Whenever I sit down to transcribe a Boston Spaceships song, I like to check Chris Slusarenko’s notes that he wrote for the listening parties that were held in the GUIDED BY VOICES Facebook group way back in the summer of 2018. These notes offer some very eye-opening insights into the recording process for the albums he worked on with Robert Pollard. In the case of “Canned Food Demon,” they also clued me in to the fact that Slusarenko used an alternate guitar tuning for his lead parts.
