I really like Robyn and his music, blah, blah, blah... I was wondering if anyone has a recording from Robyn and the Egyptians from February, 1992 (I believe it was the 15th) at Oberlin College in Ohio? I was there, and the idea of Robyn performing inside of an old church was magnificent. I have been yearning for a souvenir and was hoping someone could help me out.

Robyn's shows during the past year have been excellent, but his 5 night run at the Knitting Factory have been really stellar so far. Lots of old songs, and the new ones done right. '1974' for instance played much better in tonite's set than it did during the movie filming or at the Beacon. For better or worse, the shows have not been packed and there's plenty of floor-seating up front, however that may change on the weekend. Anyway, for those keeping score, here's this evening's set list. Enjoy...

But on a Robyn note, I checked out the Knitting Factory's internet broadcast -- of course the sound was somewhere to the worse of a poorly-received a.m. station, and the picture choppy, but it was still interesting to be able to snoop on the show. I don't know how much an ISDN feed would have improved the sound/picture; since I wasn't expecting crystal-clear sound, I wasn't too disappointed. The music (more to process?) didn't come across as quickly or as clearly as the reading at the end of the show. Cale fans should take note of his upcoming stand there (March 25-27, I think). later, Miles, the Cale neophyte np: SEDUCING DOWN THE DOOR ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Mar 1997 22:06:32 -0800 (PST) From: "Infinity's Ragged Shore" Subject: For those who are cone-free... if indeed you are cone-free, as is the case in my mid-land outpost, you must visit... http://www.spacecoast.net/users/mrrunion/cone34.htm the runion cone is animated in such a manner that it is as if you were holding it in your hand. an amazing feat that only a high consumption society could bring to an otherwise limited media (the computer not the cone). in fact, i declare the cone the media of the next century. finally, the art on the cone is far better than i would have thought--not just a quick splash of the felt pen, but a concerted effort to create something. .chris ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 00:16:25 -0600 From: LSDiamond Subject: Underwater Moonlight cover The Fish cover... does anyone have a scanned image of it?

This time it was Ginny from the Dear janes and her roadie/companion (?) who stopped by the deli before the show. She was funny, striking up a lengthy conversation with the sandwich guy. Seems to treat NY as a novelty, which is kind of nice (not jaded). There was a weird and not entirely wonderful band with an upcoming release on the knitting factory label that opened. If you heard them and liked them, try a thousand other names by G E Stinson on the birdcage label; the same, only better. The Janes played together quite nicely and are actually beginning to grow on me just a bit. Repetition has its virtues. Our hero emerged at a little after 10. Preceded (as last night)y this short humorous recording from god knows where, sounding like it came from 1962, about an ant, a fly, and a man all named Smith, then a second bit about a flat square who grew into a cube and got in good with miss cone who dumped him for a point. I'll bet he found this in the same shop as the lamp and the vase. The music is almost a blur now (as is everything else!) but for me the highlights were revisitations from the groovy/gravy era: 52 stations was stellar and America was compelling as well. Definitely less talking than previous nights. Also great "trains" tracks, heartful of leaves (oh those instrumentals!), and autumn is your last chance, for which I had to close my eyes so as not to be distracted by vision it was so gorgeous to listen to. New songs abounded: Don't talk to me about Gene Hackman, Dark Princess (the closer, maybe not new but the first time I'd heard it- and dedicated to the princess herself who was somewhere near the soundboard I reckon, by his warm look), some song I could not discern the title for, "taught" to him by Joan Bayez. Did I mention that the other night, he played Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom? Anyway, last night he also jammed on some element of light songs: the president, bass (which he claimed to have started and finished writing on a train)... one humorous moment was when the crowd tried to get him to tell us what he was drinking. He always has a glass of water and then Igor brings out something hot and brown with slight foaminess on the surface, in a clear glass. Looks like some kind of coffee contraption to me, or nut-brown ale heated to a slow boil. Anyway Robyn used the moment to give a great monologue about liquids and solids, and how Phil Collins, playing the garden uptown, was singing Susudio (or whatever that song is) with soup or borscht in his mouth. Later he said that Phil's merchandising cones were probably rubber-stamped. Oh yeah, at the beginning of the show there was some guy who came out and said that noone was supposed to tape shows without the artists' permission. Some folks actually laughed at this, and the Janes backstage seemed to be taunting the poor guy for having to make the announcement. I didn't actually see anyone taping last night, but I was on the floor again (literlly- ouch!) and most of those folks were in the balcony- so you never know. No fruit on the merchandising table, though he did personally introduce a lime to the crowd. Therre's probably more that will come back to me later- work is calling!

