Forever Since Breakfast
1986 EP by Guided by Voices
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forever Since Breakfast is the first release by American indie rock band Guided by Voices, released on vinyl in 1986. In contrast to the lo-fi sound they would cultivate in the coming years, this EP was recorded in a professional studio, and features a nearly slick sound that anticipates their late 1990s major-label efforts. Robert Pollard, the band's driving force, has since derided the EP's sound as sterile. Like much of their early output, the songs featured bear a prominent college rock influence, particularly from R.E.M..

The title comes from an interview of Charles Manson on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow. When asked how old he was, Manson answered, "Um, forever. Since breakfast... I can't remember."[2]
