Pollard has been compared by the New York Times to Mozart, Rossini, and Paul McCartney (in the same sentence) and everyone from P. J. Harvey, Radiohead, R.E.M., the Strokes, and U2 has sung his praises and cited his music as an influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut it all started rather prosaically when Pollard, a fourth-grade teacher in his early thirties, began recording songs with drinking buddies in his basement. In this book, James Greer, an acclaimed music writer and former Spin editor--who also played in the band for two years--provides unparalleled insight and complete access to the workings of Pollard's muse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802170132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2005 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2005 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 December 2005\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2005 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"James Greer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604379234485,"sku":"9780802170132","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/guided-by-voices-a-brief-history-twenty-one-years-of-hunting-accidents-in-the-forests-of-rock-and-roll-9780802170132","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
