Scissors is another Tobin Sprout track, one of his heavier ones (well, it has loud distorted guitars, though it still has Tobins Beatles melodies). Please Freeze Me is another of those acoustic melodies that Pollard can come up with in his sleep. Moves to Twin is a pretty decent track, though I am not a huge fan of it.yet, and those who are fans of Bee Thousand will recognize At Odds With Dr. It is just Pollard and someone else ( Pollard again) singing over a constant keyboard rhythm. Greenface is another in your face rocker similar to Squirmish Frontal Room.ĭeathtrot and Warlock Riding a Rooster is one of my favorite weird GBV songs, and is a guity pleasure of mine.

It sounds like a demo for the later version, but is important to this collection since it contains the lyric King Shit and the Golden Boys. Indian Was An Angel is a pleasant acoustic number which I think would have sounded nice on Vampire On Titus (though it was written during Bee Thousand sessions).

However, I am not a fan of either song in the full form, and am happy just adding Back to Saturn X Report and leaving these two tracks off of my playlist. Now, I know that I said that both Fantasy Creeps and Sopor Joe are both highlights on this disc, and that is true since they are both part of Back to Saturn X Report. You know, Im liking it the more I listen to it.fine, it makes the cut Crutch Came Slinking is a 60s ditty re-invented. There is some cool grunge guitar going on in the track and some fine vocals, but the song is just too weird. Squirmish Frontal Room is an aural assault of ripping guitar and fuzzy vocals, and one of Guided By Voices heavier tunes.Īnd Tricyclic Looper is the first track from King Shit which Ill be taking a pass on. Weve Got Airplanes and Dust Devil are both excellent songs which should have found their way to Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia, as both would have been among the finest on the disc. However, there are some other gems scattered about on this disc. Highlights include Fantasy Creeps and Sopor Joe from Back to Saturn X Report ( Propeller ), and less refined versions of Dont Stop Now and Postal Blowfish. This rarities disc for the most part plays as a cohesive album, and a fairly decent one at that. Therefore, a large group of these were recorded during the same sessions in which Bee Thousand songs were done.
