Caveat emptor: though there are cover shots of albums up to and including _ME_ and _Greatest Hits_, the interview was clearly done around the time _Respect_ came out. It's okay, insofar as you can trust an interviewer who describes RH as "short". Maybe he means some other Robyn Hitchcock. You can order it from the publisher at The Silver Web Buzzcity Press Post Office Box 38190 Tallahassee, Florida 32315 for $4.95 + $1.00 postage and handling ($2.00 if you're in Canada or overseas.) You'll need to specify issue #13. There are other things in it too. I should add that I don't make any money off these people, and I'm never likely to either.

I've got a fairly large stash of tapes. I'd like more. Note: If I get enough material, I may decide to make a tape tree out of it. [Apologies to those on digest mode, but here's my request list..] Any of the Hitchcock/Roland, Hitchcock/Knox or Hitchcock/Sensible stuff. Or anything related to Rew's "Bible of Bop".

Way too many of the upper songs were from the then-current playlist, it seems to me a lot of the voters must have no long-term memory. So I'm guessing this pretty accurately reflects Robyn's place in the public consciousness. (In defense of the 9:30 Club, I have to say that the cool thing about the place is that the stage is retractable. If people weren't packed in like sardines for the Robyn/Billy show it would have been a much more pleasant concert-in-the-round sort of deal.) ------------------------------ From: Terry_Linnig@hccompare.com Date: Mon, 25 Nov 96 14:38:22 cst Subject: Re[2]: questions from a virgin feg I ordered "Portland Arms" thru Mrs. Wafflehead for $20.00. She had few available at the time (one year ago) and may have exhausted her supply.

There is an Soft Boys discography inside which opened my eyes to several gems I was unaware of.

Among the rubble, I have "Rout of the Clones", several concerts and interviews recorded from Chicago radio stations and a copy of a copy of "Peter Buck II" comix which Robyn makes a guest appearance in.

A shitload of these were pressed, and they're pretty easy to pick up at any specialist shop, at least in England. The list price is =A310 ($15). And congratulations, Published (But Not Paid) Writer.

Since the date had long since past, I figured the cube offer was void but I filled out the 'name' space anyway, writing "Robyn Hitchcock" for the hell of it. Today I recieved my day timer pages for 1997 along with a free Robyn Hitchcock memo cube. -russ ------------------------------ From: Terry_Linnig@hccompare.com Date: Mon, 25 Nov 96 15:21:06 cst Subject: Re[2]: Recently De-Virginized Fegmaniac Are there any trees currently in season?
