Rob Crow, one of the guys behind Pinback, is one serious prolific freak on the scale of a Robert Pollard, and this guy is on some kind of a roll. Almost seems like he could fart and it would be an indie-pop gem at this point. I post this b/c I get the sense that there might be some other Pinback fans around these parts..... but if you have yet to explore some of Crow's solo stuff you're in for a treat. A couple of recent albums that he's had a hand in that flew well below the radar yet are (IMO) some of the best albums of the past year are a solo album and a side project band called "Other Men." Below find a sweet little track from the solo album, and mind you this is the guy playing all instruments and recording it himself at home...... enjoy!

I'm a Pinback fan, though "Autumn of the Seraphs" has to be one of the most pretentious titles for an album ever. "Summer in Abadon" is my joint. I like Rob Crow's project Thingy, and I got his recent solo album, he is pretty damn prolific.
How about Goblin Cock? The Rob Crow drone metal outfit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSA3NXM-VTM&feature=related
that Goblin Cock stuff sorta sounds like "sleep" to me from what Ive heard. personally, I prefer his more poppy stuff.
you should check out that band "Other Men," it's all the guys from Heavy Vegetable.... sounds like a cross between Pinback and Sort of Quartet (w/ Rob Peterson on drums). If you get a moment, peep the song called "uhhhhh" on their myspace:
