All the new songs sounded great. Lysander was the highlight of the night for me, besides the intimate in store he did which included Idonia, 1974, Bones In the Ground, W is the Antichrist and Heartful of Leaves. There were about 20 people at the instore and maybe a couple hundered at the real show. The only annoying thing was he played One L twice in a row! Michael Bachman and the good Rev Christopher H. accompanied me on the 2+ hour trip (longer for them) to Cleveland. Going in the comfort of these guys even made the show better! Ipods are amazing. I recorded both the instore and the show. Might be a while till I get a chance to transfer it to disc.

Jon Lewis ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2004 18:33:40 -0500 From: bisontentacle Subject: pittsburgh tribune-review concert preview Robyn Hitchcock set to spook Pittsburgh audiences By Regis Behe TRIBUNE-REVIEW Monday, November 8, 2004 For Robyn Hitchcock, being "Spooked" -- the title of his new album -- is not necessarily a bad thing. "To me, spooked is fun," he says. "It's not the same as being scared or paranoid or persecuted. Spooked is what little children are -- or not little children, let's not sentimentalize young humans -- but what children are. You hide in a cupboard as long as you can and burst out, then rush upstairs. Or you hide in a dusty attic until nightfall and you can't stand it any longer and you run away. Spooked is a Halloween term. ... It's sort of fear with sugar on it. It's terror for fun." Hitchcock will perform a solo show Tuesday at the Rex Theatre. The veteran British musician is a gifted lyricist whose songs are the musical equivalent of Monty Python sketches. Often whimsical, always entertaining, the only downside is that songs with the titles "The Shapes Between Us Turn Into Animals," "Madonna of the Wasps" or "My Wife and My Dead Wife" aren't always perceived as serious. "I think sometimes humor throws people for a loop," Hitchcock says. "They assume that you're not sincere because you're making jokes." If that perception lingers, it should be quashed by the company Hitchcock keeps on "Spooked." Traditional musicians Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, who Hitchcock met at a concert in London a couple of years ago, accompany him throughout the album. Talk about unlikely partnerships. "If you would have asked me a year ago, I wouldn't have believed it," Hitchcock admits. The musicians had more in common than even they suspected. Welch and Rawlings not only shared Hitchcock's interest in varying styles of music, but they had collected his albums while they were in college. The trio started out by playing songs from Bob Dylan's collaboration with "The Basement Tapes," then drifting into Hitchcock's vast catalog. The similarities in their approaches to music were striking. "I think we're all untouched by most of the technological developments in the last 30 years," he says. "They are coming out of quite a long way in the past. Not only did they listen to me in the '80s, but they listened to the Pixies and Radiohead. So they are modern-rock fans, as well as being bluegrass artists. They've got a lot of roots and they go down deep, so their branches extend further." The contributions of Welch and Rawlings were so significant Hitchcock admits it sounds like "one of their records with my voice in it." But it's Hitchcock's own skewed vision that provides the album's energy, whether it's the childlike sing-song of "Television," the swampy-evangelist tone of "Demons & Fiends," or the playful spoken interlude, "Welcome to Earth." "I was so happy when we were recording," he says. "Things like 'Television,' the harmonies were all done live, and they would just sit there and look at you, and you're in the middle of a piece of sound which is found. Your song is just draped in their voices in a way you wouldn't expect, and it was really magical. It was my favorite recording experience, doing this record." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2004 18:56:28 -0500 From: bisontentacle Subject: new york press concert preview ROBYN HITCHCOCK SAT., NOV. 13 NO ONE WEARS the hat of the "English eccentric" quite like Robyn Hitchcock. In fact, I'm fairly certain that Hitchcock would admit to actually having a chapeau in just that size and shape. Over the course of almost 30 years and dozens of recorded and filmed works (including the too-forgotten docu-concert, Storefront Hitchcock, filmed by Jonathan Demme), Hitchcock has made mincemeat of any normal thought process, made heroes out of animals and made monkeys out of mere men, maintaining always an insect's view of the world and the bugged-out whimsy that should come with it. For all the talk of his lyrically oblique strategies and the oddball images they may or may not conjure, few melody makers have the immediacy or directness that Hitchcock has at his command. Even if you count the buzzing psychedelia of his Soft Boys from the early 80s or his earliest solo studies in Lennon/Reed/Barrett pastiche (Globe of Frogs, Fegmania!), Hitchcock the lyrical eccentric has always given heed to his greatest talent-that of delectably divine song-crafting. With the heart of a blues-based folkie at his command, his simplest (or maybe, more spare?) recordings like the all-acoustic I Often Dream of Trains and the raw, rootsier Moss Elixir have a bold, blunt force that combats the croaked willow of Robyn's voice. That winnowing creekiness and cutting blues musicality is in fullest effect on his latest CD, Spooked. Recorded quite quickly (six days) in Nashville with Gillian Welch, Joey Spampinato and David Rawlings, Spooked is Hitchcock's snarlingest, gnarliest record in some time-a live-sounding, acoustic guitar-driven record with slips and slivers of sitar, dirtball swamp slides and low-key choirs meant to accentuate the lonely romanticism of its allegorical lyrics. Still as silly as he's been in the past-albeit in a quieter fashion-Hitchcock croons pleas to inanimate objects like "Television" that in his telling, are lent an eerie humanity. I said his melodies were blunter-not his thought process. Southpaw, 125 5th Ave. (betw. St. John's & Sterling Pls.), Park Slope, 718-230-0236; 7:30, $15. A.D.