Greetings, everybody. My name is Greg Harris & I'm from Miami. I just joined the fegmaniax subscription list the other day so this is going to be my first posting. All this talk about Robyn using a piano in his live show makes me nostalgic for the one & only time I've seen him live. 'Twas up in Jacksonville at the Einstein-a-Go-Go's way back in 1990 and was in support of "Eye". And, yes, Ethyl, there was a piano so be assured you weren't on some kind of drug trip. He did poke fun of Elton John and David Bowie, the latter having been in Jacksonville the night after on his Sound & Vision tour. (Yes, I did see the Bowie show as well.) As for the "Moss Elixir" survey, I am shamefaced to admit that while the album did make my top 10 album of 1996 (it came in at number 10), I have not listened to the album as religiously as I should have. But this digest has made me see the errors of my ways. Anyway, that's about all for now. Anyone who gets this digest should feel free to e-mail with me.

I think "Alright Yeah" was released as a single, at least when ME first came out it was getting some airplay on A3 stations (radio talk- it translates roughly to "not 'alternative rock' but too hip for Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond" stations). I've also heard "Beautiful Queen" being played on WXRT FM here, but WXRT is an odd station in the sense that the DJs there still have a lot of freedom and often choose to play cuts that aren't necessarily singles. This reminds me, Chicago fegs who are also collectors should cruise over to "Quaker Goes Deaf Records" on North Avenue (just a couple blocks from the Damen el stop). I was there a couple days ago and they had the singles of "Balloon Man" and "The Man Who Invented Himself", as well as a prominently displayed copy of the "Wading Through A Ventilator" EP (the one with the green cover where some fellow with an icky beard is wearing an apparently homemade "give it to the soft boys" t-shirt- is that Wangbo? :)). It's still there as I couldn't quite bring myself to spend 14 bucks on it, but you might be able to :). As far as sales performance goes- I seem to remember that "You and Oblivion" was by far the best-selling as far as the Rhinos go. I have no idea which album sold the most overall, but my guess would be "Perspex" or "Queen Elvis" (remember "Perspex" was the best-selling album on the college charts for awhile until it was knocked off by Nirvana's "Nevermind"). As far as the thread about favorite ME songs: Favorite ME songs: "Happy Bird", "You and Oblivion", "Speed of Things", (and the ML "Beautiful Queen") Love on ya, Susan a silver fox looking for romance in my chain-smoking kansas flashdance-ass pants :) :) P.S. Any Chicagoans thinking about going to see Too Much Joy next Saturday at the Empty Bottle? Let me know if you want to get together. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 17:11:47 -0600 From: Cone #12 Subject: scrambled eggs and the collective spleen [finally got around to scanning in this article that appeared in conjuction with Robyn's Nashville appearance. Enjoy. Oh, it's used without permission, so best not spread it around too much... gvp] During the early stages of composing The Beatles' classic Yesterday, before he came up with the words, Paul McCartney would sing "scrambled egg," in place of the still-unwritten lyric. Only later, after fine-tuning his immortal melody, did McCartney supply the reflective, three-syllable title, and the song became one of the best-selling singles of all time. If he had written the song, says British pop singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock, the original lyric would have stayed and "the song would have never been heard from again outside the college circuit." Beginning with his days with the Soft Boys, from 1976 to 1981, through his years as frontman for Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians and now as a solo artist, Hitchcock has taken the musical road less traveled, filling his songs with fanciful, dream-inspired lyrics while simultaneously anchoring them with accessible melodies inspired by The Beatles and The Byrds. A favorite in the U.S., where his live performances have converted fans in droves, Hitchcock begins a short US tour with a solo set Saturday night at the Bluebird Cafe, 4104 Hillsboro Road, part of the Nashville Entertainment Association's citywide music showcase, Extravaganza '97. He'll do tunes from last summer's Moss Elixir, and he'll reach back for favorites from throughout the balance of his career, beginning around 1979, the year A Can of Bees, the Soft Boys' first full-length album came out. Quirky song titles from his catalog hint at Hitchcock's highly intelligent though warped whimsy, a quality that makes him a literate hero to some, a daunting enigma to others. A guy who can write songs like Eaten By Her Own Dinner, The Man with the Light Bulb Head, A Globe of Frogs and One Long Pair of Eyes sees things a little differently. On Moss Elixir he continues to stretch, lyrically, on songs like De Chirico Street: "I was followed home by a weighing machine on De Chirico Street/It said, 'What do you know?'