Sorry about that. I guess I'm thinking of the show you missed at the Mint. You left your recorder so I could tape it, and the thing malfunctioned. I remembered that you made it to a Largo show with us, I just forgot that it was the first Soft Boys one. It would have been a bad one to miss. >best -- los angeles (the both of them) second tier -- boston, hoboken, minneapolis, seattle third tier -- detroit, philadelphia, portland, toronto fourth tier -- baltimore, d.c., vancouver bottom tier -- chicago, new york, san francisco Looks like I saw both of the top tier, two of the fourth tier, and 2 fifth tier shows. I thought the DC and Baltimore shows were great, but definitely not as good as LA. The show at Slim's (SF 2002) was about the best I saw on the tour for Nextdoorland, but my memories of that tour are less clear. I was seeing 10 shows in 10 days (Soft Boys, Residents, Cramps, Paul McCartney--I had to fly back to Phoenix for that one) and doing a shitload of driving. Right in the middle of it all, I found out my house got broken into--I got the call when I was about to get a poster signed by the Soft Boys at Amoeba Records in SF. It was really weird, I was totally shaken about the robbery (they took a lot of CDs, part of my coin collection, and my favorite guitar, a black '50's Silvertone hollow-body electric with a Bigsby tremolo), and the band was wondering why I was bothering to get something signed if I was just going to be distracted by the phone. It must have looked really strange. I considered heading back home, but stayed in California a couple more days to see the LA shows (House of Blues, Amoeba Records, and the Largo). I'm glad I stayed. The shows were great and there wasn't that much more I could do at home if I had headed straight back, but still I was preoccupied with the break-in instead of really relaxing and enjoying things. I did manage to track down about half of the CDs at some used shops and the police followed up on it. Between the extensive matching of odd titles and the fact that a couple of items had been signed "To Marc" they were pretty easy to identify. By a fluke the guy who broke in got caught. He had to give ID to sell the CDs for cash, and he was later caught in the act of another break-in. That in itself wasn't enough to prove he did it, as the police pointed out, because he might have found the CDs after the actual burglar ditched them, etc. But he confessed to the break-in when questioned by the police. The detective called and told me, "We have the guy who broke into your house. He gave a description that matches your place, but let me ask you, do you have any medical apparatus at your house?" Huh? I wasn't sure what the hell he was talking about, then it clicked. A couple of years before I'd found a wheel chair, and I held onto it for work (I work with developmentally disabled adults and children). I started using it as my computer chair when my old chair wore out. The detective started laughing and told me that the guy confessed to the break-in because he felt guilty about taking things from a person with a handicap. Never did find the guitar again, but I keep my eyes open for it. Damn that espresso is good. Well, enough about my weird world. How are things in yours? Marc "Shut up! Shut up, you American.

(of course, i say buy 'em all but that goes without saying!) BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO BUYING ROBYN HITCHCOCK by Kent H. Benjamin The Soft Boys: Underwater Moonlight (Matador 2001). Rykodisc reissued all of the Soft Boys' material about ten years ago, including a definitive two-disc best of, but that's all out of print now. Still, Matador's 2001 reissue includes all the bonus tracks included on the Ryko reissue, and an entire CDs worth of rehearsals and unreleased material. This 1980 album remains a no-holds barred masterpiece, barely heard at the time but a seminal influence on bands like R.E.M. "I Wanna Destroy You," "Kingdom of Love," "Queen of Eyes," "He's a Reptile," "Only the Stones Remain," and "Where Are the Prawns" are all unqualified masterpieces, one of the finest ever mixtures of brilliant, enigmatic lyrics, and sheer muscular rock 'n' roll guitar. The Soft Boys: Nextdoorland (Matador 2002). The classic line-up of the Soft Boys, the one that recorded Underwater Moonlight, reunited for a 20-year reunion (and in typical fashion, missed it by two years) for this 2002 underrated classic. Not quite as dazzling as the 1980 album, but easily one of the best-ever reunion albums, full of classic tunes, brilliantly