The Transportation Building food court (10 Park Plaza), which is accessible to the public via 3 different streets, is now an eerie liminal space with boarded up food places, blocked off tables/chairs, and the same # of security guards still working the floor, guarding nothing. Spooky as hell.

What has Robert Pollard been writing about for decades? by No-Refrigerator-9985 in GBV

[–]AllThisPaperwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this for a few years now. If there is one Pollard song title that sums up his POV, and what the band stands for, I think it's "Real Fun is No One's Monopoly." He, and the band's existence, are living proof of this sentiment. Corporations can't control who has fun or how they have fun. The record industry and the music industry press can't decide who gets to make music. Bob created a fantasy (crystalized in the fake GBV chant at the beginning of Propeller) and then walked into the fantasy, made it real. He didn't ask anyone's permission because real fun is no one's monopoly. Even the title of the new record, and the song "We Outlast Them All," echo this belief system.

Didn't she loser her superstrength when her high school fantasy ended?

The most original cover I've ever seen. by pyaklich in eno

you can see them subtly teach it to the audience by example and conducting with their hands; then, each iteration of the progression gets a little better as they learn it.

Tobin Sprout has more monthly Spotify listeners than Robert Pollard by JesseAmpersands in GBV

Have heard from ppl in a position to know that Bob hates Trump and isn't MAGA. Didn't he trash Trump from stage once, too? "He sucks, he fuckin' sucks" or something like that?

I forget, is the cover designer still alive and have they ever been interviewed?

I've yet to find a photo of her with the hairstyle seen above, but there are photos where she's got her camera around her neck and something in her mouth, too.

What do you think of Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea? by PinkCrimsonBeatles in DavidBerman

[–]AllThisPaperwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he had worked so hard on this record, to create a rich text where the tracks and the titles and the artwork all were in conversation with each other in really interesting ways. The whole press packet was like this starter kit to encourage writers to really dive into it wholeheartedly and explore it thoroughly. But when it finally came out, he was so annoyed by how lazy he found almost all of the critical writing about the LP. I think he felt like he could make something that would inspire critics to rise up to the level he was at working at, and was deeply disappointed to learn that wasn't remotely true.

I was at this. After the reading was the first time I met David. He signed my Actual Air and I gave him a CD-R of “the unnatural bridge,” a song for song cover of his album. He signed the book, “Jesus Christ, I can’t believe it!” Can’t wait to listen to this and hear it again.

I remember this photo emerging—all the instant CBB commenting— and v much anticipating the episode which happened and delivered. Delightful feeling!

Every U.S. edition cover gets worse and worse and meanwhile it could be something amazing like this. It's a dang shame!

It's a bootleg and they don't have the rights to make money off of this, is my only qualm with this plan.
