I have a reached a new low (high?) in GBV fandom
I just ordered the just-released second volume of Robert Pollard stage banter, "Asshole 2: Meet the King." Who wouldn't want to listen to it, though, after reading this description:
Meet the King: Asshole 2. It's the second comedy (read: stage banter) album from Robert Pollard. It's available now on Yuk Yuk Motherfucker Records. Meet the King is the follow up to 2005's Relaxation of the Asshole. Recorded mostly during the final Guided By Voices tour, you get to hear Bob's routines on family ("Fuck you Dad!"), offer advice to the youngsters ("we got any college kids out there looking for jobs? Get wasted when you do your interview!"), take on modern music ("Three years ago I thought Alien Ant Farm was the worst it could get. Now I look back nostalgically on Alien Ant Farm") and even examine his own career ("I'm Burt Bacharach in reverse").
Good thing I have the turntable set up, since it's vinyl only.
