Absolutely, it was a good write up. One of those bands I wish I could hear for the first time again.

I can’t. I mean I won’t spend that much time away from other music.

The Fall are so much harder to wrap your head around.

I think that touches on something you can take or leave. He’s not Mark E Smith.

But you’re doing yourself a disservice comparing GBV to the Fall and I ****ing know that’s exactly what you did. You thought well Mark E Smith made a million records and reinvented himself a million times and still stayed true to who he is and yes man you’re right but you don’t have to be God to be a god.

Pollard is ****ing supernatural. When you see a ghost you don’t say I know this other ghost blah blah. You say **** this ghost mother****er has a one in a billion power to transcend reality because that mother****er can haunt you.

Once they’re in the web of unassailability they can’t be surpassed even by a greater power. The laws of nature no longer apply.

ultimately there's no rules and there's totally a space for something like GBV where they churn out cloudy melodic gems eternally

Good work lads it appears we have come to an agreement.

Not near enough GBV love going on so I'm reviving this thread. Mostly because I listened to "From a compound eye" today which is maybe the only GBV side project, in this case a Pollard solo album, that rivals the best of GBV. I defy you to give it a listen and not recognize the greatness.

I didn't even know there was a GBV thread. I love these guys. Bee Thousand is one of the greatest indie albums ever and albums like Alien Lanes, Mag Earwhig!, Do the Collapse, and Isolation Drills aren't so bad either.

The producers of Scrubs must have liked them too because they used this song on one of their TV shows (my favorite GBV song by the way)

What a great song. Never caught that on scrubs. I love when shows have music producers with taste.

Bee Thousand one of my favs
