OK, I'll bite: I bought The Letters of Wanda Tinasky last year from Amazon, and have been wondering ever since if he was a-writin' to them during his stint in NoCal. Whaddaya think? and any interesting links to pynchon sites is cool. And is he really JD SAlinger's love child? any truth to the rumors he once slept with Farina? etc etc. by the way, I'm glad to see Joyce wrote FW the same I read it, piecemeal. Except, I used to jest keep it by the TV, and enjoy a randomly opened page until the commercials are over. My reading curtailed when I got a remote control. Speaking of changing channels, I just met the illustrious Jeme over the weekend, actually had him to my garden abode, and he seemed quite nice, though I'm not wearing any of his underwear. He had to go spend a night at Viv's parents' house (separate bedrooms!), so he may have been uncharacteristically trepidacious, but his vest was resplendent. We'll hear once they get to Oregone (a Reichian slip?) if they hooked up a good enough sound system to blast the mixed tape I made them loud enough to hear Viv's car Brenda falling from the oddly jury-rigged tow system off some high cliff in the Rockies.

If they're not talking about "Kate Winslet's supposed chubbiness," then they're talking about Calista Flockhart's supposed anorexia.

"On the Outer Fringe"-Robyn Hitchcock finds his place in ROCK HISTORY written by David L. Coddon Robyn Hitchcock---now more than ever. Even when he cuts an album that's less than stellar -and his latest, "Jewels for Sophia" is less than stellar-the stubbornly iconoclastic Hitchcock strikes a blow for aural unpredictability and damn-the-critics lyrical disorder. In the summer when Motley Crue's on tour again and kids are worshipping at the altar of the Backstreet Boys, the West Londoner who penned "The Man With the Lightbulb Head" and "Take Your Knife Out of My Back" is making music for the chosen few: those tuned into the Hitchcock Zeitgeist, or those who'd merely like to be. As Whatever's left of alternative-rock radio panders more and more to 14 year old boys in XL T-shirts, Hitchcocks's supremely quirky songs- past and present- are finding themselves homeless. Maybe that's why Jonathan Demme, a fan, chose to film Hitchcock performing an edgy acoustic show in a Manhattan storefront a couple of years ago. (The film, "Storefront Hitchcock," has yet to screen in San Diego) Demme realizes, as do enduring fans of the Soft Boys and, later on, of the Egyptians, that Robyn Hitchcock has earned significant stature on the outer fringe of rock history. It's in the neighborhood of the lunatic fringe, where, sad to say, Syd Barrett resides. The boy priest-and martyr- of 60s psychedelia (and of course, co-founder of Pink Floyd) was a hero of the young Hitchcock. You could credibly argue that Hitchcock has enjoyed the career that Barrett might have had: making wry, adventurous, acidic records for an indulgent cult following. (An even remotely sane Barrett certainly would have eschewed the arena-rock destiny the Floyd chose in his wake) Hitchcock's disciples have needed every iota of their indulgence, for his road from the dawn of the Soft Boys in 1977 (and the underrated debut album "A Can of Bees"0 to the dean of a new millennium has been a circuitous one. The bull's-eyes ("Fegmania" with the Egyptians; the solo work "Eye") have been accompanied by some misfires ("Groovy Decay" in '82 comes to mind); and Hitchcock's lyrical calisthenics can be as frustrating as they are entertaining. Lately though, Hitchcock's had momentum: "Moss Elixir" (which featured "Beautiful Queen," "You and Oblivion," and the scathing "Fifthly Bird") and its subsequent outtakes LP, "Mossy Liquor", both in 96; and the soundtrack to "Storefront Hitchcock," released last October. (It includes a cover by Hitchcock- a deft guitarist- of "The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix, and even better guitarist) The 12-track "Jewels for Sophia" (13, if you count the two-part curiosity tacked onto the end: Hitchcock singing over what sounds like "Chopsticks" and an echoing ditty about Gene Hackman) was recorded in multiple sessions (in Seattle, L.A. and in London) and not surprisingly, it's wildly uneven. The Seattle recordings feature guest Peter Buck on electric 12-string and include one of the album's high points: the rousing Lennon-like oddity "Viva Sea-tac," a Hitchcock concert staple for some time. Either Microsoft or "Fraiser" could heighten their hip quotients with lines like Coming and going/it has to be Boeing. and the reprise They've got the best computers and coffee and smack. The straight- ahead rocker "Elizabeth Jade" also from the Seattle sessions, has pop appeal. But the muddled title track is a disappointment. Though each is sexually charged, neither "Dark Princess" (its chorus annoying) nor "You've Got a Sweet Mouth On You Baby" (Hitchcock's vocal noodling discounts the tune to a studio lark) qualify as jewels--for Sophia, or anyone else. Then there is the bizarre, metaphorical "Antwoman," with its say what? refrain Being just contaminates the void. But "Sally was a Legend," with Kimberly Rew ( ex Soft Boys, Katrina and the Waves) on the guitar and harmonies, is retro-rock at its most buoyant; "The Cheese Alarm" is a wonderfully snide comment on society's haves and have-nots (not to mention the pros and cons of Gruyere, Stilton and Jarlsberg); and the sparse, doo-woopish "Mexican God" may well be Hitchcocks own "Positively Fourth Street" (the horror of you floats so close by my window/at least when I die, your memory will too) Grant Lee Phillips (of Grant Lee Buffalo) provides harmony on the airy ballad "I Feel Beautiful" (from the L.A. sessions), as well as bass and 'antvoices' (say the liner notes) on "Antwoman." And that's Aloka Dutta at the tablas on "The Cheese Alarm." Underutilized throughout is Hitchcock's guitar. He gets to play electric and slide at punk speed on "NASA Clapping," but that's an exception. A live rendering of "No I Don't Remember Guildford" was a highlight of "Storefront Hitchcock". Its studio version here, two minutes shorter, is just as finely nuanced, and as affectingly sung: Did something happen? / The sky just blackened/ Now there's a butterfly on my face/ And I'm a number in a drawer. Look for outtakes follow-up to "Jewels for Sophia," perhaps in the fall. In the meantime, put this in your jewel box with all your sentimental baubles and break it out when the CD player's empty and you're not feeling sentimental at all. