It's kind of silly when you think about it. Most of them are really nothing more than Pollard and a bunch of indie dudes backing him up. Even Guided By Voices, around the time of <i>Mag Earwhig!</i>, morphed into a rotating cast of hired guns. "There is no difference," the indie legend once said. "I am Robert Pollard, and I am Guided By Voices." Boston Spaceships adhere to this arrangement. The group's output to date, a tuneful mixture of power pop and crunchy alt-rock (some of it dating back to the <i>Suitcase</i> years), is classic Pollard and could have easily been issued under his name alone. Also featuring the Decemberists drummer John Moen along with Chris Slusarenko (who played bass in the 2003-04 incarnation of Guided By Voices), Boston Spaceships find our hero eschewing the arty tendencies of his post-G.B.V. solo albums and going for more of a live-in-the-studio rock 'n' roll feel. After the release of the group's debut, 2008's <i>Brown Submarine</i>, Pollard even came out of his self-imposed retirement from touring.Indie Popen720Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:29:10 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.23143188&rws=%2Fboston-spaceships%2Ftop-tracks.rss Since the mid-1990s, Bob Pollard has created too many bands and side projects to count.
