Sebadoh is an indie-rock band originally formed in 1986 in Westfield, Massachusetts, by Dinosaur Jr. bass player Lou Barlow and Eric Gaffney. The band began as a side project, but when Barlow was kicked out of Dinosaur Jr in 1989, Sebadoh became his full-time concern.
Along with such bands as Pavement and Guided By Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer lo-fi, a style of indie-rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques, often on four-track machines.

This song is off the Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock! album
Hello, my name is Justin and E.T. has placed me in a casket filled with cornbread as he smilied at me with his shiny energized and amazing eyes.
Hi!! Here is the tab for the coolest Sebadoe song, "Mean Distance":
Chords: E5, D5, C5
tHESE CHORDS ARE PLAYED WITH ALL THE OTHER STRINGS OPEN AS WELL AS THE NORMAL 5th chord fingerings, so they aren't technically 5th chors, probabably suspened fourth chords, etc., or whatever exactly they are I do not know!!!!!!! AAAAhhhhhhhh!!!!! You must play these chords in a smoothly swaying and rockinglike motion as you smile as well.
E5: 079900, D5: 057700, C5: 035500
yay motherfucker
verse: E5D5E5D5E5 Alone with the magic I know it is a crime swimming in the D5E5D5C5D5C5 oceans of my mind. Below the surface a presence remains subjective D5C5D5 indecision, sings I'm deranged!!! AAAAAAhhhhhh, aaaaaahhhHHHH.... E5D5E5D5E5 Cykokinesis, though all it isn't mine, designed to a D5E5D5C5D5C5 degree, I welcome the life.. Be aware I'm a weary wreck, so wrap D5C5D5 your hands around my neck!! AAAAaaahhhhh..., aaaahhhhhh... E5D5E5D5E5 Half crazed elf friends given an escape, the bands so D5D5C5D5 misgiven I call it MSD...Dreaming of a goddess I admire and trust, C5D5C5 deal with my neurosis and satisfy my lust!!! AAAAaaaahhh.... D5 AAAAAAaaaaahhhhhhhh......
Then for the speed metal ending to this song, use the same chords and play them much faster and insaner and use the words for the second half of the last section (dreming of..) and then go to the beginning SECTION AND ONLY DO THE FIRST HALF OF IT (ALONE WITH..), AND THEN do the first half of the second section (cykokinesis though...), go insane even more and then end, yay
