Always Crush Me - Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes - 1995

This is one of those tracks on Alien Lanes that most people think the album would be better off without. There's plenty of GBV weirdness to this track for connoisseurs: the sort of...Orientalism feel to the guitar track, like the attempt to play the sound track to a Charlie Chan movie, the "up two octaves past his range" last verse, and of course the gold mine of mid-period Pollard lyrics to be found within.
