Yeah, but technically you can't get the "bonus disc" any more. Just its entire musical contents, is all. But do they come with a piece of paper with a photocopy of Robyn's face and the words "pre-order bonus disc" on it? I think not. A Very Hitchcock (near) Halloween in LA this year, it seems.

Well, it's going on 5 1/2 years since the Soft Boys were at Saint Andrews in Detroit. I think it's about time that Robyn revisited the city of Robocop, and the city with the baseball team that has the best record in MLB this year, the Detroit Tigers! Michael B.

"I shouted through my megaphone 'there's a lobster on my telephone!' and I don't know why the queen of bees would be shopping in the town..." No, it's not that Hitchcock guy. That's from "The Bee" by Starlight Mints, from their album "Drowaton." Best thing I've heard in a very, very long time. They made me (finally) forget about the Flaming Lips. I think they're the new New Pornographers. They use cool organs (Mellotron, Vox, Chamberlain, whatever). They use dandy string arrangements like the old Bee Gees albums.
