Guided By Voices - "Huffman Prairie Flying Field"

Guided By Voices - "Huffman Prairie Flying Field": "This is the last Guided by Voices song on their last record and, in my book, it helped put them out a high note. Robert Pollard is at his wistful, melancholy best and the band is aces on their respective parts (including the awesome Kevin March on drums). As Pollard sings "for far too long..." over and over, the song seems to stretch into infinity - but when the second guitar lead kicks back in for the last minute of the song, it propels the song into an even more celestial infinity, if that makes any sense. It's as if the GbV magic was radiating out into the heavens, like a satellite signal heading out from Earth. GbV forever!"
