I heard about the band and the album after reading a Spin article about the best albums you never heard. I looked all over for the album but none of the stores had it yet. I did find The Clown Prince of the Menthol Trailer, so I bought that and had to go out to sea for a few months. During that time at sea I absorbed that EP. When we got back to Japan, I went hunting for Bee Thousand again. No go, but I found Propeller/Vampire on Titus double album. It blew my mind again. Most of my friends were knee deep in Pearl Jam, but when we would get to drinking I would pull out my GBV and it got their attention a little, but not until I got Bee Thousand, was I able to convert a lot of folks to the ways of GBV. Bee Thousand solidified GBV as my favorite band of all time and it still is since 1994. Thank you for sharing your story. I love hearing about how people fell in love with the same band I have loved for years.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368324665984674631.post-63506112689992996602012-05-21T09:39:39.979-04:002012-05-21T09:39:39.979-04:00Had a nearly experience hearing Bee Thousand in my...Had a nearly experience hearing Bee Thousand in my local store in Pittsburgh. Initial reaction to "Hardcore UFOs": sorta Byrdsy, R.E.M.-ish... at ten bucks it was a bargain to take a chance on the cd, and it started an odyssey that hasn't quite ended.-Rupehttp://playmixt.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
