(via upload.wikimedia.org) In case the U.K. television series didn’t convince you that Guided By Voices is both famous and awesome, here’s a little more proof. Los Angeles and, at least, eight other cities have declared a day to be Guided By Voices Day. I was originally going to post more GBV trivia like “Tobin Sprout’s an accomplished painter” and “Jim Macpherson, of The Breeders, The Amps, etc. also played for GBV” and “Robert Pollard was a fourth-grade teacher”, etc. etc., but I’m too busy singing along to “Teenage FBI” to stay focused, so let’s close out GBV Week with a playlist (scroll down). This is just the tip of the iceberg of GBV on YouTube. Take a look around. There are some real gems out there.
