Well, I guess you can have one small cookie...RH said not so much that it was the "beginning of the end," but more like the END of the end. As I said a week or so ago, he claimed that all the rosy cultural/philosophical achievements of the '60s took awhile to dissipate, and that they finally vanished altogether by 1974. Thus, 1974 basically sucked. :) BTW, nice to see some newcomers speaking up.... Eb PS Yes, once and for all, "Withered & Died" IS a Richard Thompson song!

Welcome to the list! It's nice to find someone else who remembers "the olden days". I may be wrong, but it seems that the majority of folk round here came to know Robyn later in his career. My story is similar to yours. I followed the birth and demise of the SBs from the late 70's on, and then kind of lost touch for a while. I've been catching up for a couple of years now, and I have to say that the Fegmaniax list has been an entertaining and sociable way to accomplish that task.

I believe that the Goo Goo Dolls also covered our boy Robyn's tune on some obscure Iceland-only CD single or something bizarre like that. Disclaimer: I only know this because I live in Buffalo and the Goos are unfortunately treated like gods around these backwaters. I do not approve of their cover of RH, I'm just the improbable messenger. Sorry, just a little bitter once again. On a lighter note: I've developed kind of a goofy theory about what will happen to the genre known as "alternative" music when the powers that be become generous enough to let Bush rot where they belong and I'm beginning to think that college radio may once again (like in those heady halcyon days of the mid-80s) hold the key to the future of new music. Is this just a crackpot theory or do you think this could be probable, since I firmly believe that commercial alternative radio (even perennial stalwarts like KROQ and CFNY) will find it's way to the grave by the end of 1998.

This has been said of McCartney: "The eighties were definitely NOT kind to Pauly" Shouldn't this be the other way around? Around this time of year I'm always reminded also of "Wonderful Christmas Time", which was emphatically NOT. But you can't really blame the guy-- he was dead by then, after all. Then there's THIS: "chinese bones-- Suzanne Vega with the Dead at madison square garden '88" I find almost every single aspect of this nearly impossible to believe!!! Anyone want to provide further details? It seems hard to believe such a thing could happen, but oddly enough I can already hear EXACTLY what it sounds like, and I kind of enjoy it. Does that make me a bad person? "superman-- sonic youth (introduced as "some naive pop song")" Pretty odd, too. At a guess, this is a bootleg artifact, not an official release. Didn't Syd Straw also do "Arms of Love"? Also, a band called Buglamp did "Destroy You", but they were essentially the same band as the Circle Jerks (same singer), so who cares? Robyn covers are few and far between, it seems-- I'm surprised to see not a single "Queen of Eyes" on the list! Finally, there's this: "I've never considered Robin or Robyn a "girl's name"; I think its use by women is a recent phenomenon & confined mainly to 'Merka. Incidentally, I always assumed it was spelt with a Y because there's a Y in Syd (Barrett, that is). A friend of mine was convinced RH was a reincarnation of Barrett (yes, I know he's still alive, bear with me), but partly on the grounds of Kimberley Rew's guitar-playing. Which was played by Kimberley Rew. And not Robyn." ... which brings home the point that the girl-name-iness of "Robyn" PALES compared to that of "Kimberly".

It was a rainforest benefit show 9.24.88. "Chinese Bones" was the first song. I love the marriage of Dead and Robyn music, and Vega's sing-speak style sounds great over the Dead's lush, spacey jamming of the melody. It seems that the song must have been Vega's choice since the Dead never performed it again. A cool pic of Robyn with Bob Weir and Garcia exists. I saw it reproduced in the _Golden Prince_ fanzine from SpiFFing Books. http://remus.rutgers.edu/~woj/spiffing/index.html hal ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Dec 1996 06:29:55 -0500 (EST) From: Roseann Cappella Subject: Re:covers (again) I agree about college radio.

I played a couple of songs for an xmas party for the company that gives me paychecks on Friday night. I only did my own material for it. I felt like I did okay with my performance. I cleared my guitar and electronic gadgetry off the stage immediately afterward for fear that the macarena presentation could cause physical damage beyond the expected neuological violence. As the rest of the company talent presented lacked much polish, I guess I stood out. After the presentations were over, one really nice guy came over to me and asked me if I've ever heard of Robyn Hitchcock, and said that my songs seemed a bit like his brilliance. I don't believe in copying others directly, but I have always wanted people to hear RH in what I do. Everybody gets the Lou Reed, Devo, B-52's, Stan Ridgway, King Crimson, Talking heads, etc. influences, but this is the first time anybody grabbed the RH one. I have considered that I was coming from those other influences and moving toward a more poetic and personal type of music. That's still how I intend to progress in that direction, but as those on this list may imagine this feels really cool.

Anyone ever heard of Robyn performing any Christmas songs live? 2. XTC Xperts: I picked up a CD called "Just Say Noel" which includes an XTC Xmas tune ("Thanks for Christmas" I think it's called). I recall playing an XTC single (under the pseudonym The Thee Wise Men) when I was in college radio. This particular tune is creditred to XTC, but production credits go to "The Three Wise Men", and author credits--though the song sounds very obviously XTC authored--are given to three people who's names rang no bells. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether this is that mid-'80s single or a NEW offering (which would be big news, I'd think), and can anyone verify whether or not the three songwriters listed are actually partridge/moulding/the- other-guy using different names? The CD is on Geffen, which may or may not have been XTC's label at the time of the 80's single. It's been so long since XTC recorded anything new I don't know if they're still with Geffen...I would think not. -russ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The End of this Fegmaniax Digest. *sob* .
