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.
