Check out the new logo action! Being bored and having Photoshop leads to things like that. I made it through April Fool's Day unscathed which means I only have to get through 29 more days of this accursed month. I traditionally have very bad luck during the month of April. I know it's just a superstition and I'm sure bad things have happened during other times of the year, but my Aprils really do suck. Throughout my 20-some years of life all of the following have happened to me in April: Broken Leg. Parents [...]
Enik here, kickin' it in the Pylon this cold cold morning. I'm not the only one. Here's some info from an Associated Press piece I just read: "From Minnesota to New York, some schoolchildren are getting an extra long weekend because of the bitter chill that has spread over the eastern half of the country."
Fegmania at the workplace! Robyn Hitchcock stopped by yesterday and played a few songs from his album Olé! Tarantula for a Rolling Stone original ep to be released later. I've seen Hitchcock several times (my 21st birthday back in '89, being my favorite) and also own (and love) the Jonathan Demme directed documentary on him, Storefront Hitchcock , so I had to resist all urges to go all fanboy on him. Album: Robyn Hitchcock - Olé! [...]
I’ve been a Robyn Hitchcock fan for about ten years now. In high school, I wrote a paper analyzing the song She Doesn’t Exist Anymore and spent hours wondering just what the lyrics to One Long Pair of Eyes really meant. In college, I listened to Man With a Woman’s Shadow on repeat for hours. Every experience seeing Robyn Hitchcock is special [...]
When I was in Las Vegas last month, I really wanted to catch Love , the new Cirque De Soleil show done in collaboration with The Beatles. But since my inspiration for the trip was to see The Pogues (which had already set me back sixty-some bucks), my budget simply didn't have room for another show, especially one with $100 tickets. Fortunately, next Tuesday the Beatles will release the soundtrack to the show. Produced by George Martin and his son Giles, [...]
Ole Tarantula is the new album from the legendary Robyn Hitchcock and the first featuring the Venus 3 - aka Peter Buck , Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin. It's a return to the effervescently demented pop that Hitchcock perfected with The Soft Boys (fellow Soft Boy Kimberley Rew guests on a few tracks) and serves as a great reminder of how singular and weird an artist Hitchcock is as well as how consistent he's been over the past 30 years. Hitchcock was supposed to play Toronto [...]

Toen ik zag dat deze artiest weer een nieuwe album op de markt brachtkwamen er weer een aantal herinneringen naar boven. Een hele tijd gele-den kwam ik in aanraking met Robyn Hitchcock door zijn nummer Televi-sion, of zoals ik het altijd noem the pinge-ponge-ping-pong-song. Echteen geniaal nummer. Met volle hoop onderworp ik zijn nieuwe cd Ole Ta-rantula aan een gehoortest. Ik wist van te voren t...
Upon first listening to the upcoming Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 record Ole! Tarantula I was immediately struck with two competing thoughts: a) damn, this is really good. B) I would bet cash money that Bob Pollard is a huge Soft Boys/Hitchcock fan. This LP marks a clear return to the garage pop Hitchcock used to crank out all the time prior to his muse taking him on various genre excursions. While many of those have been rewarding, it's great to hear new material [...]

Robyn Hitchcock- The Sound of Sound Rather than light a candle for the three notorious oddballs that have recently passed, I’m spotlighting a song by a living eccentric that serves as a fitting memorial for three recently departed musicians. It's as if Robyn Hitchcock composed this bit of wistful but menacing psychedelia with Syd Barrett, Arthur Lee and Rufus Harley in mind. "I’ll remember you."
