has Pollard cited the Grateful Dead as an inspiration ever? Was listening to "Dusted" and felt some Hunter/Garcia vibes with the lyrics.

Usually when I hear a new GBV album my initial sensation is that it might better than any other of the late-period stuff. (Then i stop listening to it and it just blends into my memory of “all the late period stuff”).
Didn’t have that feeling this time. Just feels like another gbv album.

For me Crystal Nuns Cathedral is the best one. But they’ve all been at least pretty good.

They have all been surprisingly strong, imho, though some better than others. I like the recent turn towards longer songs as well, never thought I'd see the days of 40-minute, 10-track GBV records. Last year's Tumblers and Gogglers By Rank (such a GBV title!) was particularly strong. Haven't played the new one yet, it just arrived yesterday.

good pal works for KJHK out of Lawrence and the kids were going to toss a bunch of great vinyl, he saved a bunch (he’s a grad student closer to my age) and sent me two EPs the other day: Plantations of Pale Pink which is nice raw trash and the Surgical Focus 7”, which I love…. “Surgical Focus” might be the GBV song I feel silliest about loving, but the vocal melody just gets trapped in my skull, it’s so good.

Surgical Focus has that lovely descending guitar line on the chrous, right? Great song. I think I have that 7 somewhere too.

Who tosses modern vinyl these days? It’s so easily worth $$$ in the current market...

The apparent resistance to being categorised as a 6 Music Dad station also feels extra muddled when you factor in things such as the recent eight-part 30th anniversary Britpop series – a subject so worn and threadbare surely even Lamacq has run out of things to say on it – or the Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr playing 13 Guided By Voices tracks back-to-back in one Artist in Residence show.

ugh i am so SICK of this!!
It’s the “OK boomer” of the indie music world; a flippant and generalising piss-take that doesn’t possess much weight or sting but carries an undercurrent of ageism, and characterises its target as culturally shallow.
It's worse than that -- it's also sexist and is oozing with ageism. For me, it stings pretty bad because it erases my existence. Does not feel good!

Three (3) albums released in 2023...
which makes a total of...
24 (!!!) full-length records released since 2012 (the reunion).
That number does not include the seven (7!) full-length records released under Robert Pollard's name in the same time frame...
nor any singles, side-projects, collabs, etc.
...insanity!

What’s most surprising to me is how great much of that material is! Dude is on a great run lately. And another new side project coming next month, Rip Van Winkle, with a debut EP.
