Today we announce a partnership that brings you classic indie rock albums at hugely discounted prices. Every week, Amazon.com is letting us select one album from its MP3 store to go on super sale (up to 75% off normal prices). Hopefully you'll be able to add these must-own LPs to your library without breaking your budget. First deal up: Guided By Voices' Bee Thousand.Released in 1994 by Scat, an independent label then located in Cleveland, Bee Thousand was Guided By Voices' seventh album. The Dayton group, a ragtag lineup of friends centered around Robert Pollard and vast quantities of beer, had been making music together as GBV since 1983. They released a number of other earlier gems (1992's Propeller, 1993's Vampire On Titus, etc.), but this 20-track/tidbit collection crystallized their lo-fi collagist approach to pop songwriting and, via Matador's help with distribution, propelled the band onto stereos far beyond their hometown.

GBV’s “Keep It In Motion” comes from the “classic” lineup’s second full-length this year. First of all, that these indie elders are producing at this clip, let alone with results as assured and ingratiating as “Keep It In Motion,” should throw most young rock-band wh...
“Class Clown Spots A UFO” is the title track from Guided By Voices’ forthcoming LP, though it’s been knocking around under different titles, and via different recording sessions, for a very long time. (Rolling Stone pegs the first iteration as an ’80s-era Pollard composition titled “Cro...
