Exclusive Download: Guided By Voices’ New, Improved ‘Class Clown Spots a UFO’
Click to listen to Guided By Voices’ ‘Class Clown Spots a UFO’
“Class Clown Spots a UFO,” the title track from Guided By Voices‘ latest album, has been in the works for years. The earliest version of the tune, called “Crocker’s Favorite Song,” was penned by Robert Pollard back in the late Eighties, and another version ended up on the cutting room floor when the band made their 1994 classic Bee Thousand. Alternate recordings with the newer title appeared on three different GBV compilations. When the mid-Nineties lineup of the band reunited, they revised and re-recorded the song, which now has a polish and harmonic complexity lacking in earlier renditions. The song will be released as a 7-inch single on May 15th and the album Class Clown Spots a UFO will hit stores on June 12th, but you can download the song for free here.