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 23:03:52 -0400 From: four episode lesbian Subject: spin mabd review THE FLAMING LIPS SEBADOH ROBYN HITCHCOCK SONIC BOOM'S E.A.R. IQU The Fillmore San Francisco, CA July 28, 1999 I'm sure you've seen that famous photo of the 1950s movie crowd, where everyone's wearing 3-D glasses. Now picture rock'n'roll's answer to that: a crowd where everyone's wearing headphones. This tour--"The First International Music Against Brain Degeneration Revue"--offers live music as close to your brain as possible, though it might also have offered some eardrum damage in the process too. In the past year or three, the Flaming Lips have perpetrated numerous sonic stunts, monkeying with sound and physical space. They've handed out tapes to cars parked in parking garages to make ultra-surround-sound, put a few dozen boomboxes (and no instruments) in the hands of selected attendees onstage in a bizarre concert, and released the simultaneous-play four-CD set Zaireeka. This latest trick involves five hundred Walkman radios (which you swap your drivers license for), an extra mixing board, a giant video screen, and a microbroadcast, which the band shared with the other several acts. "Tune radios to 96.9 FM," said the sign by the front door. They even started cutting up if you went outside for a smoke (per California law). In Y2K-like fashion, a thirty-minute blackout preceded the gig, so everyone had to hurry. IQU took the stage once things were fixed, and laid out a sample-heavy groove with an upright bass player, keyboardist, and a DJ/guitarist. Now, about that video screen: acts with DJs are much more exciting if you can see the DJ's hands at thirty times their actual size. They are also significantly better if you can hear the stereo pan through headphones while you watch the DJ work. IQU was mostly tricks, few emotional connections, but plenty of peaks and valleys to make for a surprise-heavy trip. Sonic Boom's Experimental Audio Research was probably the most headphone-intensive act, in part because the only person on the stage had his back--or, really, his ass--facing the crowd throughout. Not much to see but a few Speak & Spells and some sort of console, and not much to hear but grinding ambient noise. No beats, kind of dark mood noise with occasional interruptions of high-pitched beeps and static and stuff--perfect background, conversation music. Robyn Hitchcock, he of the 25-year surrealist Britpop career, followed with a trademark Learish monologue and then songs. Half were drawn from his latest Jewels for Sophia LP, and probably none required the use of headphones. Still, in his special spastic way, Hitchcock was captivating, mastering melody and madness together. It probably takes more than half-an-hour for Hitchcock to really get going, which means he never really did, but just hearing one of his famous monologues is worth, well, a fifth the price of admission, which means four or five bucks. Sebadoh didn't need the headphones either, and since they came unprepared for video, a giant live likeness of Lou Barlow was projected behind the man himself throughout. (Note to self: Don't ever look at Lou Barlow that closely again.) With their mostly limp new material, it took more than headphones to like Sebadoh, and they sure weren't enhanced by the technology. Finally, the perpetrators of the evening's festivities took the stage, and the wait was worth it. After soundchecking on the fly, the group showcased material from their new record, the Soft Bulletin, beginning with the utterly fantastic "Race for the Prize." Lead Lip Wayne Coyne played only a gong--a gong--all night, while drummer Steven Drozd sat at a keyboard in front of a film of himself playing the drums (as well as sundry visual effects), as Michael Ivins played bass, seated. The Soft Bulletin isn't a social record: it's a meditation, often slow, on death and life. Where Zaireeka asked you to party--you had to invite friends to listen at all--the Soft Bulletin is better suited to headphones and contemplation. That would seem to make for a pretty un-fun gig, under ordinary circumstances, but here's where the headphones start to seem so right. Like going to the opera, maybe, you and your mates can listen up, and just compare notes afterwards. Besides, this is art: you're supposed to drink it in, participate maybe, and pay attention, dammit! So when Coyne appeared with fake blood on his forehead for "The Spark that Bled," the evening's encore, he was really asking you to bear with him for one last time. If you did, you got a fantastic reading of the song, and you had it directly injected into your head, too (wow). What is the meaning of all this? IQU and their giant video of the hands on the turntable set the tone, and the film of the Lips' drummer drove it home: the studio and the gig can become one thing. Same as playing live in the studio, I guess, only the fidelity is better when you bring the studio to the gig and give out cans to the audience. Hard to imagine it catching on, but then again, stereo was pretty novel once too.
