Doug Gillard (Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, Solo, Cobra Verde, Death of Samantha)

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.
