Guided by Voices Quotes

It won�t as that entity, but I�m going to continue doing stuff under my own name. In fact, I just finished doing a double album with (producer) Todd Tobias. I�m always ahead of myself, and that was one of the reasons I decided that it was a good time for Guided By Voices to end. My girlfriend had bought me a CD burner and I was able to go through this huge box of cassettes that I used to tell people were in a suitcase; actually they used to be in a suitcase and then I emptied �em into a big, huge box. Anyway, they�re from the late �70s on, and I�ve been able to go through all those cassettes and burn �em to CD so I could catalog them. I found probably 50 songs, I have about 20 CDs� worth of stuff. I had all this material that I felt was personal because it�d been there since the early �80s. It didn�t feel like a band project; it felt like I should do it. But I thought it was so good, the material so strong, it didn�t deserve to be pushed aside and put on the Fading Captain series, which doesn�t get as much exposure as a Guided By Voices record or something we do with Matador.
