♫♪  Guided By Voices - “Bad Love Is Easy To Do”

When I was around 10 or 11 years old, I began getting into music. And considering I lived in Dayton, Ohio, the MECCA for NOTHING AT ALL, my anthem was most CERTAINLY “Teenage FBI” by home-town anti-heroes, Guided By Voices. They played it on ALL stations too. I heard it on the (primarily) hip hop and rap station once during their FREE-FOR-ALL hour.

Furthermore, a good pal of mine, Marshall, who got me reading TMT in the first place, is still a HUGE fan of theirs. And lazily/rightfully so, cause it’s ALL he listens to now, considering all the rest of music doesn’t…. sound like GBV? LOL - I also went on this weird double date with this girl once and her mom, who brought Robert Pollard as her date, while he was still married, and he wouldn’t shut UP about that movie, Magnolia. But, even THAT fellah can’t stop the rock.

Anyhow, it’s DEEPLY dope to me GBV snagged their latest video for “Bad Love Is Easy To Do” on Funny Or Die. In no assignment of character, Marshall and I could be either Brian Huskey or Rob Corddry in this video, lashing out at each other, but you know what’s ultimately missing, besides our wastoid friend Nick (a.k.a. Captain George, a.k.a. Shit Ass, a.k.a. Porridge) in the audience, is fucking BEER! Luckily, Funny Or Die popped “Bad Love Is Easy To Do” vid before this Friday, ‘cause Marshall is coming in from the city and we’re going to drink ALL the beer while listening to a tote-bag stuffed with GBV vinyl throughout the ages. Last time it was 7-inches. All. Night. Long. GBV!!!
