“I dilute my brilliance…”
– Robert Pollard
Robert Pollard is best known as the songwriter and frontman of Guided By Voices. Though he didn’t release an album until the age of 36, today Pollard is about to turn 50, and over 2,000 of his songs have been released on records. His next two albums are twins called Coast to Coast Carpet of Love and Standard Gargoyle Decisions. They represent the two halves of Pollards musical personality: the sharp and melodic versus the heavy and dark.
But two albums wouldnt be prolific enough for Bob Pollard: his Circus Devils side project is going to see an international release for the first time with an album called Sgt. Disco. Pollard will be the first to admit that some people think he’s an asshole, but when I got the opportunity to talk to him on the phone from his home in Dayton, Ohio, it didn’t take long to understand how he manages to attract some of the most devoted fans in music.

Got Problems? Sex, Love and Relationship Advice From SuicideGirls’ Team Agony0
Posted In All Things SG,Blog,Love,Relationships,Sex,Society
by SG’s Team Agony feat. Charley, Fabrizia, and Morgan
Let us answer life’s questions – because great advice is even better when it comes from SuicideGirls.
Q: I met a wonderful woman and love her very much. But, at the time of our meeting and for the first few years of our relationship, I was dealing with feelings of worthlessness, which led to a type of sexual addiction. I realize now because of all the sex addiction reality shows. I basically kept seeking sexual conquests to prove my own self worth. Never really realizing sex didn’t make you valuable to anyone. I wasn’t loyal. And she caught me in video chat mutual masturbation with an ex-girl friend during her pregnancy.
A year ago she decided to end our engagement and take our now 2-year old son, using the sins of my past, 4 years earlier as an excuse. She did this while I was in hospital suffering a Multiple Sclerosis exacerbation and using the last of my savings to keep our apartment. This caused a lot of ill will with my family.
We agreed on joint custody, 3.5 days each, and entered a purely sexual relationship. After nine months of this arrangement and being told over and over again that I should find someone, I did. When she found out she became enraged, and during a drunken night of sex she called the new girl and had her listen to us having sex, ending the new relationship. She claimed that I betrayed her again, although for 9 months she had told me to pursue other women. When I mentioned this, her response was that we were still having sex. Yes, but she was telling me to pursue a real relationship with someone else at the same time.
We continued to have sex on days when our son was with his grandparents, and purchased several sex toys and videos for our entertainment. I am on permanent Social Security Disability, so these purchases where a slight economic burden, but I wanted to maintain some relationship with her. I still really do love her, and I wish I had been able to see my problems before we met. I blame myself for what happened. I want to know if I should still pursue relations with her in hopes that we will reconcile – or if this is a fool’s dream?
Our son is almost 3 now, and I don’t want him to be the silent victim of his messed up parents.

House Passes No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act: Once Again Republicans Target Women’s Rights1
Posted In Activism,Blog,Feminism,Politics
by Damon Martin
Ever since taking over the House of Representatives with the last elections in 2010, the Republican party has been screaming to the proverbial heavens about reducing the national budget by cutting spending and unnecessary programs.
However the GOP seems hell bent on side-stepping issues like cutting the national defense budget or dealing with Social Security, and instead are concentrating on finding new ways to erode and destroy women’s rights – especially when it comes to abortion.
Seeking to advance their social agenda since taking over the House, Republicans have been targeting programs like Planned Parenthood for termination. Their latest such atrocity, is the passing of HR-3, also known as the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” which was passed on May 4 by a vote of 251-175 (all Republicans and 16 Democrats voted for the bill).

“Sometimes being onstage is better than sex.”
– Brian Molko
Brian Molko, the always-engaging frontman of Placebo, has been around the world twice since SuicideGirls last checked in with him. Although Placebo has had a successful decade-long career in the UK and Europe, they’ve never managed a full-on conquest of America. This summer’s Projekt Revolution tour, headlined by Linkin Park, might be the Trojan Horse that finally gets them through the gate. Did Placebo take their new audience by surprise, or was it the other way around? I got a chance to talk to Brian as he was getting ready for one of the last shows of a year and a half of touring.
