COMPACT DISCUSSION: “If you find a full length song in there, feel free to play it.“ (1995) The reason today’s podcast is going up late is there are 28 tracks on this freakin' cd.  Not that Bob and Tim are complaining as they are both fans of indie royalty Guided By Voices, specifically their 1995 album “’Alien Lanes.”  So, as per the format of their reoccurring segment “Compact DiscUssion” they are chatting up EVERY track on the album . Which is 28. Of varying ... ahm.. lyrical content and... musical ... well ... experimentation ...with... you know, drums.. and … one track with strings... ugh... maybe next time just dive in that Lou Grahm cassingle Tim mentions at the end.  Thanks for your patience.
