I just found out about this whole thing by reading a way-too-long piece in the Times about it (which ended, no kidding, with the journalist stridently chastising the show for scaling down its pre- and post-show analysis programming to a scant 90 minutes a week). Apparently there's a large faction out there caring too much about AI in a negative way, too, by trying to rally popular support for this guy in order to "subvert" "the" "dominant" "par" "a" "di" "gm" or something, instead of Jeff's more obvious strategy of not watching it.

Music Review | Robyn Hitchcock Compassion, Indifference and Several Other Things Too Julien Jourdes for The New York Times Robyn Hitchcock, center, performed at the Knitting Factory with Venus 3, three members of R.E.M. By _JON PARELES_ (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/p/jon_pareles/ind ex.html?inline=nyt-per) Published: March 29, 2007 Robyn Hitchcockbs longtime fans cherish his whimsical free-associating banter between songs nearly as much as the catchy, surreal songs themselves. But on Tuesday night at the Knitting Factory, in an unusual burst of straightforwardness, he explained the artistic strategy he has been using since he arrived in 1977 as the leader of the Soft Boys, a neo-psychedelic band in the punk-rock era. _Skip to next paragraph_ (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/arts/music/29roby.html/partner/rssnyt?_r=1 &oref=slogin#secondParagraph) _Enlarge This Image_ (javascript:pop_me_up2('http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/03/29/arts/29r oby2.ready.html', '29roby2_ready', 'width=720,height=600,scrollbars=yes,toolbars=no,resizable=yes')) (javascript:pop_me_up2('http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/03/29/arts/29r oby2.ready.html', '29roby2_ready', 'width=720,height=600,scrollbars=yes,toolbars=no,resizable=yes')) Julien Jourdes for The New York Times Robyn Hitchcock at the Knitting Factory with his band, the Venus 3. bItbs all not so much meaningless as inconsequential, or ultimately painless, if you find the right level to watch things from,b he said. bThe trick is to have one eye full of compassion, and the other one has about 500 mil of indifference, and you kind of blend it.b That blend wouldnbt be complete without a few more balances: close observation and unhinged fantasy, humor and an unsparing recognition of death and deterioration. Add a lifelong fascination with insects, from an old song, b Kingdom of Love,b which describes an infatuation as bYoubve been laying eggs under my skin,b to the title song of his most recent album, bOlC)! Tarantulab (Yep Roc). Mr. Hitchcockbs imagery arrives in music thatbs a happy throwback to the mid-1960s, when psychedelic bands were packing their ideas into tuneful four-minute songs. At the Knitting Factory Mr. Hitchcock and his band played the early Pink Floyd single bSee Emily Play,b written by Syd Barrett, a compendium of ideas that would turn up in his own songs. They also played bEight Miles High,b the Byrds song about a West Coast band visiting London. Lately Mr. Hitchcockbs music has made the return trip. Hebs an Englishman transplanted to Seattle, and his band, the Venus 3, is three members of R.E.M. who also live in the Pacific Northwest: R.E.M.bs founding guitarist, Peter Buck, and two current members, Bill Rieflin on drums and Scott McCaughey on bass. (R.E.M.bs members were early and enthusiastic Soft Boys fans.) While they can rev up to the near garage-rock of the early Soft Boys, they often give Mr. Hitchcockbs songs the pealing guitar interplay and country tinge of California rock. The sound makes Mr. Hitchcockbs songs a little more reflective; at 54, he doesnbt pretend to have no past. Some of his newer songs, like bN.Y. Dollb b an imagined deathbed letter from the New York Dollsb original bassist, Arthur Kane b are unabashedly tender. But he hasnbt changed so much in 30 years; what might be a narrow niche for some songwriters has proved to be endlessly productive for Mr. Hitchcock. His newest songs, and some of his oldest, strike the same quizzical balances: nutty and thoughtful, flinty and sympathetic, and always with a good tune to cling to amid joys or disasters. _http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/arts/music/29roby.html/partner/rssnyt?_r=1 & oref=slogin_ (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/arts/music/29roby.html/partner/rssnyt?_r=1 &oref=slogin) nice pix ! ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 09:48:28 +0100 From: "Sealion Ramvir" Subject: Re: squid quotient My squid quotient was only 60.75!
