Robert Pollard may have alienated some GBV fans when he hired a new back up crew. Especially when the "new" album is such a departure, production-wise from the usual lo-fi recordings Pollard & co have become infamous for. In the same foul swoop tho, he's managed to recruit a schwack of new ones with Mag Earwig!. I've always dug the lo-fi ramblin's of GBV....but this new sound was kind of refreshing. Some stand-outs..."I am a Tree", "Bulldog Skin", "I am Produced", "Little Lines".

Mix Tape Vol. 2 - Covers!!!



I`m really trying to update this more often. The descriptions might get a bit lazier, but i`ll try ta get music up here more at least.
So...I`m a sucker for covers...that are well done of course. Here`s 60-some covers that give me goosebumps. You`ll have to excuse the bad tagging, file names, and bitrate on some of these again. Most of them don`t say who the cover is of either, so you`ll have to Google it or something.
