I just borrowed a book called, *The 50 Worst Records of all Time,* by Jimmy Guterman and Owen O'Donnell, in which our man gets mentioned a couple of times. The first reference to RH (oops! sorry Eddie) is in the 33 1/3 rules of Rock and Roll: #25. "Cult artists are frequently just as boring and predictable as mainstream ones. This is also called the Robyn Hitchcock rule. Then the authors skewer him and his audience again in a chapter devoted to Van Dyke Parks' *Song Cycle* (the number twenty-three worst album of all time, for those keeping track): "*Song Cycle* is a record conceived for a cult audience. Like religious cults, rock cults are all about idolizing a fundamentally flawed performer and applauding his every wrong move: when Robyn Hitchcock called one of his records *Queen Elvis,* the only people who didn't get the joke were him and his audience. Cult audiences value cleverness over direct expression and the abstract over clarity. " I hate these guys. They're ugly and their mamas dress them funny. They also clearly don't know a truly awful song when they hear one since they failed to put Diana Ross' "Do You Know?" on their list. And how do they get by calling Robyn Hitchcock's audience a "cult" anyway? Just because we know that liking Robyn is the Last Chance to Advance Beyond Human, doesn't make us a cult.

Like religious > cults, rock cults are all about idolizing a fundamentally flawed performer > and applauding his every wrong move: This depends entirely on, firstly, what one thinks a cult is. I'm inclined to think a cult is a religion in embryo- time and widespread insitutional frameworks seem to be the main distinguishing factors. Eh, don't take this as a knock on religion. More like reminding those who are inclined to draw sharp lines in the sand that most of today's "legit" religions were considered cults at one time, so really, who are WE to judge? Idolizing the fundamentally flawed? Go back in time and tell the early Christians that Jesus was fundamentally flawed and that they worshipped him for it! What I'm trying to get at here (yes, I do have a point :)) has something to do with why I think this is a bad parallel to draw, because I would argue that their entire premise is flawed. People don't espouse a religion and then worship the deity's flaws- the deity is usually supposed to be PERFECT, ABOVE the follower, something they aspire to be. Whereas people who identify deeply with a performer to the point of being considered "cultish" usually do just that: -identify-. Their humanity is what brings about the strange intimacy between audience and performer. Now this might be perceived as fetishizing mistakes, perhaps, but worshipping someone for them, no. There's a difference. > his audience. Cult audiences value cleverness over direct expression and > the abstract over clarity. " I've heard this before. I'm inclined to think these people don't read much poetry and are also the sort of people who prefer Andrew Wyeth to, say, Max Ernst. This might be a matter of very different worldviews: I perceive the world around me as being pretty surreal and better captured in that language than in the poetic and artistic language of so-called realists. I'm guessing these guys would think that's bunk. Fine.

Just to say, I LOVE DANNY ELFMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a dear friend from Canada sent me "Odelay" for my birthday (i'm 18 tomorrow!!! ;) and some BMG promo tapes. I've been enjoying those. I got a Morrissey album at the used CD store the other day, and $10 more to pay on my Smashing Pumpkins box set, "The Aeroplane Flies high". I'm well supplied with music right now. :) I love being the way I am with music--I can listen to so many different kinds of music, and never get bored with any of them. :) I think it started when my parents gave me a shoebox tape recorder when i was about 4. I've been an audiophile ever since! :) here's a question.. anyone know anything about the music for the Nissan ads? i know the first one with that groovy Asian guy just standing in the field & by the road with the signs had a really Elfman feel to it, and i loved the one with the kids & the baseball, too... But where did they get the music for those 2 ads??? Who here thinks that all commercials should be beer ads!??!?!?!? No, seriously, besides the Nissan ads, who does the best??? Miller and Fosters!!!

How about if Tim Burton did an animated Robyn movie, in the same style as "James & The Giant Peach" and "Nightmare Before Christmas"????? wouldnt' THAT just be a trip?

On this count, I would give very high ranking to Verve's compilation of Antonio Carlos Jobim covers called "The Girl From Ipanema". Every aspect of it fits into the overall design, something few CD covers do. When you open the jewel case, the back of the CD booklet, the inside behind the CD, and the CD itself form one horizontal composition. It's very nice looking. I remember thinking when I got it that it was one of the first CDs that actually took advantage of the jewel case format, rather than just accepting it as a liability. That said, I'm often pissed off by how shoddy CD packing is, although things have improved over the last couple of years. CBS/Sony/whatever was one of the worse offenders. They destroyed the cover to Blonde on Blonde (not to mention cutting off "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands early!!!). And their jazz reissues always looked awful. They've gotten a lot better over the past couple of years though (note the nice job they did with the recent Byrds reissues).

I also like Respect and Eye a lot. The cover to the Rhino Eye reissue > looks pretty cheap compared to the Twin Tone original. Besides the occasional oddities, like Element of Light and Trains, RH covers can be divided into two camps: paintings by the Man himself (GoF, Respect, You&oblivion, etc.), and murky strangely processed photographs (Fegmania, Queen Elvis, Groovy Decoy). The former are a far better match for the music, in my opinion, and more interesting to look at. Daniel Saunders Life is heaven and hell.

Good point. But was it really Re-Search that started it? I mean, I haven't seen a big fad for any of the records in their "Industrial Culture" book. > also, the fifty worst rock albums have been heard by so few and are so > bad that no amount of tracking them down and listings would find them > at the surface. This is also true, and I hadn't thought of it. Of course most of these would be difficult to find outside of Salvation Armys and such. And you'd really have to know what you're looking for.

If it's the book I'm thinking of, it's not so much the "50 worst records," but the "50 worst records by very popular artists who released other records that are really great." I mean, I think Elvis Costello's Goodbye Cruel World is listed. OK, maybe it's Costello's worst album. Maybe it's a mediocre record by any standard. But one of the worst of ALL TIME? Come on!

I think the grainy, black and white cover photo is great, showing Robyn looking appropriately mysterious, dark and cool. The atmosphere the cover present complements the music, especially stuff like The Lizard and Do Policemen Sing? Showing him contemplating a pear (as I'm sure we all do from time to time !? ) is a nice touch too. My favourite covers of all time are on the Hoodoo Gurus _Magnum Cum Louder_ and The TV Personalities _Yes Darling, But is it Art?_. Magnum Cum Louder has one of those covers which is so psychedelic that just looking at it is enough to make you hallucinate. Yes Darling, But is it Art? features a young girl with red paint all over her hands and clothes (and on the backdrop) which is both colourful and cute while also being strangely eerie at the same time.
