If you like the ramshackle lo-fi days of GBV, you should have no problem with this. In the blink and you missed it style of so much GBV and Pollard material, it rewards on frequent returns. Jabberstroker reminded me of how much I enjoyed Tobin's contributions. Cocksoldiers eludes to the epics like Redmen and Their Wives albeit in minature. Trendspotter Acrobat exposes a rare and enjoyable Greer vocal. Stabbing a Star rates up there with the rock haikus that made up the Alien Lanes album. Since everbody has already touted the very cool If We Wait I see no reason to refute it. Okay so it is not essential but if you love the band I don't see why you'd complain. Not a place to start but a fine addition to that ever-expanding collection of GBV related projects.

Sweet stuff...9 great songs (Trendspotter Acrobat is awful). Heavy Metal Country is perfect.

4 a tasty treat from gbv!
'sunfish holy breakfast' is composed of material produced for the original version of 'under the bushes under the stars'. it is raw, classic guided by voices, and considering you get ten songs for under ten bucks, it's quite a deal. hey, with savings like this, you can save up and buy gbv's 'suitcase', which is something you really should do.
