Seems like there was some other recent Hitchcock album (Jewels for Sophia?) where every review quoted the same line. What am I thinking of? Anyone have any thoughts on Robert Pollard's catalog outside of Guided by Voices? Lately, I've been realizing just how bewilderingly vast it is. Didn't realize just how many "bands" he has been in. 15 of them? 20? Even to the point of him recording new vocals for an old Phantom Tollbooth album? Whoa. I remember that album from when it was new....

I have some from it. Of course, it's scattershot. To me, the gems are: Not In My Airforce (solo) Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department (Pollard + Doug Gillard) anything by Airport 5 (Pollard + Tobin Sprout) From A Compound Eye (solo) What I've heard of his new one, Normal Happiness, strikes me as fine but lacking spark -- almost (gasp) consistent. - -- Dolph ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2006 21:52:59 -0500 From: "James Francis" Subject: extra ticket for Hoboken Saturday show??? Very sorry to do this, but I waited too long before ordering my tickets. If anyone has one extra ticket for the Saturday evening show in Hoboken, could you please contact me? Thanks so much!
