Thurston Covers Guided By Voices.

With more than 16 records released throughout the late-'80s and '90s, Guided By Voices are one of the most influential indie-rock bands to emerge from the Golden Age of Alternative Rock. And now Robert Pollard's crew of lo-fi slacker rockers are getting the full-blown tribute treatment from their peers on Sing for Your Meat, a compilation that features covers from '90s icons like Lou Barlow, Thurston Moore, the Flaming Lips, the Breeders' Kelley Deal, and others (available this spring). SPIN has an exclusive stream of Moore's contribution: Check out his cover of GBV's track "Stabbing a Star," from their 1996 EP Sunfish Holy Breakfast, below.

Moore delivers a spot-on rendition of GBV's lo-fi, one-and-a-half-minute oddity: the Sonic Youth guitarist conjures deranged riffage and squealing amp death over an awesomely ramshackle beat that sounds like it's getting banged out on dented garbage cans. Moore's been dabbling in lighter, more alt-country-esque fare on recent solo albums like 2007's Trees Outside the Academy, but his cover of "Stabbing a Star" marks a refreshing return to his classic, punk-as-fuck 1995 solo album Psychic Hearts.

Isn't this cover like 10 years old? (Cool that it's coming out again, but Spin's 'exclusive' stream is not so much...)

haha. i was thinking the same thing... I thought i had heard it before..

[...] which he recorded with his side-project Male Slut in the mid-'90s [...]

No one ever accused Spin of being ahead of the curve.

do they even publish a magazine anymore? i honestly have no clue.

Looks like they went back and edited it, if what Hiland posted is a direct quote from what was initially on the site? Perhaps someone is reading this thread. Funny!

I actually got a free subscription to Spin last year when I bought concert tickets for a local festival. I don't think I looked at it once.

yeah..i did a cut and paste.
