It's a kind of coat/jacket, usually an unpleasant shade of green with an orange quilted lining, occasionally with a hood - completely without style, the favorite garb of people who mend their glasses with elastoplast or cellotape. Hence its alternative use as a derogatory name for extremely boring/geeky train-spotter types.

I got this instead of a 360, 'cause although the 360 sounded better, the 610 played better, for me anyway. You could have the sweetest sounding guitar in the world, but if you can't play it, no amount of sound will save it. I also have a Hohner/Stienburger G3T that I keep tuned to an alternate tuning, and a backup *cough squire cough* Strat that only sees the light of day when the band has a gig. With Other Days, I don't get to play my acoustics that much outside of the studio. I've got an Ibanez six-string that I bought off of an old bass player about four years ago for $100. It sounds suprisingly good, and I do 75% of my writing on it. I've also got a Yamaha 12-string acoustic that I do about 10% of my writing on. The other 15% is done on my Rick. ---Mike ----------------------- "People ask me why I'm obsessed with fish, but it's not true.

Nothing particularly revelatory for subscribers to this list, perhaps, but good to see nonetheless. One amusing comment from Robyn concerning his recent shift away from the more, shall we say, surrealistic imagery and vivid abstractions of days of yore:"My songs now are less inclined to wallow in the slimy organicness of it all." But that's some GREAT wallowing! Just my opinion/preference, and I'd be the last to expect any artist to live up to my expectations. They can only follow their muse, and we but follow or not as we will. That takes care of the information-based content of this posting, now on to some personal comments/queries/considerations for any inclined to come along for the ride. In the little while I've subscribed I've noted a number of folks expressing a preference for either "Element of Light" or "Invisible Hitchcock" as their personal favorite of Robyn's albums. Not to start any sort of contest involving the venting of a bodily fluid over a matter of taste, but I can't see how it can be anything other than the sustained epiphany of "Fegmania", with "Underwater Moonlight" and "BSDR" a hair behind. But, on the other hand, I'm starting to go back to those albums beyond the few songs that I routinely play from them (a blessing and a curse of the CD age,that:program- mability). Another loss for those of us halfway into the digital age (disc but not DAT) is the compilation tape (I made a great one of the pre-God Van Morrison). I've started thinking about what I'd put on it if I used tape these days, or if I hadn't given up trying to enlighten/convert the benighted masses (their motto: "geared to the average, not the exceptional"; no, stop, I abjure cynicism) to Robyn et al. I'd be interested in seeing what others would (or have) put on such a tape, given the restrictions of the form: 45 minutes per side, official releases only.

If anyone is interested in comparing selections send me mail to >avoid clogging up the list (assuming some level of interest). Every year I make a tape called Random Robyn. I have 4 volumes. I basically start with Raw Cuts and end with the last album, and let my CD player pick one track randomly from each album. I include Two Halves and Portland Arms, but since I don't have CDs for these, I generate a track number using another CD with the same amount of songs. I used to do this because I was wont to just play my favorite songs off the CDs and this would be a way to enjoy all of his music. Now I do it because I like how each tape has a different feel to it. I haven't made one since the reissues came out...I'm dying to finish purchasing them all so that I can!!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- John B.

