"Glad Girls" by GBV

Song: Glad Girls
Artist: Guided by Voices
Album: Isolation Drills
Also try:  Sebadoh, Superchunk, Steven Malkmus, the Hold Steady
Commentary: I don't know what the story is with this video; not sure if they had the technology to make that vid in 2001 (maybe it was cutting-edge!) Anywho, Robert Pollard's a pretty prolific songwriter, so obviously there's some variation in the quality of his contributions. I like this song (and album) pretty well, but go for Bee Thousand for the peak of critical acclaim. A prototypical turn-of-the-decade (90s-00s), lo-fi indie rock song, "Glad Girls"'ll get stuck in your head.
