GBV/Robert Pollard

[stevetothepast]

Anybody like Guided by Voices on these boards? I personally love them. If I had to pick an album to be my favorite, I'd say bee thousand is the best.

Any thoughts on the musical genius that is Uncle Bob?

Yep...Erics Trip/Superfriendz/Hayden/Inbreds/Miracle Legion...This movie is genius

GBV has a lot of really good music, yeah. I haven't heard anything special by the Circus Devils and I really only like a few of his solo songs.

My introduction to GBV was a concert in 2004. It was a great fuckin' show--3 hours of music as the band gets drunker and drunker. The encore was ridiculous (and terrible!).

Dude I'm living with is a huge Pollard fan and has a full CD wallet of his stuff.

I've invested quite a bit into it as well:
As far as purchased cd's I've got:
Alien Lanes
Propeller
Earthquake Glue
Fast Japanese Spincycle EP
Dayton Ohio 19something and 5
Hold on Hope EP
Suitcase 2 (b-sides boxset)
bee thousand

As far as Solo I don't like it too much either, I've got Bubble, Zoom EP, and silverfish trivia.

He has so many projects going on, I can't keep up, I haven't heard anything from the circus devils.

Have you seen the electrifying conclusion dvd? It's awesome.

Oh man, this guy has all the GBV albums, all the solo albums, and probably every "b-sides" type deal.

But no, I don't know too much about any of it. I have bee thousand and a couple of other albums of my own.
