Happy love day! So far mine has been pretty great. I was in the [wrong] line-up for my bus home when I saw one of my All Time Favourite People, who was marvelously heading back to our place of residence on the very same bus as me. So we spent the past couple hours being rocked about, catching up on the past month and a half, and eating the Valentine's chocolate my mom sent me. As if I don't already love Greyhound trips enough.
So now I'm home. And there is MILK in the fridge. Milk. Luxurious.
And in my cozy, contented state, I felt that it would be a nice gesture to toss a little handful of fantastic Guided By Voices songs out into the interweb.
This is another band that was vaguely on my musical horizons before, but that I never really delved into for one reason or another. But I guess this is a good time for me to bring fuzzed out nineties nostalgia glow bands into my life, considering all the Built to Spill adoration I'm having lately.
Here's some Guided By Voices:
Tractor Rape Chain
Gonna Never Have to Die
As We Go Up We Go Down
And a couple Built to Spill tracks off of the lovely Ancient Melodies of the Future, because I'm just so enamoured with these chaps:
The Weather
Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss
Lastly, some Guided By Voices links: MySpace and imeem
Thanks for stopping by,
Alie
P.S. This is totally unrelated, but on my voyage with one of my All Time Favourite People, I was reminded how much I love the way she says things like "I haven't been on the MSN much lately" and "I don't speak the French." I just think people should start talking like that. It could start with you.

Cheers for the music (:
On the P.S. note, I'm reading (ever reading, it seems, since it's so damn dense) Rushdie's 'Midnight's Children' and it features Indian women characters that speak in much the same way. I get a little grin every time I read them (:
