Bob, would you and Living Praise Choir lead us in 'To God Be the Glory?'

Help me identify the source of this Guided By Voices sample.

Can anyone identify the source of the spoken-word sample that begins "Expecting Brainchild" from Vampire on Titus? My google-fu fails me.

I doubt you'll ever find it. Part of the lo-fi aesthetic was to use a lot of 'found' sounds - Bob probably recorded it from his TV one night.

There seem to be quite a few Living Praise Choirs. Here's one on Facebook. It even has "Bob & Debbie Mason, Directors 1980's". Maybe he's your Bob. Why not get in touch and see if he recognises the sample?

Have you asked this over at Disarm The Settlers?

Those dudes know everything about GBV (and, in fact, some of them know Bob Pollard personally).
