Being the subject of a documentary film is nothing new to Guided by Voices; the band was the focus of former-MTV cameraman Banks Tarver's 1998 film, Watch Me Jumpstart. But Bob Pollard and the (ever-changing) boys are now the focus of yet another documentary. On November 20th, Music Video Distributors is set to release Guided by Voices: The Who Went Home and Cried on DVD.

The hour-long DVD features the band rocking out on Pollard's back porch in Dayton, Ohio, the way that only he and GBV can. Among the "back-porch" tracks featured on the film are "Submarine Teams," "Big School," and "Tractor Rape Chain." The DVD will also include bonus footage filmed at the Whiskey in Los Angeles. Live footage includes such GBV classics as "Shocker in Gloomtown," "Motor Away," "Liar's Tale," and, of course, "Hot Freaks."

In other Bob Pollard news, the 15th release in the ongoing Fading Captain series has been finished. Circus Devils, a collaboration between Bob and brothers Tim and Todd Tobias, is set to unleash Ringworm Interiors. It's said to be "unlike anything that Bob has ever done but in other ways combines all the off beat musical influences that Bob has." Um, Bob's not a big Skynyrd fan, right?