played. Equally fine, it should be noted, is the 6-song EP released only through Robyn's website, Side 3 (Editions PAF 2002), which contains the best track from the reunion sessions, "Narcissus." Robyn Hitchcock's Solo Years (including with The Egyptians): Much to my amazement, I just realized today that while five years ago, you could go in a record store and there were about 20 of Robyn's albums in print, virtually all are now out of print, excepting his late 90s albums for Warners and a couple on his own label (Editions PAF) from the double noughts. Still, it's not too late and not at all difficult to track down used copies, so here's a quick run-down: Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians' Greatest Hits (A&M, 1996). Out of print, but it remains the perfect starting place, and contains all Hitchcock's biggest hits, like "So You Think You're in Love," "Ultra Unbelievable Love," "Madonna of the Wasps," and "One Long Pair of Eyes," along with all the best b-sides and rarities and the collaborations with Peter Buck. Indispensable, and the ideal starter for those new to Robyn's music. Uncorrected Personality Traits -- The Robyn Hitchcock Collection (Rhino/Warner Brothers 1997) is also out of print, and the other essential album if you're only going to own two. It does a brilliant job of encapsulating his first eight solo albums, and includes the hits "Heaven," "Raymond Chandler Evening," and "The Man With the Lightbulb Head." Definitely more extreme lyrically and musically than the slicker, more commercial A&M years, but if anything, even more brilliant. The best of the rest of the out of print albums: out of the eight 1995 Rhino reissues (easy to tell from the originals -- all the Rhino reissues have a generous helping of bonus tracks) delve into them in this order, if you find 'em: Gotta Let This Hen Out! (a fine collection of live tracks serving as a wonderful 'best of'), Fegmania, and I Often Dream of Trains, and from the A&M years his biggest 'hit' LP, Perspex Island and the earlier Queen Elvis (which may be his most satisfying solo album). Moss Elixir (Warner Brothers 1998). After years of playing with The Egyptians, his second band, Robyn stripped the sound down considerably for this spare but highly evocative album, full of new favorites in his current stage act. He's joined by Tim Keegan's band, Homer, for the album. Storefront Hitchcock (Warner Brothers 1998) is the live, acoustic soundtrack to Jonathan Demme's film of the same name. Robyn plays accompanied by Deni Bonet on violin and Tim Keegan on guitar. The vinyl album version is even better, with five additional songs. Jewels For Sophia (Warner Brothers 1999) is the very best of Robyn's recent albums, and a fourth essential purchase. It includes his crowd-pleasing 'hit-that-never-was' "Viva! Sea-Tac," a love song to his adopted hometown, Seattle, and reunites Robyn and Soft Boys' guitar foil Kimberley Rew, which led ultimately to the Soft Boys reunion. Also don't miss the accompanying A Star For Bram (Editions PAF 2000), which includes classics like "I Saw Nick Drake," "Jesus & Me," and "1974"; this is his now traditional album of outtakes from his most recent album (a trend started with Mossy Liquor). Luxor (Editions PAF 2003). I wish I could remember exactly the way Robyn described this album to me last March, but apparently he doesn't consider it to be a 'real' follow-up to Jewels For Sophia, but rather a primarily acoustic collection of recent songs that is being released mainly for fans, of a bunch of songs that wouldn't be considered for his next album. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 16:20:08 -0500 From: bisontentacle Subject: Fwd: [bt-easytree-org] NEW on EZT: robyn hitchcock 01-09-04 (early show) maxwell's, hoboken, nj. http://www.easytree.org/torrents-details.php?id=15083&hit=1 >Title: robyn hitchcock 01-09-04 (early show) maxwell's, hoboken, nj. >Size: 576.42 MB >Category: Singer/Songwriter >Uploaded by: kevinengland > >Description >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Robyn Hitchcock >January 9, 2004 - Early Show >Maxwell's >Hoboken, NJ > >Taper: Jason Reiser >Source: Schoeps MK4 > Sonosax SX-M2/ls > Sony SBM-1 > Sony TCD-D8 > (mics spread ~ 17cm @ 90 degrees, 7 feet high just forward of > soundboard) >DAT > SHN: Tascam DA-30mkII > Zefiro ZA-2 > WinNT4 PC > CoolEdit 96 > CD >Wave 1.9 > mkwACT 0.96f > >Notes: Robyn played a mostly acoustic set joined by Deni Bonet on violin >as noted. > Experienced a battery problem during the chatter after > "Sinister".

