Guided by Voices Kit Kat Acoustic Break session 1997
For better or worse (most likely the latter) were right smack dab in the middle of the week where I have little or nothing on the burner ready to fire. Hopefully Ill have my act together in a few days, but until then, heres another selection from my dwindling folder of Guided by Voices rarities and curios. This is the bands installment in the Kit Kat Acoustic Break series. These live, in-studio sessions originated from the mid-90s and were pressed up on CD and sent to college radio stations for weekly airplay. Youll no doubt recognize host, Pat Dinizio from Smithereens renown. His approach was anti-climactic at best, but he was at least hip to GBV. I dont have an original copy of the disk, but I was able to find a digitized version of the set, presumably taped from an FM radio broadcast. Its the Mag Earwig lineup of GBV (Doug Gillard, etc), nipping on the heels of the "classic" lineup (Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, etc). And yes, Pollard and Co. managed to maintain their sobriety for the entirety of the set. Am not quite sure if thats a plus or a minus, but anyway.
Seven songs: Quicksilver, Not Behind the Fighter Jet, Bulldog Skin, Choking Tara, My Impression Now, Now to War and Teenage FBI.
