New Bob Pollard

I clearly don't get over to Bob Pollard's website enough, because if I did, I would have realized before now that Bob had another album under the Takeovers name coming out on June 12th. Not that anyone should be surprised by the fact that that most prolific songwriter in the recorded history of time has a new album, but still.

You may or may not recall that The Takeovers are actually Bob and former Guided by Voices bassist Chris Slusarenko. They're joined on the new album, entitled Bad Football, by none other than Stephen Malkmus, Tad Doyle (of Tad), Dan Peters (of Mudhoney) and John Moen (of the Decemberists).

"Father's Favorite Temperature" (strongly recommended)

Two more tracks are available here, and you can order the album here.
