying to write and record music on an 8-track. It was pure experimental fun, and very, very little fuss. I have a collection of old photos of Dan that I store in a folder on my laptop that are expressly intended to make him a little embarrassed and the one that ended up being the artwork for this EP is one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy.
