I only have Vampire on Titus, Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, and Isolation
Drills, so I'm not sure exactly which obscure tunes they played, but I know
they played at least 4 songs Robert said won't be out on disk until
July...and they were very cool. At least one was written with Tobin Sprout.

"After all these years, me and Tobin are still kickin' 'em out," Robert
Pollard said after one of the new tunes.

I like Isolation Drills on its own merits, separate from the other GBV
albums I have. The band has a lot of punch in the production and most of the
tunes are well-crafted (and full of hooks--Glad Girls even getting a little
overblown in that category....)