Palle ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 13:53:55 -0700 From: "Marc Holden" Subject: Hitchcock in "the Rep" These 2 items appeared in back to back issues of the entertainment magazine in the Arizona Republic. From the Nov. 11-17, 2004 issue: (review of Spooked) English singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock has finally released a solo album that matches his former glories. Indeed, Spooked may be Hitchcock's finest moment since 1991's Perspex Island. Backed by alt-country darlings Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and recoded in Nashville, Spooked delves into the swampy sounds of the South. Welch and Rawlings ground the album with a brooding Americana sound that evokes crumbling plantations and backwoods hollers. At least musically. The lyrics on Hitchcock's first solo album in five years aren't much of a radical departure from his earlier whimsies. His songs are still delightfully surreal, like the musical Far Side cartoon, We're Going to Live in the Trees. An absurdist ode from a mother bird to her chicks., Hitchcock rhymes trees and millipedes over an insistent bass line and brittle Dobro. The bluesy backing works well on the strange Syd Barrett-esque Sometimes a Blonde but especially shines on a beautiful cover of the latter-day Dylan masterpiece Tryin' to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door. Hitchcock may no longer be the quirky college rocker who recorded such classic tracks as Madonna of the Wasps and Queen Elvis, but as an elder statesman, he's still an enjoyable eccentric. --Michael Senft (rating 4 out of 5 stars) [the opinions and errors above are Michael's, not mine. Marc] From the Nov.18-24, 2004 issue, "Our annual guide to the best of the Valley". In the category of "Best Place to Buy CDs", here's an excerpt from a write-up on Stinkweeds Record Exchange (www.stankweeds.com), which ends with: "The store also hosts the occasional concert: Last year saw eccentric British folkie Robyn Hitchcock play an acoustic set on Stinkweed's tiny stage." Stinkweeds has live music in the store frequently, at least 2-4 times a month. It seems really odd that they go back to a in-store early last year that was only lightly attended (15-20 people), when, for example, just a couple of months ago Camper Van Beethoven filled the place to capacity (75+). Here again, someone's calling Robyn a folk musician. I first heard that from my mother, of all people. I took her to his 50th birthday show when we were on vacation in London, last year. At one point, Robyn made his usual, recent "Fuck Bush" type of statement, which probably wouldn't set well with Mom. Later she commented,"It's alright. I often don't agree with the politics of the folk musicians I like." Hearing Robyn called 'folk' was actually startling to me at the time. Later, the more I thought about it, I realized, yeah that works. btw--When was the last time that you saw a write-up about Robyn that didn't include the word 'eccentric'? Damn, he's been pigeon-holed. Later, Marc "A man isn't poor if he can still laugh."

Tsk. >> http://www.bugmenot.com Producer-Songwriter Terry Melcher Dies Associated Press BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Terry Melcher, a record producer and songwriter who aided the careers of Ry Cooder, the Byrds and the Beach Boys, has died, his publicist announced Saturday. He was 62. Melcher, the son of actress Doris Day, died Friday night at his Beverly Hills home after a long battle with melanoma. Melcher co-wrote the hit song "Kokomo" for the Beach Boys. The song was used in the movie "Cocktail" and was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1988 for best original song. He also performed on the Beach Boys album "Pet Sounds." In the early 1960s, Melcher began singing as a solo act and later paired with future Beach Boy Bruce Johnston to form the group Bruce & Terry. The pair had several hits, then went on to form the Rip Chords, which recorded the 1964 hit "Hey, Little Cobra." In the mid-1960s, Melcher joined Columbia Records as a producer. Working with the Byrds, he produced their top-selling version of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" and other hits, including "Turn, Turn, Turn." Melcher also produced hit songs for Paul Revere and the Raiders and worked with Gram Parsons, the Mamas and the Papas, and Ry Cooder. He served as the executive producer of his mother's CBS show, "The Doris Day Show," from 1968 to 1972 and co-produced her mid-1980s show, "Doris Day's Best Friends." Melcher also helped run his mother's charitable activities, including the Doris Day Animal Foundation. In 1969, his name became linked with the grisly Charles Manson murders. Melcher once rented the home where actress Sharon Tate and a group of her friends were murdered by Manson followers. Rumors circulated that Melcher, who knew Manson, was the real target because he had turned Manson down for a record contract. Los Angeles police discounted the rumors. Melcher had since moved to Malibu, and police established that Manson knew of his new address. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 17:03:44 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Re: Hitchcock in "the Rep" > btw--When was the last time that you saw a write-up about Robyn > that > didn't include the word 'eccentric'?
