after taking some time to listen to about 20-30 records over the past 2/3 days, i decided that there was still a bunch of great stuff that i didnt mention in my top 14.5 of the year. so, i came up with another 11 records that i think are more than deserving of more attention. i could have actually come up with another ten but felt that a solid 25.5 records was good enough. although, i may get bored an post the other ten records, but i doubt it. one thing that continues to sadden me is that lack of [...]
Let It Beard excels for the fact that it sprawls but also punches, that it feels both careful and ragged. As Robert Pollard's attention shifts, at least partly, back to Guided by Voices (who, post-comeback tour, have two studio LPs due next year), he has brought his trio Boston Spaceships to a close. The chief, but definitely not only vehicle for Pollard's creative impulses the past few years, Boston Spaceships consisted of Pollard, John Moen, and Chris Slusarenko. Their hallmarks were the use of older castoff Pollard songs and compact, energetic, tuneful pop-rock. All four...
Slothbear Cantor On Album Review ALBUM REVIEW: A Slothbear is what do you get when you mix some mammals and paint in Staten Island which forms the release they call Cantor On . Some may write this part of New York off as just a breeding ground for lap dance vixens but we won't be so narrow minded. We thought we heard something deeper when we featured them in our Crop-O-Singles over the summer and here we are proven right. They do have more moves than a Go-Go dancer! This [...]

![[Album Review/Listen] – Boston Spaceships – "Let It Beard"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3659500_lg.jpg)
Tweet Robert Pollard , lead singer of Boston Spaceships, has always been a prolific musician. Guided By Voices , his first band, often made albums running to around twenty songs. Since disbanding GBV in 2004, though, Pollard has reached James Brown like levels of output, releasing fourteen solo albums in seven years. In 2007, along with three solo records, he released one record with each of his four side projects. He added a fifth side project in 2008, Boston Spaceships, and in 2011 [...]

Twenty-six songs? Certainly, a good portion of these would be just filler and noise, right? Wrong. What Let It Beard , the latest album from Boston Spaceships , accomplishes is taking you on a journey that leaves you feeling as if you just had an out-of-body experience. No, there weren't any drugs used in the writing of this review. With two-thirds of the band having been in Guided by Voices (Robert Pollard, Chris Slusarenko) and the other from The Decemberists (John Moen), Boston Spaceships have some strong songwriting capabilities. Finding these strong tracks isn't as hard as [...]
Assuredly, everyone's heard of supergroups like the punk powerhouse OFF! or Mick Jagger and company's Superheavy . But how's this for a power combo: John Moen of The Decemberists, Chris Slusarenko (formerly of Guided By Voices), and GBV frontman Robert Pollard coming together to form Boston Spaceships . Yeah, that sound you just heard was your jaw violently smacking the floor. The trio, who first started playing together as a unit in June 2008, have released four other albums and several 73 singles. But today, they've released their most auspicious work to date, [...]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars How does one review something written by Robert Pollard? You know there are going to be some amazing tunes, but you know there will probably be a few that you can toss away, especially when there's 26 tracks. But, in the case of Let It Beard , the latest release by Boston Spaceships , the majority of the trucks are solid, and you'll hardly find any throw-away tunes. "Blind 20-203 kind of gave me a start, building [...]
Boston Spaceships Let It Beard GBV Records On the heels of a successful reunion tour by Robert Pollard's first, and far more popular band, Guided by Voices, and with persistent rumors that the classic lineup of that band (Those largely responsible for albums like Propeller, Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, and Under the Bushes, Under the Stars) will release an album of new material, it's been easy to overlook what Pollard has accomplished with John Moen and Chris Slusarenko in Boston Spaceships. Don't. For the past three and-a-half years and four albums, [...]
