The Electrifying Contusion - Guided By Voices Mix

A cousin in spirit to the Zappa mixes, this one takes a healthy dose of music NOT FOUND on "Human Amusements At Hourly Rates", a greatest-hits album put together by the band (with the exception of the first song, "Game of Pricks" -- this version included here is the original 7" version, slightly different from the album version).

What's amazing about Guided by Voices is not only their prolific output but that their songs can be beautiful AND concise. To wit, there are 32 (!) tracks on this mix, each from different sources (though there are some repeats, simply because the album is THAT good).

So, on we go.
