In 2009 alone, Robert Pollard is set to release (full-length studio albums in bold)

January - Robert Pollard - The Crawling Distance
February - Boston Spaceships - The Planets Are Blasted
April - Circus Devils - Gringo
May - Cosmos (Bob and Richard Davies) - Jar Of Jam Ton Of Bricks
and Eat 7
July - Licking Stamps and Drinking ****ty Coffee Live
August - Robert Pollard - Elephant Jokes and Boston Spaceships poster
September - Eat 8 and the Boston Spaceships Sub Pop 7"
October - Boston Spaceships - Zero to 99
November - The Devil Went Home And Puked DVD
December - Suitcase 3 4-CD boxset and Briefcase 3 LP (previously unreleased material)

So, that's SIX full-length albums, a live album, a DVD, his THIRD 4-CD set of unreleased material, two magazines of collages, and a 7" EP. In MY world, two albums a year would be a horrible year!
