It’s no secret that MAGNET is a big fan of Guided By Voices (they were just on the cover of issue #82)—from their early beginnings to their recent classic-lineup reunion. Their self-released Let’s Go Eat The Factory (out January 17) is a homemade, homegrown record that every GBV nerd will love. Created across the country in various band members’ basements, Let’s Go Eat The Factory is a warm, intimate LP that captures Bob Pollard and Co.’s commraderie and sense of fun. Download album tracks “Doughnut For A Snowman” and “Unsinkable Fats Domino” below.

sorry, but both tracks are total crap.
For what it’s worth, Tropics of Meta has an essay on GBV’s long and storied career here, along with a Spotify playlist offering one idiosyncratic riff on the band’s greatest hits:
