david coverversion: guided by voices vs. ...and you will know us by the trail of dead

here's something to try: write approximately 1200 songs and see how many of them are good. chances are, if you're robert pollard and co. then, yes, most of them are good, great even. you can pick up any of the guided by voices releases and be amazed at the quality of the song, even when the recording quality was a little lacking, as most of the voices earlier stuff was recorded in a basement on a 4-track. first timers should check out 'alien lanes', 'under the bushes under the stars', and 'bee thousand'. the latter giving us the track 'the gold heart mountaintop queen directory' brilliantly covered by ...and you will know us by the trail of dead, mostly known for doing shit their own way and often being accused of not having songs on their albums. first time trailers should seek out 'world's apart' or 'source tags & codes', 'world's apart' being my favorite record of theirs. this version of gold heart is from their latest effort 'so divided', which is totally rad.
