Robert Pollard, Etc.


Recommended Posts

lost highway - There's no such thing as cutting in. I played HLHT yesterday. Sounds nice to my ears. I see it is one of his most critically-acclaimed solo releases. Right out of the gate, I really like "I Killed a Man Who Looks Like You" and "Airs". I think that or Fiction Man will be my next Pollard purchase.

Cool thanks. I've made a conscious effort over the years to get to know the gbv classics, and I even worked through the reunion albums to put together a 25 track 'best of' for that era (which is still not quite as good). I suppose it's time to get to know the solo stuff better.

Thoughts on Ricked Wicky?  I liked a couple of the songs off the first 2 releases.  I just picked up Swimmer To A Liquid Armchair and, after three listens, I love it.

 

Love it. Best non-GbV Bob stuff since Boston Spaceships, in my humble opinion.  :cheers

I'd appreciate it if you (or anyone else) could recommend a dozen or so Circus Devils songs I must have.

Too bad this fun little sampler is now out of print:

 

http://gbvdb.com/album.asp?albumid=2681

 

Here are my "must-listen-to" Circus Devils tunes in chronological order (but keep in mind I tend to prefer the more accessible [relatively speaking] Circus Devils songs over the extremely weird and noisy stuff):

 

Apparent the Red Angus

A Birdcage Until Further Notice

Last Punk Standing

Bull Spears

In Madonna's Gazebo

Pattern Girl

Outlasting Girafalo

Bogus Reactions

War Horsies

Rose in Paradise

Summer Is Set

I-Razors

The Girls Will Make It Happen

He Had All Day

Every Moment Flame On

Hard Art

Bam Bam Bam

8 Legs to Hold You

All the Good Ones Are Gone

Cyclopean Runways

 

If you want to start with an entire album, I'd go with Sgt. Disco, although it seems like a lot of Bob fans would pick The Harold Pig Memorial, Ataxia or Mother Skinny.

My current list is at 350+. I wish I had it handy as I would post it here.  Unless, I overlooked them, here are a couple more to check out.

 

Cosmos - Jar of Jam, Ton of Bricks >>> Zeppelin Commander (2009) 

The Takeovers - Turn to Red  >>> Be It Not For the Serpentine Rain Dodger (2006)

 

 

EDIT - I now see, Zeppelin Commander on your list. Nice !  While I do recommend you seeking out the other track, be warned, it sounds like it was recorded on a close&play. Lol

Gave it a background listen a few days ago.  Digging it with a proper listen as I type.  The 1st track, "Excellent Extension", is, for lack of a better term, excellent. 

 

Edited to add that Track 4, "Fall Over Yourself", is another instant winner.

 

Edited again to sing the praises of Track 7, "Deaf Dumb and Blind Girl".  Pollard's Who worship strikes again.

 

Another edit to express my strong like for Track 13, "Third Grade Aviator".

 

Track 15, "Doctor Boyfriend" = another winner.
