Guided by Voices...The Follow Up

from Can We Interest You In...? · host CanWeInterestYouIn...?

In an homage to the DIY, lo-fi sound of Guided By Voices, we kick things off right in the middle of our pre-intro chitchat, say our hellos later on, and at 13:07, get to the main course—the indie rock band, GBV (as everyone in the GBV chat calls them).Along the way, our vocal range is huge, in spite of two out of three of us having lost our voices (ironic?) earlier this winter. We talk about:The Winter Olympics sports we would compete in if we had the skills and no fear of injury.Brian tells us where  the U.S. stands internationally in breakdancing.Patti and Charlotte’s assignment was to listen to the Guided By Voices albums Bee Thousand and Thick, Rich, and Delicious. They go above and beyond to find out all the juicy gossip, including band drama (don’t call it a breakup, call it a personnel change); whether Bob Pollard is a hoarder or just prolific; the enduring allure of the band.We ask and answer questions about music and existence:What does it mean “to rock”?How do you (like, you specifically) listen to live music?And finally, we talk accessibility and give our ratings for the LOIS (Likelihood of Integration Scale, 1-100).References:Bee Thousand: https://guidedbyvoices.bandcamp.com/album/bee-thousandThick, Rich, and Delicious: https://guidedbyvoices.bandcamp.com/album/thick-rich-and-deliciousBooks:Closer You Are: The Story of Guided by VoicesMood Machine: the Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist, by Liz PellyOther Links:https://people.com/who-is-rebeca-andrade-all-about-the-brazilian-gymnast-8686852https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-grand-unified-theory-of-cultural-stagnation/id1594471023?i=1000738432969The Mountain Goats, The Sunset Tree: https://themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/album/the-sunset-tree-20th-anniversary-remasterThe inspiration for Charlotte’s goal for 2026: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nba/bulls-matas-buzelis-best-player-ever-quote-28-points-summer-league/Logo design by Marielle MartinSong: Upbeat Drums with Stomps and Claps by music_for_videoBlueSky: @canweinterestyouin.bsky.socialInstagram: @canweinterestyouinEmail us your interests!