I've heard "Mr Rock N Roll" before somewhere (DaveR-- I LIKE this song!)--is that from the same period as "Birdshead"? DaveR noted that "Dust" was similar to the "Leopard" demo. Actually, several sonmgs on Y&O sound to me like working versions of other tunes that we already know. I can't be specific without the CD handy, but I definitely hear bits & pieces that sound very similar to some of his previously released work. Anyone else notice this? Didn't somebody a while back say that "Polly On The Shore" was an old Fairport Convention tune (sounds like it could be)? The liner notes give Robyn all songwriting credits. I *really* like the demo version of "The Leopard"! Most of the other bonus tracks on these reissues seem like a waste of time to me (I'm talking about the alternate versions of old tunes). I think of all the RH paintings I've seen, I like the one that's on the Y&O cover the best. Don't know why...perhaps because it's not quite as busy as his others. (But then I also like "Dogs Playing Poker" better than "Guernico") Russ rreynolds@ksjo.com [][][][][][][][][][] From: RobertZ919@aol.com Date: Sat, 1 Apr 1995 16:19:36 -0500 To: fegmaniax@ns2.rutgers.edu Subject: Painless Regurgitation of Hyster Greeting all I came across this article searching through AOL's Gopher thingie (still cannot figure that out) Anyhow, I came across this article below, undated and thought I'd post it. (now I gotta sign off and read it!) Enjoy robert.zarzecki@radiowave.com Painless Regurgitation of Hysteria- A Chat with Robyn Hitchcock INTERVIEW BY RICHARD WHITE Like the aboriginal songlines of Australia, Hitchcock's music makes a journey across a deep subconscious Dreamtime creating a familiar, yet aberrant, world. And-like aboriginal song maps-each landmark, each twist of the tale, each layer of exposed psyche is anchored in a character, circumstance or event. He sees himself as a story-teller. Along with fellow Soft Boys Andy Metcalfe and Morris Windsor, he's been telling us his uncategorizable stories since the late 70's. Miscast for the times, The Soft Boys played mostly to deaf ears. Hitchcock's solo projects-Black Snake Diamond Role and Groovy Decay-were largely ignored by a public entranced by technopunk new wave. Adored mostly by critics, Hitchcock dropped out of the music scene, supporting himself by writing for other bands, notably Captain Sensible. In the early 80's, The Soft Boys re-formed and metamorphosed into The Egyptians. The latest Egyptians record, Perspex Island, is Hitchcock's 16th recording. It's his least abstract and most revealing work to date. Though, for many of us, Robyn's songs have always revealed disturbing, dark (and funny) areas of the mind. Hitchcock is-thank gods, ongoingly-a very odd man. -Richard White THE BALLAD OF STRETCH ARMSTRONG M2: I saw you when you played Seattle at the Bumbershoot music festival. You were telling stories that led into the songs. Do you think of your material in a filmic sense-more visually than aurally? RH: I do. I was never that interested in how the thing actually sounded. Records were a blueprint. You'd have to chain in the words. The purpose of the words was to create a cartoon- a flesh cartoon. Life is a series of flesh cartoons with various characters painlessly rupturing themselves like Tom and Jerry. That was my attitude. They were anesthetized folk songs, if you like. All sorts of horrible things happened to people but it didn't really matter. They replaced themselves very quickly like Tom and Jerry. You know, Tom's face cracks completely when he smashes into a wall, he slides down and then it reforms. There is that sort of painless regurgitation of hysteria. M2: Do you feel the same way about this current cycle of songs? RH: No, these songs are much more vulnerable. If one of these songs cracks it would stay broken. M2: What brought about that change in point of view? RH: Well, our cells replace themselves completely every seven years. So apart from a DNA molecule, there's not much of us left. I guess I just replaced myself. REFUGEES FLEE HIPPOCAMPUS M2: You've replaced your ideas. But you wouldn't replace your memories, would you? RH: I'm sure we edit our memories. We only use a little bit of the brain. It's like Australia-we don't really know what the rest of it's doing. There are theories that if you have brain damage, you can actually relocate what you have left from the damaged area to a new area. Start again. I don't know where you put it in the meantime-sort of a holding area. M2: How would you find it? RH: God knows. So, given all this self-replacement, I just felt like singing more vulnerable songs. Some of the old stuff I find a bit cold. M2: Was it a colder period of time for you when you were writing those songs? RH: Maybe I was cold. I was just frightened of everything. I still am. Anyone with any sense is scared shitless. Anyone with any shit is scared senseless. M2: By what? RH: By what they imagine, or other people's lack of imagination. What unimaginative people are doing. The demons are inside and out. You can't win. M2: And imagination is key in relating to your music. RH: Well, for mine you certainly need a degree of imagination. You don't need MTV. You can get your own pictures just from listening to it. If there was any principle behind it, that's what it would be. Like old folk ballads-before radio and TV, people passed news to each other in songs. Although my songs aren't current affairs-like the volcano in the Philippines, or the Lacharbee air crash-they're still transmitting stories. M2: It seems that you have a vision that could be translated into film or theatre. Is that an aspiration? RH: Intellectually yes, but not emotionally. I don't feel driven towards it. I'm driven to write songs. Maybe it's just a habit-like lowering your head to go through a doorway when you could just cut a hole for your head. I've been drawing and painting for years. I suspect it's because I'm a visual person working in song that makes it interesting. There are millions of other artists. I'm cross-pollinating. I'm like a frog mating with a butterfly. SINGIN' IN BAHRAIN M2: The Aboriginal belief is that our ancestors sang the world into existence. RH: Really! M2: Yes, it's like a map. They travel from one point to another by singing songs. Each point on the map is a verse or an element of the song. Does that have any resonance with how you work? RH: It depends on how literally you take it. I'm not necessarily manufacturing a future out of my songs. Sometimes I think my songs are messages from the future to me. A lot of them are messages to me from myself, but they're not as abstractly mystical as singing the world into existence. They are about me closed off by myself, so enclosed that the song is waving a finger at me, saying "Take a look around you, son, and see what's really going on." APRIL IN PERSPEX M2: What about a couple of the songs here on the record. I'm interested in "Birds in Perspex." What is Perspex? RH: Perspex is like plexiglass in this country. "Birds in Perspex" is like a paperweight-those paperweights they sell at seasides with crabs and shells in them. In my case there are birds, a frozen moment waiting to happen. You know they're probably dead, but they are suspended and there is a_ possibility that they could start to live. It's a song about releasing the tension. And Perspex Island is a sort of portable Avalon. M2: A place where animation is suspended? RH: Well, not just that, but a dream-a sort of heaven. A little transparent island that's potential_ floating around. M2: What about "Lysander?" RH: Lysander was a Greek general. But I was really thinking about the Lysander, a little aeroplane in World War II that used to drop French resistance workers in the middle of the night in occupied Europe-a reconnaissance plane. It's a hovering song. It's about somebody not quite committing themselves to a relationship. It's an early autumn song_ You know those decals for model aircraft? When you put them in water, it takes a while before they float away from the paper. I imagined you have a parasol with birds and serpents on it. At some point they actually float off the parasol and start spinning around in the air by themselves-a bit like the birds coming alive in "Birds in Perspex"-all these two-dimensional beings being freed from what holds them. WHAT IS REALITY? M2: "She Doesn't Exist" tells an interesting story. RH: It changes persons. He starts off saying he couldn't care less, but he obviously does-just shows what you get for dwelling in the past. The idea is that there is a presence in your life-but you never see them. Michael Jackson may not exist, you never actually see him, or Winston Churchill. Madonna, God, any of them-people that are of some importance but are not physically there. They may never have existed. Sherlock Holmes didn't exist but he does now. He is now post-dated into his era. It's that gap. There is no physical proof of someone's existence, yet there is a mental residue. If you have a leg amputated, you carry on feeling it. It's like old girlfriends. The impression they've left on you is much more important than where they are now, or how they actually feel. Or whether they are even alive.
