Musick that Needed Work - T: Tobin Sprout

The previous post was brought to you all by April 1
 
 
 

 

Still working my way through the alphabet, emptying out the Musick that Needs Work folder. Somehow three in a row have had the most needing work. R was RIDICULOUS, S even more in-SANITY, & now T. I think T stands for TERROR. Even having removed a shit ton of bands with The (The Clash, The Dammed, The Legendary Pink Dots, The Slits, etc...nothing I could do with ones like The Tape Beatles, The Tropicals, worst conundrum The The), I still won't be finished this month. I even paired it down a bit as I had some releases that where in the T section that were mis-filed (the title started with T not the group) & some that I didn't really care about (starting therefore with S for SHIT) & just deleted. Still, this is going to be a lot of work, so best just begin...

Starting off with a pair by Tobin Sprout. Last January Frenz of NSS Richie Muster requested some Tobin Sprout. I shared a few that I had on hand but told him at the time that I had a few more that were resting in the MtNW: T folder. I'll start with those. 

 



Tobin Sprout is a native of Dayton, Ohio. He became second songwriter & guitarist of the famed Dayton band Guided by Voices from 1987 to 1997 (again from 2010 to 2014). A self-taught musician, he employing a four-track recorder at his home studio which contributed greatly to the lo-fi sound of GbV. He had a busy solo career as well.
