    The classic story about the bloke who could. In this tale you are crouched in the middle of an immense hurricane. Houses, animals, trees sweeping past you, and you suddenly realize that you have tampered with the Universe, that you are bringing about the destruction of the World. Lovely British accents in this tale with a message. A delightful little story that is far from the typical Escape style of thriller. Escape with us now to a placid English village in the company of an equally placid little man who one day shook the world as HG Wells told it in his story, The Man Who Could Work Miracles.

    The true story of the fourth-grade teacher in Dayton, Ohio, who created one of the most influential bands of our times.   Devoted fans have followed Guided by Voices for decades—and critics around the world have lauded the band’s brain trust, Robert Pollard, as a once-in-a-generation artist. Pollard has been compared by the New York Times to Mozart, Rossini, and Paul McCartney (in the same sentence) and everyone from P. J. Harvey, Radiohead, R.E.M., the Strokes, and U2 has sung his praises and cited his music as an influence.   But it all started rather prosaically when Pollard, a fourth-grade teacher in his early thirties, began recording songs with drinking buddies in his basement. In this book, James Greer, an acclaimed music writer and former Spin editor—who also played in the band for two years—provides unparalleled insight and complete access to the workings of Pollard’s muse.
