Courtesy of Stereogum, for a limited time only, you can purchase Guided By Voices' "Bee Thousand" in MP3 format for only $3.99 US through Amazon.com. Essential. PS. President Elect Barack Obama posts a comment at the Stereogum link above about 8 or 9 comments down. ...Ok, it's not Obama, but it was funny reading it. Update: Ok, MP3 downloads through Amazon.com only available to US residents apparently(according to J.S. in the comments). Everyone else can go screw themselves...well that's how I interpret it.
