We're joined by songwriter, producer, and legendary indie rock guitar slinger, Doug Gillard, known most widely as the longtime guitarist for Robert Pollard's Guided by Voices. Crucial matters discussed include: growing up in Ohio and why that state has produced so many incredible rock bands; the bizarre ritual of the audiences in Florida showering Guided by Voices with beer at shows; Doug's sidework with Nada Surf, Neko Case, The Hold Steady, and Oranges Band, among others; the astonishing productivity of Guided by Voices and their amazing new record, Earth Man Blues; working with Ric Okasek from The Cars on GBV's Do the Collapse and Rob Schnapf on Isolation Drills; and so much more.
