Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard doing what they do best together, writing catchy hook-filled fucking rock and roll. This has a real 80's sort of Wire sound to it. Spiky indie rock from some rad Ohio cats.

Guided By Voices - Live in Daytron ?6°
This was just released this month as a three LP/triple-gatefold album (on coloured vinyl no less) on Bob Pollards Rockathon Records. This isn't a recording from their most recent reunion tour, however, but a show in Dayton from 2001. 43 classic GBV tracks (over 2 hours of music) recorded by a mobile unit, so it sounds crisp and clear. Great live album from a truly legendary band.

Robert Pollard - Not In My Airforce
This is the first solo album released by Guided By Voices frontman Robert Pollard. A couple dudes from GBV play on most of the tracks so any fan of the band will like this. Matt Sweeney from Chavez (who was one of the bands earliest champions and brought them to the attention of Matador Records) contributes guitar and vocals to the track "Quicksilver". Not In My Airforce is on par to Under The Bushes Under The Stars in both sound and cohesiveness. This is essential listening for any fan of GBV and a true classic.
Guided By Voices - Clown Prince Of The Menthol Trailer
This EP was a UK only release put out by the then fledgeling Domino Records (future home to Franz Ferdinand and the Arctic Monkeys). Seven songs in ten minutes. The track "Mad Eater Lad" is one of the bands most catchy and whimsical tracks.
