Jan 30, 2003 - The more time you spend with Motel of Fools, the more all of these feelings of incompleteness begin to make sense.
Motel of Fools is an album by Robert Pollard, released in 2003.
Concept
In a MAGNET interview Pollard stated the album's concept dates back to the Alien Lanes song 'Ex-Supermodel' in which he states 'I write music for soundtracks now.' Motel of Fools is intended to 'appear to be a soundtrack' As Pollard stated 'since no one contacts me to do soundtracks, I thought I’d do one on my own.' Since making this statement Steven Soderbergh tapped Pollard to do songs for his movies Full Frontal and Bubble.
Pollard had a plot in mind but 'didn't have enough songs' to fully flesh it out. Pollard took the 'soundtrack' concept as far as making posters for the movie he had in his mind. Listening to the album is supposed to bring the listener into a motel filled with 'all of these strange characters and fuck-ups.'[1]
