Wish in One Hand... is a 1997 Guided by Voices EP from the gap between lineups, when Robert Pollard, the Dayton band's one constant, rounded up a one-off crew to get a few more songs down. That's how it always went with Pollard, a man who never met a spare afternoon he couldn't fill with a tune.
Its claim to fame is "Teenage FBI", a buzzing, compact blast of British Invasion hooks and garage-rock fuzz that was too good to leave on a stopgap. Pollard cut it again, and the new version became the first single from Do the Collapse.
