On his upcoming Yep Roc release, /Oli! Tarantula/, Robyn (a.k.a. Reg, a.k.a. Please Don't Call Me Reg) is joined throughout by the Venus 3 - *Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin* - old friends who he notes are also "3/4ths of the Minus 5 and half of R.E.M." Now that's a fraction worthy of Schoolhouse Rock. The official release date of /Oli! Tarantula/ is Oct. 3, but since it's you, we'll let you pre-order the album right now to reserve your copy, and when it arrives on your doorstep, you'll also get a limited edition bonus disc with two live tracks and an exclusive, unreleased studio track not available anywhere else, which is what we meant when we said it was exclusive. Are you ready to be rocked in a quirkily infectious fashion? (There is only one correct answer.) Baby, let me follow you down to the earthly paradise known as St. Freestuffsburg, where you can listen to "Adventure Rocket Ship," the first single from /Oli! Tarantula/. One predicts it might get stuck in one's head. [...] New Releases Ole! Tarantula | Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 10/03/2006 Robyn Hitchcock sought out some old friends to record his new album, Ole! Tarantula, and he found the Venus 3: Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin. By enlisting "3/4s of the Minus 5 and half of R.E.M," Hitchcock has created what he calls, "the rockingest record I've made in years." While the album roars with the garage-fueled energy of his Soft Boys days, Hitchcock's lyricism continues to drive his songs. The New York Times says, "[His songs] bridge the psychedelia of Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett and the archetypal English 'nonsense' of Edward Lear," and Rolling Stone says, "Robyn Hitchcock's songs are a lot like the genetic code: they're tough to crack, but the secret of life is in there somewhere." In addition to the Venus 3 core group, Ole! Tarantula was engineered by Seattle mainstay Kurt Bloch and features a cast of recurrent and new characters in the Hitchcock story: Morris Windsor (Soft Boys/Egyptians), Sean Nelson (Harvey Danger), Chris Ballew (Presidents of The United States of America), Kimberly Rew (Soft Boys) and Ian McLagan (The Faces). Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 will be touring in the fall of 2006. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 19:04:16 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: taking bets now...
