I've seen Robyn live a fraction of the times y'all have (my first Robyn show was in 1996, after all), but this was by far the most exciting. Seemed like it got louder after every song, and I have to pitch my marble into the urn for Robyn seeming far more confident, upbeat, and solid with a band. The performances were fantastic, the selections from all over the map (which we knew already), oh. I was SO pleased. I've been using mnemonic tricks lately to memorize set lists, which I'm sure will earn me some sort of special place in geek purgatory, but it worked this time. I'll post it soon if someone doesn't beat me to it. By the way, though there were only a few songs from Nextdoorland in the set (neither of my favorites, unfortunately), I have to admit they sounded amazing live. AMAZING. And Side Three sounds almost exactly like I wanted the new album to sound. > From: "Montauk Daisy" > Can Drew be Cousin It;-? I have a picture of myself with my hair over my face, from college, that would fit the bill -- if my scanner worked I could prove it. Unfortunately I cut it short years ago. There's always wigs, I suppose. > From: gSs > > On Fri, 1 Nov 2002, drew wrote: >> I may have voted for a Republican once upon a time, but I can't >> recall doing so.

Kupietz, wearing a pointy hat" Subject: Amoeba in-store recap Soft Boys' Amoeba Music in-store appearance, Haight Street, San Francisco, Nov. 2 2002. A *dynamite* show - quite possibly the best electric set I've heard from RH and/or the boys in 15 years! The boys were exceptionally energetic - with Robyn & Kimberley both breaking strings during the set. Vocal harmonies and all instrument performances were spot-on, too. Morris, during set up: "The bird sings with it's fingers, the bird sings with it's fingers." I've never heard Morris say anything before, but apparently he's quite a character as well. 1. I Love Lucy Robyn: "That was the sound check. This is the sound." 2. Pulse Of My Heart 3. Mr. Kennedy 4. Unprotected Love (Robyn breaks string.) Morris, during string change: "I once had a good panic attack on Haight Street." Somehow leads to banter back and forth between Morris, Robyn, and the audience over whether a music venue being closed down means that Pere Ubu never played there. (They concluded it doesn't.) Robyn: "We apologize for making a new record, because that messes with the legend." 5. Mind Is Connected (with part of the bassline played by plucking the string and then turning the tuning pegs rather than fretting the notes - neat!) Robyn: "This is dedicated to us when we were much younger - and you, if you want to feel that way." 6. Queen Of Eyes 7. Kingdom Of Love (Kimberley breaks string in middle, but gets through second half of song with flying colors anyway.) Robyn: "No Soft Boys appearance would be complete without a song from our original sponsor, Syd Barrett. He was in school with us all, but we never saw him, because he was already gone. It's amazing what you can learn from somebody's absence." 8. Vegetable Man (with Robyn doing an excellent Johnny Rotten imitation in the middle: "It's-a wot I WEAR! It's-a wot you SEE! It-a must be ME! It's-a wot I AM!") Robyn: We're going to play one more song, then we have to sit in a dark room for 5 minutes and then they want us to come out and sign things for you. But we can't make eye contact... this is for your protection as well as ours." 9. Sudden Town End of set. I got Robyn's autograph my I Often Dream Of Trains CD, and all four of them on Underwater Moonlight! Full sized images of my newest prized possessions at and , and also added to the Robynhitchcockclub@yahoogroups photo section . Me: "I've been a huge fan of yours for twenty years." Robyn: "Uh, that's a long time." Me: "I first saw you at Irving Plaza in 1985." Robyn: "That's a long time." What a weekend! Mike PS. My friend Tom actually got to chat with Robyn for a few minutes - Tom gave Robyn his own latest CD during a quiet moment, and they wound up talking a while. Robyn asked for Tom's autograph on the CD. Tom also said he asked Robyn if he lived in SF, Robyn said no but he'd had several girlfriends here - "but not all at the same time." Tom and Robyn were both wearing colorful striped shirts, I got what I hope will be a funny snapshot of them.

Kupietz, wearing a pointy hat" Subject: Amoeba in-store: Correction The Amoeba in-store also included "The Man With The Lightbulb Head", which should have been listed in the previous email right after "Kingdom Of Love". TMWTLH also included a jam section at the end which I don't believe was in the version they played last night at Slim's? Anybody else recall?
