"Traditionally structured"! Change that one word to "extraneous" poetry, and you've got RJDio to a T. Hey, there was piece about the SBs in the City Paper today--not as long as the Post piece, but let me see if I can find it... The Soft Boys finally have an album out--it's called Underwater Moonlight. Most of it was originally released in 1980 and has been out of print more times than it should. But it's back in stores, thanks to the good geeks at Matador. And now, Robyn Hitchcock & Co. are touring behind the candy-coated, harmony-loaded mind bender. The record purrs and spits from a still-fresh place where midnight love songs and Beach Boys bong hits can just chill out. I called Hitch looking to justify our loyalty to a nearly 21-year-old record. Why the reunion tour now? "Young men and women hunt in packs, but once you get in your 30s, it gets suspicious for guys to hang out together. Definitely over 40, it's extremely suspicious. I guess over 50, it should be illegal." What is Underwater Moonlight? "It's sort of rock music in a way. It's the way music could have gone but didn't. We are the Beatles from a parallel world." What should we expect? "It's middle-aged guys playing obsolete music." Favorite jokes? "I never tell jokes. I just am one." Favorite drugs? "I always preferred alcohol. Oh God, a good Australian chardonnay would usually do me all right." Why does "I Wanna Destroy You" still rock? "Man's self-destructive nature has not changed." Best song? "'Insanely Jealous.' It's the most intense and hardest to perform. It's got a lot of words in it. I tend to run out of breath. You'll notice we're not playing in Colorado." The Soft Boys play D.C. with Young Fresh Fellows at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday, March 21, at the 9:30 club, 815 V. St. NW. $20. (202) 393-9030. I'm so looking forward to this show, I'll even put the disturbing news out of my mind that Morris owns a gas station. dave anybody need a ticket for this show? I may have an extra. Given the press in WDC, I'm guessing it'll sell out... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 21:15:31 -0600 From: steve Subject: RE: julian coping skills Bachman, Michael: >Is Wilder by the Teardrop Explodes worth picking up?

Yeah, I really enjoyed listening to these tracks, but they're so underproduced, they stand alone from Underwater Moonlight. I love hearing stuff like this. Very amazing the magic that happened those few months in the studio shortly after. There is a version of a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine from one of these sessions, I was hoping to hear on the bonus disc.

Harmony-laden singles with edible-crustacean, creeping-amphibian and office-furnishing lyrical content did not attract much commercial attention when the Soft Boys hatched them. Middle class, smart, and hailing from Cambridge  home of Oxford University and Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd  Robyn Hitchcock and his band seemed hopelessly out of step. The group's restless, feckless 1979 album, A Can of Bees, did little to advance leader Hitchcock's vision of fusing Abbey Road with Trout Mask Replica. The following year, with nothing to lose, Hitchcock, with fellow guitarist Kimberley Rew, drummer Morris Windsor and bassist Matthew Seligman, delved even deeper into the mystic with Underwater Moonlight. (Not surprisingly, the band was kaput by '81.) Underrated in its time, this remarkable (and remarkably strange) album about relationships and raw yearning still shines on, and it has at last been given the definitive treatment: a two-disc set that adds outtakes and a bonus disc of rehearsals  even though the original ten tracks are still all you need to know. The set kicks off ferociously with the self-explanatory "I Wanna Destroy You" (RealAudio excerpt) ("And when I have destroyed you/ I'll come picking at your bone/ And you won't have a single atom/ Left to call your own!") and leads into the even more creepily funny and immaculately harmonized "Kingdom of Love" (RealAudio excerpt): "You've been laying eggs under my skin/ Now they're hatching out under my chin/ Now there's tiny insects showing through/ And all them tiny insects look like you." It's all intrigingly irresistible  from the mischievous "I Got the Hots," in which Hitchcock pants and groans his way through a litany of unappeased appetite ("Said the curry to the corpse/ I got the hots for you"), to "Old Pervert," about hanging out under a bridge and wanting to "show you what's in my fridge." The title track (RealAudio excerpt), about two lovers going down to the sea to drown, is a surprisingly gentle and poignant closer  like waking, after a fitful night of all-too-Freudian dreams, into the silvery, surreal luminosity of a cozy dawn. Hitchcock bolsters his dark lyrics with swimmingly sinuous guitar work  and he has a perfect foil in Rew, whose shining pop sensibility would later serve him well in Katrina and the Waves ("Walking on Sunshine")  while Seligman's chunkily naove bass work and Windsor's determined pummeling round things out perfectly. Hitchcock has, of course, gone on to a lively and peculiar solo career  and the Soft Boys have reformed and are set to tour as this is being written. Yes, the outtakes and rehearsals are for devoted fans, but be forewarned that you may well become one yourself when you hear this. After all, everybody should have a dark corner in their collection for some Underwater Moonlight.

Bells Of Rhymney, The by The Byrds "Adapted from Peter Seger's adaptation of a Welsh mining disaster ballad, this is heavenly metal." 3. She Said She Said by The Beatles "A more aggressive take on the same sound; I've always felt catapulted by this one." 4. Visions Of Johanna by Bob Dylan "Songwriting never got much further than this. Not further out, just further..." 5. Wolfpack by Syd Barrett "...except possibly for 'Wolfpack' a vivid picture of someone's incompatibility with themselves. Perhaps you could never say exactly what either of these songs are about, but you can feel it instantly." 6. Moonlight On Vermont by Captain Beefheart & His... "Put this on and you'll feel like you could break out of anything. One of my all-time favorite guitar sounds--icy but warm! You can see the black shadows in the frost as the Captain runs naked through the moonlit New England fields to join the pagan groovers." 7. Isolation by John Lennon "It's very direct. There's a beautiful despair in his voice which sweeps from sweet to shredded and back again. It's short and clear, moving for precisely the opposite reason of 'Visions of Johanna' and 'Wolfpack.'" 8. Ghost In You, The by The Psychedelic Furs "Like a lot of great songs, this takes you up and down at the same time. Richard Butler--the romantic soul--wrote this with his brother Tim." 9. Charlotte Anne by Julian Cope "Once again, the words are obscure but the feeling is clear, as we say in rock 'n' roll. Julian himself told me that the chords are based on 'Louie, Louie.' A dream of a song." 10. Slow Dog by Belly "A woman named Marie is warned to carry a rifle in case she has to shoot the dog with the see-through skin.
