I will add that he intro'd Egyptian Cream with a bit of Newt bashing ( I love it when UK citizens involve themselves in the American political arena) and My Wife... was preceded by a rambling bit about two Frank Sinatras. The man who receives a fax from the Devil, I believe, has been recounted here before; RH reprised that by way of opening Man With A Woman's Shadow. from today's Chicago Sun Times: BELLY, HITCHCOCK ON TEPID SIDE (Belly review excised) At Hitchcock's show Saturday, the pace was thrown off from the beginning when West Virginia's Deni Bonet opened with a boring set of bad folk-rock. (Ed. note: my wife liked her and she played very well with RH) Jill Sobule livened things up as she sampled tunes from her strong debut, including the hit in the making, "I Kissed A Girl." Her set was half as long as Bonet's and about 10 times better. Unfortunately, Hitchcock started slow and never regained momentum. (Ed. note: "So you think you're in love just came on the radio as I was typing this! Reviewer is an idiot as Sobule's debut was released in 1990.) A longtime college-rock favorite the English singer-songwriter is touring to promote Rhino's reissues of his 80s solo albums, which helped pave the way for the alternative rock explosion. But rather perversely, his set leaned heavily on new material and tunes from his 90s albums for A&M. Hitchcock opened with "Surgery," an introspective rarity included on the collection "You & Oblivion," but it was the night's most adventurous choice. Tunes such as "Chinese Bones" and "My Wife and My Dead Wife" have been staples of performances with backing band the Egyptians. At previous solo shows, Hitchcock alternative between acoustic guitar and grand piano. This time he stuck to guitar and harmonica (with a little help on violin from Bonet), and the set suffered from the lack of variety. (Ed. Note: anyone looking at the set list will know that last statement is totally false; and I could sit and listen to RH play guitar all night!

Those > with divergent opinions can write the Sun Times reviewer, Jim DeRogotis at > JimDeRo@aol.com). For what it's worth, Jim DeRogatis used live here in Minneapolis, and he wrote periodically for the weekly "alternative" papers, and I usually disagreed with him on most points musical and otherwise. He also was an editor for "Request" magazine, which is the Musicland Group's own publication, and it's designed to get you to buy, buy, buy at anything but their low prices. DeRogatis seemed lame to me in that pseudo-journalistic mag, too. I'm very much opposed to fanatic trouncing on e-mail lists of writers who print bad reviews of the artist. Some mailing lists are amazingly unable to have a great deal critical distance; the Prince/O+> list and the Elvis Costello list come to mind first. This Hitchcock review simply adds to my opinion of the guy, and makes me glad he's in Chicago now, and not Minneapolis. One indulgent rant, though: "rather perversely" is how he described RH playing new songs and A&M material. "Perversely"? I sense journalistic hyperbole here. The act of playing a setlist of material other than the re-issues he's touring behind is not "perverse". Criticizing Rhino, burning a pile of re-issues on-stage, or telling people to not buy them could be called "perverse", maybe. Anyway, I'm done whining, and am looking forward to tonight's show, Chuck [][][][][][][][][][] From: mad5c@server.cs.virginia.edu Subject: Trash To: Hitchcock Fan-List Date: Tue, 18 Apr 1995 09:53:43 -0400 (EDT) How does one get to be a 'rock journalist', anyway?

In the newspaper biz, it pretty much takes the death of the person who currently holds the position for there to be an features/music 'critic' opening. One (of many) problems in the music/book/movie review arena is that many reviewers are unaccountable loose cannons with no knowledge about what they're reviewing and have cosmically unhip and out of touch editors. And given the purported make-or-break nature of their jobs, it doesn't take long before many a 'rock journalist' or reviewer develops a the "Power of God" persona. As a journalist I will be the first to tell you that everything should be read with a jaundiced eye as (despite many journalists' protestations to the contrary) as EVERYONE brings their own baggage into anything they write, and by the time an assortment of editors, headline writers, typesetters, graphic artists, etc, all put their spin on things, often times the end result is a mere shadow of what the "real" story is.

Yanco) Subject: Ann Arbor shows To: fegmaniax@ns2.rutgers.edu (Hitchcock mailing list) Date: Tue, 18 Apr 1995 13:03:02 -0400 (EDT) This is a general announcement to the rather large number of people who have requested copies of the Ann Arbor shows (I responded to the first few messages, then became overwhelmed with the prospect of responding to everyone). I have finals this week and next, so the taping will have to wait until after that. Here's the thing: because of how the tapes were made, if I flipped the tape 42 minutes into the set, there are 3 minutes of blank space at the beginning of the other side. Also, the second RH set is over two tapes, with JS on the opposite side of each (a gold star to anyone who went to the show and can figure out why, with the exception of Jay). The point here being that first-generation copies are a bit of a pain to make. So, my plan is as follows: If you have something that I want, I will make you a first generation copy for it. Moreover, your tapes will come first. Thus, the head of the queue will have woj, John Jones, Bayard, and Stephe Foskett if he's still interested, not to mention others that I am certainly forgetting. If you do not have something that I want, I will make you a copy of a first-generation copy -- which saves me all of the tape flipping. In this case, you'll only have to send the requisite number of 90- minute tapes and adequate return postage, though contributions to the Buy Rick A Pizza Fund would not be refused. (If someone wants to organize a tape tree for those in the latter category, whoever is root of the tree will get the first first- generation copy, not to mention profuse thanks from me.) In any case, I'll get back to all of you as time permits.
