Guided By Voices - "Dodging Invisible Rays"

Guided By Voices - "Dodging Invisible Rays": "An amazing melancholy pop song, this time from Tobin Sprout. Was this release really relegated to a vinyl EP?"

So true--GREAT tobin song. Then again, how many bad ones did this guy write? It's like he's George Harrison, he gets one or two an album and they're perfect (Pollard is Lennon/McCartney combined). Big fan, didn't even hear this song until earlier this year. Must have been a favorite of theirs, I saw them play it on their reunion tour last week (in the encore, in Chicago).

perfect! but yeah, if you don't have it, you want to get "Live at The Horseshoe Tavern" by Tobin Sprout, as close as we'll get to a Tobin greatest hits. Seeing the reunion show in Austin reminded me why I fell in love with GbV in the first place. Wish I could go back and see them in '95 again, but the reunion was close enough!