/I said, 'What do you mean?'/On De Chirico Street." The CD booklet includes a long narrative, Moss Elixir, in tiny type (he hopes to have a book of stories published soon). Hitchcock says the yarn's images of fantasy bus rides, out-of-body experiences and visions from beyond the grave are not necessarily supposed to add up to conventional narrative. "You're not really meant to struggle with these things," he says reassuringly from his home in London. "Sometimes people think my work is some kind of brain teaser. I think maybe they get put off --you've got to be smart to listen to him because you've got to work out what he's on about. "It's not so. My stuff is no more complicated or simple than a dream is. It just takes place the same as dreams do. It can be fun trying to figure out what a dream is, or it might be fun turning my song upside down and pulling the hook out of its mouth and bashing it over the head with a hammer and trying to fondle its gills or whatever, trying to get inside it. That's not really what it's for." That said, Hitchcock admits that his lyrics wander a little further out on the artistic horizon than those of his colleagues. Listening to a Hitchcock tune can set the foot a-tapping, but lock on the lyrics and it's, "Hey, wait a minute. What's he saying?" "I know I don't add up, because my words are unfettered but my melodies are terribly conventional," he contends. "My tunes are all two steps away from The Beatles. It's the same rules: choruses and middle eighths and minor sixths and all the rest of it. "I find as I get older, my music keeps coming back to the rules that The Beatles laid down. Actually, they didn't mean them to be rules. It's more the music that The Beatles evolved. I've never really gone very far away from that. I'm not musically an innovator at all." If that's true--and I'm not sure it --Hitchcock's music nevertheless has humor and depth that rewards repeated listenings. As the melodies become familiar, they insinuate themselves into your consciousness. Some, such as So You Think You're In Love from 1991 and Alright Yeah, an earlier song that appears again on Moss Elixir, connect on first spin. "Words don't matter," Hitchcock firmly believes. "The only thing is, probably as I've gotten older, I've gotten less interested in words and therefore, I'm not so concerned that my words are vivid, whereas I once was. That probably makes my stuff a bit more digestible to the mass colon, the collective spleen or whatever it is." Hitchcock's work with the Soft Boys has been gathered into an anthology and reissued as individual albums by Rykodisc, while Rhino has released a number of his solo albums. Late last year A&M issued a 20-track collection from his stint with that label from 1988-1993, and Rhino has commissioned Hitchcock himself to assemble and annotate a comprehensive collection to be titled Uncorrected Personality Traits and released before his next project for Warner Bros. In December film director Jonathan Demme shot Hitchcock in a club setting for a feature movie to be released in the fall. Demme's Stop Making Sense helped bring the Talking Heads wider exposure in 1984. Hitchcock's next Warner Bros. album will come from the new film's soundtrack but will also include songs not in the film. "One working title is Goodnight Oslo and another is Storefront Hitchcock," says the singer of the upcoming flick. "I'd quite like to call it Bad Hair Life. There are some amazing shots ... some stuff where I'm playing really well, but it looks like my hair is on sideways. I don't know what we did. I'd just been in with the makeup people, but I look unwholesome. I took my hair outside and shot it." Meanwhile, Hitchcock continues to write songs at a pace that others seldom match. Just as the new soundtrack will have songs not in the film when it comes out, Moss Elixir was preceded by an alternate album, Mossy Liquor, pressed in a limited run of 2,500 vinyl-only copies, that features different cuts and alternate versions of his most recent effort. "Maybe I write too many of them," he admits half-heartedly. "Maybe I should spend more time working on the ones I write rather that starting off other ones, but to me, the real joy is going out there and getting new songs. "It's like playing Scrabble. You reach into the bag, you don't know what letters you're going to pull out. Or, if you're playing cards you don't know what hand you're going to be dealt. It's all unknown. There's something there and you're reaching for it. It's always exciting to see what it's going to be." And to hear it.
