Spending Saturday night trying to get my kids into Guided By Voices. It's not going well so far but I will succeed.

You might like the self titled record from Ex Pilots. Very GBV. There's a couple of absolute bangers on there. The rest is alright but worth a listen just for the standouts. Not been on much of a GBV kick lately, not even sure if I'm up to date with their releases I'll just throw on my fav HITS when I feel like some.

Glad Girls I'd imagine is the way to go.

GBV is happening to me again.
There will be no end of year list. GBV is all I recognise.

That's what I tell myself about my hair. Do you actually have some hair left? Mine is getting very thin on the top these days. Lovely and thick on the sides mind. Getting to the point where I need to no guard it every couple of weeks.

Do you remember when we had the blog and used to make monthly playlists? I would really, REALLY appreciate a GBV playlist now, like a beginner's guide to GBV. There are a few best-ofs floating around but I don't trust them, I trust you.

It is funny you should say that. I have started to make a Spotify playlist of every single good Bob Pollard song ever. I will have it ready for you on Christmas day
Though if you cannot wait until then & don't wish to listen to a 400+ song playlist I'd recommend the best of titled Human Amusements at Hourly Rates. Though it has a few odd choices including shit versions of great songs it is a pretty noble attempt at bringing together most of the hits & fan favourites (no gold star for robot boy is outrageous though)

Been really enjoying the new album today. The Race Is On, The King Is Dead is so addictive.

I'm not sure I'll keep up with their new releases anymore, none is actually bad but his voice is weaker, songs are slower and longer and there's no reason to listen to that instead of their other 10000 releases.

that's fair Barny.
You still get the occasional nugget but yeah, if you have to listen to 4 albums a year to find half a dozen I can understand why people wouldn't want to. I'm of the opinion that the current lineup is to blame for the slow/longer criticism. The records are starting to sound the same, too many power chord full ROCK songs. Some recentish projects he's done as Cub Scout Bowling Pins & EP Ohio capture that short, undercooked lo-fi sound & show he can still deliver the goods.
Don't worry Barny, once my epic playlist is complete the world will be able to hear only the great 475 Bob Pollard songs and everyone can ignore the 3000 that aren't any good.

I remember not liking Mirrored Aztec that much when it came out but got it on tonight and am really enjoying it.

New GBV next week. Apparently their only album this year?
2 of the 3 tracks they released so far are pretty good. One is pretty awful.
Also, been hammering Motivational Jumpsuit this week and it's got some absolutely killer tracks.
