Surely by now Robert Pollard's 'spoken word' LP would have leaked - so what's the deal?

Dare I ask what this is meant to be about? A search for beer?

He and Gene Simmons should tour.

Hey...remember that GBV review I wrote where I said Pollard's works were chock-filled with homoeroticism? And remember how everybody thought I was nuts?

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Saturday, 29 January 2005 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Do You Like Rim Rock?
What A Mother Does For Her Son
Bozo The Fucking Clown
Cocker, Meatloaf And Daltry

Suspicious.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 29 January 2005 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

(Ahem...the title, Ned. THE TITLE.)

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Saturday, 29 January 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I *know* THAT! I was talking about other potential evidence.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 29 January 2005 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

'Rim rock,' I ask you.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 29 January 2005 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't that the new daft punk single?

s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 29 January 2005 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

If anyone gets this on mp3, please hook me up! I really want to hear this.

Matthew "Flux" Perpetua, Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I am shocked that I still enjoy Bee Thousand

miccio (miccio), Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Alien Lanes is still enjoyable, too.

Ian John50n (orion), Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

and Under The Bushes and other songs before and after. I just mean that Rob Pollard's whole shtick should have turned me off his voice itself by now.

miccio (miccio), Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

i hate seeing his fucking face though

miccio (miccio), Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

ironic since the dude was awesome to me and my underage hipster friends back in '98, giving hugs and everything.

miccio (miccio), Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...
Your wish has benn granted, Roger.
Relaxation of the Asshole is on soulseek now.
(be sure to download the new version (of soulseek). The search function works way better.)
