Guided By Voices - "My Impression Now" (mp3)
Guided By Voices - "My Impression Now (acoustic)" (mp3)

This song made such an impression on me toward the beginning of my Guided By Voices fandom that I never quite realized it wasn't on any of their core albums. In fact, even the studio version, taken from Fast Japanese Spin Cycle, sounds wrong to me with its irregular drum rolls. I must have entirely learned it from the delicate acoustic version that the band did in 1997 on "KitKat Acoustic Break", a (fortunately) ill-fated attempt at advertainment mailed out to college radio stations, featuring Pat DiNizio of the Smithereens schmoozing with 'alternative' bands.
