Torche isn't a metal band. There, I said it. That's a thought I've entertained in the back of my head for a while now - but I couldn't bring myself to broach the topic for fear of ridicule. "Torche...not a metal band? How dare you, dirty brigand. Have you ever listened to music?" Or at least that's the reaction I imagine. But seriously, after the Guided By Voices songs they covered, the general trajectory of Songs for Singles , and now with Kicking - the first [...]
Frank Yang A better writer might be able to come up with some angle that relates the sudden one-day cold snap that hit Toronto on Saturday and the long-awaited, much-anticipated local debut by Mr Charles Bradley at Lee's Palace, but sadly, all I can come up with is something like how it was cold outside but hot inside and that's pretty weaksauce, so I'll just move on. A little surprisingly, support for this tour came from across the Atlantic in the form of English power trio Little Barrie , who were [...]
The management company for Guided by Voices denies it, but word came today that sounds very much like the GbV "classic lineup" has, once again, disbanded. Nada Mucho.com posted an interview with GbV guitarist Mitch Mitchell that spoke of the reunion, generated when "Matador Records came calling in 2010, inviting the "classic" GbV line-up to perform at the label's twenty-first birthday party in Las Vegas." A year long tour was done (See our piece from the 930 Club show here ) , and the record, Let's Go Eat [...]
![[review] Guided By Voices // Let's Go Eat the Factory](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4049170_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Tympanogram Grade: C+ Let's Go Eat the Factory is the new release by Dayton, OH's recently reunited Guided by Voices, and we all know what that means. GBV and Robert Pollard release massive quantities of music. Small songs and snippets dominate an uneven album. The material is sketchy. There are some great moments, but too many songs bog the album down with tired mediocrity. GBV made some great albums: [...]
Maybe the reunion of Guided By Voices' classic line-up is a momentous occasion for fans of the group, but this album doesn't make a very good case. Let's Go Eat the Factory is the first release from Guided By Voices "classic line-up" in more than 15 years. Music Player (reviews): [...]
Today, we take a look at something a little bit different: the psychedelic death pop band Kent State . Almost all of Kent State's music is available for free on their Bandcamp or on the Paranoidfutures blog, which also contains updates for Doleful Lions , Airlooms , and At The Heart of The World . For a quick sample, you can check out the song "Pains" from Kent State's split album with Doleful Lions at the very bottom. [...]

![[Review/Listen] – Guided By Voices – "Let's Go Eat The Factory"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4035724_lg.jpg)
Tweet Soon, a review of "Let's Go Eat The Factory" , but first a brief history lesson, just in case you don't know the story so far. Guided By Voices haven't released an album in 8 years. Some would probably call it 16 years, since it was in 1996 that Robert Pollard sacked and replaced the rest of the band with an all new line up. That iteration of GBV [...]
It's midnight on a Sunday night, and you are flipping through the channels. There seems to be nothing on T.V., but wait... is that Scrubs being syndicated. Yes it is, and you can't help but watch. After airing for what seemed an eternity, and even surviving switching networks, the first season of the popular show starring Zach Braff reminds viewers why we loved Scrubs . Maybe it was the bromance between J.D. and Turk, perhaps it was the evil janitor, or even the rants by Dr. Cox. At any rate, I couldn't imagine college without being spectacle [...]

En el marco del lanzamiento de su nuevo álbum " The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy " (producido por Chris Shaw de los Super Furry Animals y con guitarras de Doug Gillard, integrante de Guided By Voices), la banda originaria de Brooklyn, Nada Surf , se ha mantenido bastante ocupada. Ayer presentaron un videoclip bastante nostálgico para el tema " When I Was Young ", dirigido por Phil Harder (que también ha dirigido videos para The Fratellis, Pulp, Foo Fighters, etc.) y fue grabado en la ciudad de Nueva [...]
James Mercer and The Shins to release Port Of Morrow on March 20, their first album in six years. Now that we've had our first real viable candidate for arbitrary year-end lists, it's time to look at some other releases on the near horizon that hold that kind of potential. Since the world is supposed to end in May or something, we won't look beyond* that. Joining the excellent Cloud Nothings' Attack On Memory are anticipated releases from The Shins, Dirty Projectors, Sleigh Bells, Sharon [...]

MP3: My Mysterious Death (Turn It Up) The more your hear about the origin of Old Columbus bands, the more you realize how many of them formed accidentally, the result of spontaneity and serendipity. Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments was one such band. On a night about 20 years ago, soon after the dissolution of Ron House's previous band, Great Plains , a band playing Stache's ended early. The story could have ended right there. Everyone at the bar [...]
Afgelopen maand mocht Guided By Voices opdraven bij de show van David Letterman, al een tijdje over de datum maar blijkbaar een nog immer goed bekeken talkshow. Ze speelden daar een van de prijsnummers van hun nieuwe album, Let's Go...
Quels sont les points communs entre Paul Scholes, Robbie Keane et Robet Pollard ? Des noms en carton pour des trombines pas très glamours ayant, de leur savoureuse emprunte houblonnée, marqué les années quatre-vint dix... Oui, mais encore... Des retours au bercail tonitruant en ce début d'année 2012, après une brêve mais regrettée absence ? Voilà, bien vu. Qu'il s'agisse du red devil de rouquin , du villains d' irlandais , ou de l'ancien instituteur de Dayton aux presque mille morceaux dans la besace, la donne est invariable : regagner ses pénates se meut en véritable [...]

Basta, non bisogna più fidarsi delle reunion. È inutile, non ve ne è mai stata una che abbia funzionato, per quanto uno si sforzi di ricordare. Non fa eccezione quella dei Guided By Voices , eroi di culto di un certo lo-fi indie rock un po' straccione tanto in voga nei Nineties. Bisogna dire subito, a scanso di equivoci, che Robert Pollard è stato una delle voci più ispirate di quella generazione: le sue canzoncine inconcluse e profondamente naif hanno fatto scuola, e c'è stato un momento – più o meno nel biennio 1996-1997, tra Under [...]
Por Emmanuel Patrone Si hay algo que nos enseñó la historia del rock, entre tantas cosas maravillosas y otras menos placenteras, es que hay que lanzar miradas de desconfianza ante las reuniones de bandas con "su formación original". Ha habido reuniones exitosas, es cierto, pero ya muchos han caído en esa trampa más relacionada a la explotación de la nostalgia como para que nos emocionemos con la supuesta "vuelta a las fuentes". Con Guided By Voices , se asume, deberíamos quedarnos tranquilos. Sí, se reunió la formación clásica, aquella de dos discos fundamentales para el [...]
