  On September 23, 1999, Guided by Voices performed "Teenage FBI" on *The Mike Bullard Show*, a notable moment in the band's career. This live appearance occurred shortly after the release of their acclaimed album *Do the Collapse*, which came out earlier that same year. *Do the Collapse* marked a significant evolution for the band, as it featured a more polished sound and production values, largely due to the involvement of producer Ric Ocasek. At this point in their journey, Guided by Voices was gaining wider recognition and audience, transitioning from cult status towards mainstream acceptance. The performance showcased their unique blend of lo-fi rock and melodic sensibilities, demonstrating their ability to connect with both long-time fans and new listeners, which was essential during this transformative phase of their career. Additionally, this TV appearance highlighted their efforts to reach a broader audience outside the typical indie rock circles.
