I got the Hits CD... and I hate it. I'll never listen to this CD except for the B-sides. A well intentioned, but AWFUL collection. Someone at work said, "I always wanted to get into Robyn, maybe I should buy it." I told him to wait for the Rhino compilation. I have no problem defending the Rhino comp, but this A&M thing is too varied - it's not a very good introduction to the late 80's era. It failed because it tried to take into account the fans who wanted the rareties. It's just too schitzoid to be of any use to a beginner. Anyway, RIEL made some really good points. I forgot about the Cure and Ramones compilations. Let's hope for the best. Keith ......................................................

The basic plotline is already in the booklet for Moss Elixir, and could be augmentated with bits of his short stories (happy the golden prince, the glass hotel, etc) and a selection of evocative songs from that and other albums (here I am thinking particularly of The Black Crow Knows, for some reason). The animation could use RH style artwork, and there are already a number of characters that run throughout his songs: Moose Mark, Jacob Lurch, and so on and so forth. A voice over would be a must. Daniel Saunders Life is heaven and hell. All else is silence. - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Mar 1997 17:09:25 -0600 (CST) From: Truman Peyote Subject: Re: This n that On Sat, 22 Mar 1997, Eb wrote: > >From: Terrence M Marks > > > >Roger Waters Baritone.

Well, as well as listing all the famous musicians one could HEAR!, the ad also listed various comedians, actors, and writers reading their own works that one could HEAR! and this was the category Mr. H fell into. I certainly can't think of another Raymond Hitchcock who would have been famous enough to have his witticisms recorded for posterity onto those oh-so-sturdy 78s :), but perhaps there is another one we are not familiar with.

I guess it's a reaction to how lousy most movies have been lately. There was nothing really soul- scraping this past year aside from "Trainspotting," and "Fargo" (although I insist, as a longtime Cohen fan, that "Miller's Crossing" is their best movie. My fave, anyhow). Can't say that I've seen everything, but the most excited I've been about a film is hoping that Chatauqua Institution will run Branagh's "Hamlet" this summer. While I'm on this thread that has little to do with RH (sorry), I saw "Romeo & Juliet" this weekend, finally. I found it passable. Like the idea of keeping the language for the most part, and I find no fault with the actors or concept (any of you familiar with Shakespeare revisionist Charles Marowitz?), but it was way too loud, garish, and over the top. Now, R&J isn't my favorite (I'm a "King Lear" guy), but I don't recall it everfeeling like this film interpreted it. A little showiness goes a long way, and this movie has too much. Someone mentioned RH as "Hamlet." No doubt!! Or, more obviously, Puck, or Touchstone. I can definately see him doing Shakespeare. I suppose if he ever decides to do a Disney film it can be called "That Darn Vegetarian Cat." I'd pay to see that. Otherwise, some great RH movie ideas out there. He has always seemed to have screen presence-- some kind of presence-- and would love to see him act. How about as the new surgical intern on "ER."

If you follow my logic to the end (and the reason for bringing it up in the first place), the same could be said for Two Halves and Portland Arms. They are currently a couple of the harder (or at least more expensive) Robyn items to find. Whoever suggested putting them both on one disc deserves a cookie! Well, I just spent an unexpected 8 days in the Liverpool and North Wales and went into every record store I saw looking under the "H"'s, of course, and found all the usual stuff and then - WOW - this cd of Groovy Decay! Boy, was I excited! Haven't seen it at all in the US (though I have the original cassette release of Groovy Decoy). It's great!!! I've been listening non-stop since I got off the plane last night!

I was just talking with someone about this last night. How 'braveheart" gets Best Picture and the stunningly brilliant "Richard III" gets......Costume Design? What's wrong with this picture? Hell, of the things that were actually nominated for best picture last year I think "Babe" was by far the best ("Kill The Mechanical Rooster"!:)). Perhaps one of the songs will get nominated. Then we will get to see Robyn doing one of those big frou-frou production numbers. Ta-ra! Love on ya, Susan who bets "Crash" will be the best movie she sees this year and bets further that it won't get nominated for squat ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The End of this Fegmaniax Digest. *sob* .
