How many records does Robert Pollard put out every year? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.

Just last week we told you about the Takeovers album featuring Stephen Malkmus et al, and a quick glance to your left on the main page all day Wednesday got you a glimpse of Jason Crock's review of Bobby's Silverfish Trivia EP. Shucks, it was just a month ago we wrote up something on a collection of the Fading Captain's best deep cuts. And isn't there a Circus Devils album in there at some point?

The man writes songs faster than most people drink beverages, and he owes us at least a beer or three for still paying attention. But he made Bee Thousand, dude... Bee Thousand.

So, here we go again. On October 9, Merge will simultaneously release two albums from our boy Bob. One, Standard Gargoyle Decisions, is being described as "down and dirty rock," while the other, Coast to Coast Carpet of Love, as "super-catchy pop."

In celebration of his newfound triumph over writer's block, in June he'll also kick off a year-long singles club through his website, backing a track from the new records with a non-album cut every month.
