Suitcase: Failed Experiments and Trashed Aircraft is a four-CD box set released by Guided by Voices in 2000. Named for the reputed literal suitcase in which the bandleader Robert Pollard allegedly stored his hundreds of unreleased tapes, the set is a trawl through decades' worth of material from throughout (and even predating) Guided by Voices' recorded career.

Each song was credited to a fictitious band name. Variously featured are acoustic demos, album session outtakes, live tapes, rehearsals and unfinished tape collage fragments which span from the mid-1970s to 1998.

This box set contains Pollard's earliest recorded song, 'little jimmy the giant', which was recorded in 1974.
