In my opinion, this is the best post-reunion single GBV has released yet. It feels good to have the classic lineup back for the long haul.
Countdown to the End of TIMJ #3: One of the most unexpected and fun musical developments of the Jam era for me was the earnest comeback of Dayton, Ohio, mutant pop geniuses Guided by Voices. After a 2010-11 reunion tour, sparked by the 21st anniversary party of their label Matador, they decided to start recording for the first time since 2004; the results were a whopping SIX new full-length studio albums (and what felt like countless associated singles) before the band imploded again in 2014. In November '12 I Jammed a tune from one of the best of these LPs, Class Clown Spots a UFO ("Jon the Croc"); on the Fourth of July '14, I Jammed a tune from one of the weaker reunion LPs, Motivational Jumpsuit ("Planet Score"). Both of those tunes are sung by Robert Pollard; this time, I've chosen a blaster by the band's other singer/songwriter, Tobin Sprout. This one comes from another of the stronger GbV reunion albums, 2013's English Little League.
