NR & FoxBen discuss GBV
 

Ben, I thought of an amazing GBV song this morning: "The Ascended Master's Grogshop." I'm sure you've heard it, but if not -- stop what you're doing and hear it. It's so short and amazing and pretty.

Now then on the bright side
Demons do not dare
Nor do I think they care
To join us in a toast
No they never want to boast

It was originally on the "I Am A Tree" single, but was reissued on the HARDCORE UFO'S box.

also, a site of great reference:

hey guys this thread is gay

Hey dude, haha, a thread only for both of us, woah !

I've got the "I Am a Tree" single on CD, it's one of my favorite songs on Mag Earwhig! and yep, "The Ascended Master's Grogshop" is a really good song.

I already know the GBVDB, it's an amazing website, very complete !

word. You have me kind of back into things with them. I haven't really even listened to them in at least 3 yrs. So. Yeah. I think the last record I bought was Pollard's SUPERMAN IS A ROCKER. Or um. The Circus Devils album from 2007 then.

Hey, I'm glad I got you back into GBV again, once you're into them again, you can hardly stop !

I have never heard Superman Was a Rocker, I'm not really a fan of Pollard's solo records (except Choreographed Man of War, which is amazing, and Not in My Airforce). On the other hand, I think Boston Spaceships is a great follow-up to GBV, it's a really good band and they've got a new record coming out next month !

PMs perhaps?

"I told you it wasn't such a good idea !"

why? Nothing we're saying here is "private."

alright well... whatever.

Way to ruin a thread guys (NR, there's still a GBV thread somewhere on the board, let's bump it)

I'm getting too old for this shit.

Shocker in Gloomtown rules, original and Breeders cover (great video too). Actually all of Grand Hour EP rocks.

The Grand Hour is great... BREAK EVEN !!!

Grandfather Westinghouse is one of my favourite songs of theirs. They have equally loads of good and crap songs. That's the way it goes when you go for a sprawling discography.

everything single thing they did between about 1992 and 1996 is fantastic, before and after that period there are plenty of great songs, but some fairly forgetable ones too.

I <3 GBV. That is all.
