I recently stumbled onto a Spotify playlist called Guided by Voices 100 Best Songs. It’s incredible, packed with tons of amazing songs I’ve never heard before.
By total coincidence, YouTube reminded me today that I once watched this mini documentary about the band. Definitely worth a look, and only 36 minutes long. See what you reckon!
I’ve watched this compelling Bobumentary multiple times.
The standouts for me are:
“I’d like to hear that song, by that band”
the songwriting technique of conjuring a make-believe band with a make-believe song, then writing that song
singing with a British accent so as not to sound too Dayton hick
