I fucking love the more accessible GBV stuff, but have never gotten into a whole album.  Bob Pollard has written some of the best power pop songs ever, though.

Definitely a few of the tracks I've really liked came off that one.

To recap the lessons we can learn from GBV:

01) Never give up. Your dream may be just around the corner.

02) Don’t over-think your next recording session. If the recording captures the song’s essence, don’t worry if Kevin messed up the bassline.

03) Got a song that doesn’t work, but there’s this one 15-second bit that kills? Keep that bit, get rid of the rest, and keep recording!

i love the bit about the recording glitches on "Hardcore UFOs". There something glorious and inspiring about how the guitar just cuts out and finds it's was back a few second later. They just left the fuck-up in.

@ 0:50 and again @ 1:20
