Guided By Voices – “Unproductive Funk”
What do you think the phrase “Unproductive Funk” means to Robert Pollard? Does it mean that he sometimes goes an entire morning without writing any scratchy power-pop jams with inscrutable lyrics? A whole day? What? In the entire history of American indie rock, Robert Pollard might be the least unproductive figure out there. (He’s also […]
