Chronicling the creative process for Pop Zeus, the forthcoming Guided By Voices/Bob Pollard tribute comic- including sketches, concepts, finished art and whatever else is in my brain at the moment.

Robert Pollard - Love Is Stronger Than Witchcraft Video
Wow, this came out of nowhere. Never knew of this videos existence until a few minutes ago. The clip was apparently shot in the days leading up to the final Guided By Voices show in Chicago on December 31st, 2004 (and is also the source for the Meet The King: Asshole 2 album cover). Bob and his wife Sarah are shown cavorting around his house, driving around town, at a pizza place (Marion's? Hoagie's?), writing up the setlist for the final show and behind the scenes footage shot from the edge of the Metro stage. Great video for a classic tune (off of 2006's From A Compound Eye)...
Before their 1997 appearance at Summerstage in Central Park, Guided By Voices (GbVerde) sat down on the bleachers and spoke to MTV about their history and music...
Didja ever wonder what's in Robert Pollard's room? With this month's Spin magazine (article available on the internets here), wonder no more! From Bob's records, to Bob's collage making materials, to Bob's famous boombox, to Bob's boxers- it's all in there. Check it out!
PS: Please be advised that this video contains scenes of unusual magic and interdimensional travel that may upset some viewers. And don't forget to express your outrage and indignation in the comment box. Thanks for watching!
