This guy is Rock n Roll! I have no idea why he's not a super star. He's been rocking out for 30 years. Drinking bottles of booze and doing high kicks and mic twirls on stage like a young Roger Daltry.
I just saw his solo show the other night and it was like a mini Guided By Voices show.Anyone like him?

funny i like me more produced stuff. I know the hard core fans like the stuff he recored in his basement on a single track tape recorder.

how about mag earwig? thats pretty fat sounding (8 track?)

that's a good one. Funny I just started to get into him in the past 5 years. I grew up in Ohio and always thought GBV was just a bunch of old drunk dudes. Now that I'm an old drunk dude myself I have more respect for 'em.

fanfuckingtastic the GBV are by the way! where do you really start, that many tunes and words man.
i met pollard in atlanta 2 year ago and we had a few beers and he said "ya know mickey, the smell of a woman (any
woman) merely suggested by
the stink of me is
often sufficient to make me
abandon EVERYTHING.!' likewise bob lad, likewise. the amount of times i've just canned the job at lunch after spotting some tail from the office window and went out on the prowl! daft eh?

a few years ago my girlfriend stopped bob on his way offstage and said "I'm from Dayton" he just looked at her and said "Me too" and kept on walkin'.
It was like he was sayin' "Have a badge jacko" too.

I love Uncle Bob. Alien lanes, bee thousand IMHO is their best albums ever (original line up).
I own most of their old albums and I think suitcase is a must have for all true GBV kids.

just posted Tobin Sprouts work in the PBS. He was in GBV not sure if he was an og member but great artists. We bought one of his prints and he signed and personilized it.

im a big gbv fan...my friend ayal was in a band called hershel savage and the american flag which was on the same label as gbv...they used to open for gbv all the time and do gbv covers...i love roberts album "not in my air force"
and alien lanes is a classic in my opinion....kinda find it funny that robert was a kindergarten teacher before..
