Vote For Me Dummy 7'' (2014)

Vote For Me Dummy 7''

(2014, Guided by Voices Inc.)

Following in the tradition of the GBV reunion LPs, the band issued a hefty slab of 7'' singles for the release of 2014's Motivational Jumpsuit.  The band issued 5 7'' singles, 3 of which contained exclusive B sides. The two other releases were double A-sides (and are not reviewed here, but can be read about here and here). All 7"s were released on black wax and limited to 1000 copies. 

SIDE A:

Vote For Me Dummy- Same track that appears on Motivational Jumpsuit. Read the review over there. 

SIDE B:

Doctor Driver Demon- 2 Turn off the lights. Shake a shitty percussive piece. Play a single chord piano hits off-beat. Such is the way Tobin Sprout recorded this song, and it's not much more impressive than the recording process. 

Cheese and Blankets- 1 The only thing worse than the title is the fact that it sounds like Sprout is singing "Cheese and MAGGOTS" instead of "blankets." A rare back to back strikeout for Sprout on these two tracks.
