Guided by Voices: "The Unsinkable Fats Domino"

New GBV! Whoa...and it sounds pretty much like all of their previous material which is a high compliment. Hey, that's some pretty sweet cover art as well.

Listen: "The Unsinkable Fats Domino"

Robert Pollard: "We All Got Out of the Army"

(Originally written for and posted to Thunder on 02/12/10)

It's easy to dismiss Robert Pollard's post-Guided By Voices work- it's exhausting. I mean, the dude apparently released 10 records in just the past year as the Boston Spaceships, Circus Devils and Robert Pollard (I cannot confirm nor deny this number because he probably released more). I myself become discouraged to explore his work at times because of the vast quantity of full length albums he releases in a year, at times failing badly.
With this being said, "We All Got of the Army" is worth your time if you are a Pollard fan even in the least. There’s nothing revolutionary here- just solid Pollard songcraft which can be rewarding just in itself.
So, I've done the work for you- go ahead and check out Bob's latest.
