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.

There’s a good dose of Guided By Voices creeping inside the 86 second, perfectly lazed and disoriented decades-old pop vibe Velvet Davenport’s throwing down in “Run.” You have a minute and a half for this, especially since we have that cute streamer built in to help you spend harddive space more judiciousl...

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame celebrated a quarter century as the self-appointed, oft-suspect gatekeeper for canonical artists in the rock world (no Guided By Voices, no Replacements, no etcs. -- no vote of confidence, RRHOF dudes) with a pair of concerts at Madison Square Garden this past Thursday and Friday. Never mind that the Hall is tech...

As mentioned when we posted "The Red Bow," 19-year-old Santa Rosa resident Ryan Schmale, who records as That Ghost, approaches low-fidelity in a different way than some of his other one-person band peers. Last time I brought up the sound of Guided By Voices in some of his tracks. That's not always there -- as "The Red Bow" suggested -- but it's ...

This recap contains spoilers, but it also contains a montage of Ted hugging people to GBV's "Glad Girls." You're right, they should've used "Smothered in Hugs," but take a look anyway.
