And so the songs keep coming. “I write ’em on my acoustic, into the boombox, and I’ll send ’em to Chris, or send ’em to [producer] Todd [Tobias], and they’ll do the music. And then when they’re done, they’ll send it back to me, mixed, and I’ll do the vocals and it’s finished. It just frees me up to create constantly instead of having to worry about being in the studio. I work quickly. I just want the song to be there and go onto the next one.”

Amiri Baraka put it best in his poem "In the Funk World": "If Elvis Presley is King/Who is James Brown, God?" So, by that logic, is Fela Anikulapo Kuti higher than or equal to God?

Only a fool would’ve taken Guided by Voices’ 2004 break-up as a reason to believe we’d heard the last from frontman Robert Pollard, a Budweiser-slugging former grade-school teacher who’s never met a three-chord hook he didn’t like. Robert Pollard, "Supernatural Car Lover"

From the first song, notice was served at the Paradise last Friday that Robert Pollard's first solo tour would be a different beast from the raucous, shambling piss-ups that marked Guided by Voices gigs of old.
