Released simultaneously, COAST TO COAST CARPET OF LOVE and STANDARD GARGOYLE DECISIONS represent two sides of former Guided By Voices leader Robert Pollard's musical personality. Where GARGOYLE is a full-on rocker, CARPET OF LOVE showcases the more melodic aspects of Pollard's songwriting. This is where the '60s pop influences that have always been part of his work manifest themselves. That said, this is no hothouse flower of an album: things still chug along at a pretty good pace, but the popster that lies deep in Pollard's heart gets a bit more of an airing here.
Recording information: Waterloo Sound, Kent, OH.
Photographer: Sarah Zade Pollard.
Personnel: Robert Pollard (vocals, guitar); Robert Pollard; Todd Tobias (guitar, guitars, keyboards, bass guitar, drums); Chris Sheehan (piano).
Audio Mixer: Todd Tobias.

Coast To Coast Carpet Of Love CD music
$12.99
In redefining prolific, Rob Pollard's career posits an interesting question: Can an artist devalue his own output--though it's of consistently high quality--with sheer volume? Pollard certainly seems hell-bent on trying. Indeed, if he could design a way for fans to plug into his brain and record each momentary flash of inspiration and every waking thought, he would probably do so and forego the annoyance of having to actually make records in the first place.
The Fading Captain Series--a collection of 30-plus records with Pollard posing as Various Artists--was the closest he could get to such technology. CRICKETS: THE BEST OF THE FADING CAPTAIN SERIES, however, finds Pollard culling the highlights and actually offering fans and newcomers ...

| | Robert Pollard Superman Was A Rocker CD (2008)
Coast To Coast Carpet Of Love music CDs
$8.55 (MP3 Available for Download)
First things first: take a good look at Superman's outfit. Lots of bright colors, big pop art logo on his chest, snazzy cape on his back...clearly, that guy was a mod, not a rocker, even if he did spend half his time wearing a lame off-the-rack suit as Clark Kent. Second and more important: this album is not a rocker, and despite the list of personnel on the back, it's not a Guided by Voices record either. Robert Pollard stitched together Superman Was a Rocker by adding new vocal and melodic bits to a number of instrumental recordings he made with various musicians between 1980 and 2007, including former GBV members such as Tobin Sprout, Doug Gillard, Mitch Mitchell, and Nate Farley. This approach might suggest that Pollard was a little short on fresh ideas the day he decided to make a new album, but the results of this visit to Pollard's dead letter office makes it clear he should have bit the bullet and started from scratch. Most of the cuts on Superman Was a Rocker aren't songs so much as melodic fragments, ideas that never fully resolve themselves or coalesce into anything more than rough sketches, and when the most entertaining selection on the album consists of Mitch Mitchell and Kevin Fennell being berated by some guy with a Southern accent during a radio interview, it becomes clear that even by Pollard's "warts and all" standards, this is little more than a dressed-up batch of throwaways and discards. Robert Pollard used to seem like a nonstop ...

Come Visit Me at Http:// rickstallworth.netCopy and paste this site to your browser! Youll be glad you didRickMy drive for singing started when I was about 8 years old in Cleveland Ohio.. My mother sang in the church and I was always sitting anxiously on the front row waiting for my turn to sing and show off and I think that's where I get my deep passion for music. When I was in Elementary, JR and High school I was always in some type of choir, singing group or talent show. David Ruffin and Eddie Kendicks of the Temptations were my idols. I worked a paper route when I was 13 years old and saved up enough to buy a microphone and reel to reel tape recorder so I could practice over and over again perfecting every note and I have to admit it didn't sound to good at first! I wore a lot of phonograph needles out listening to a song over and over again. I was even in a gospel Singing group called the Ruffin singers we performed with the Mighty clouds of Joy once, that was a big thrill! I had many other influences though, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross Brooke Benton, The Mills Brothers The Chilites, The Dells, The Manhattans and The Dramatics and countless others. This CD is a salute to all these great and talented people that inspired me never ...
