Thought I'd give everyone a heads-up, in case you'd care to tune in and hear a couple of hours of the man's music, loosely themed. I hope to keep the Valentine's Day portion brief, but I expect that there will be trains and bombs. The program is called "Rock Geek FM"; it'll be on from 8 until 10 PM tomorrow night (almost today, now); we stream our signal at our website, weft.org. I'm going to tune for a bit but can't stay for the whole program. Will it be archived somewhere? - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 18:04:45 -0500 From: ART ROCK POSTER Subject: Robyn Hitchcock & Terry Edwards - on Apple green vinyl! - ----- Forwarded message from Sartorial Records ----- Sartorial Split Single - rel. 28/2/2011 DOUBLE A-SIDE ON 10a** APPLE-GREEN VINYL It has long been Sartoriala**s ambition to pair Robyn Hitchcock with Terry Edwards in the labela**s series of coloured vinyl singles and the ideal opportunity has arisen - each artist has a Beatles cover in the can, perfect for a release on Apple Green shellac. Pre-order the vinyl from the Sartorial store and you'll get the mp3's sent to you on the Friday before release! [IMG] Terrya**s latest album, ClichA(c)s (12 tracks recorded in homage to Alex Chilton) includes the plaintive You Wona**t See Me, which is from the Fab Foura**s Rubber Soul. Unrequited love in a nutshell, this charming tune has been covered in the past by Bryan Ferry who realised it with harpsichords in a lush arrangement befitting his style. Edwards breaks it down to acoustic guitar and solo voice (no Beatles harmonies here), personalising the heartache. a**A deftly finger-picked versiona** - Time Out *** I Want You (shea**s so heavy) has Robyn in his element. A seemingly effortless version of the Abbey Road epic, Hitchcock is joined by Rob Ellis (ex-PJ Harvey) on drums plus regular contributors Paul Noble, Jenny Adejayan and Ruby Wright along with Harvey Danger vocalist Sean Nelson. Edwards joins the party making a rare contribution as lead guitarist! Mojo Magazine celebrated the 40th anniversary of the release of Abbey Road in 2009 by issuing a cover-mount of the album reworked by a star-studded array of artistes. This version of I Want You was commissioned for that compilation, but has never been commercially available until now. * * * * ClichA(c)s | Terry Edwards | FIT050CD a**Wonderfully twangsomea** - Q The Music ***** a**A personal, unpredictable meshing of deep-brain resonancea** - Mojo *** a**Edwards really hits the bulls-eyea** - Uncut *** Propellor Time | Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3 | FIT047CD/LP/Cassette a**A delightfully accessible outing by this perennial cult favouritea** - Times Online **** a**A clutch of affable songs, notably the chirpy Luckiness & the languid title tracka** - Mojo *** a**An acquired taste among punters, hea**s held in such high esteem by his peersa** - Classic Rock 7/10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----- End forwarded message ----- ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V19 #17 *******************************
