Good Tunes: Guided By Voices, 'Liquid Indian' and 'Surgical Focus'

NPR published a review of the Robert Pollard biography Closer You Are recently. The article reminded of “Teenage FBI,” the Guided By Voices song featured on NCAA Football 06 (which I probably heard two million times), and a few other GBV gems I’ve stumbled across: “Liquid Indian” and “Surgical Focus.”

Speaking of “Surgical Focus,” here’s a clever reference from the book review:

Guided by Voices fans, and anyone with an abiding interest in indie rock, will appreciate Cutter's deep dives into the history of each of the band's albums: He's combed through liner notes, fanzines and interviews with a surgical focus, preserving a lot of stories that might have been lost to history.

Nice!
