I'm at work, do you have "Lost Maddonna" or anything from the Soft Boys.
FYI - I worship at the chruch of cheese.
This song and video was my first exposure to Mr. Hitchcock, and remains my favorite.
I am in a mood today...
Thanks Norm...
Chris - If I had, you know I would post it for you. Sorry.
Dale - That's a good one...we didn't overlap in the posting confusion.
Hey, I don't know a lot about Mr. H, but always loved this one...
Scot - He would be named Bruce...that's fitting for a balloon man.
Hitchcock is fabulous and so diverse when he conveys an idea, I regret that I don't have more of his work
Psuedo - Here is a primer for you...at least.
Saw him with Billy Bragg about 10 years ago, still one of my favorite concerts ever
With Billy Bragg..I've been listening to him a lot too lately...funny.
I have 'Perspex Island' but that's it. I appreciated his songwriting talent but his music wasn't unusual enough to keep my interest. He's a very underrated musician though & has put out a buttload of albums.
What? No stream of "More Than This," his cover of the gorgeous Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music song? (Just keeding, annie. Quite a bounty on this thread!)
Aug - Stew is the main connoisseur of Hitchcock around the house...I listen to him thru osmosis. Funny, when I started posting, I though "oh, I like that one, and that one too..." I didn't think I would find this many to post that I know and love.
Mike - Are you kidding? Did he do a cover of that? Are you pulling my leg?
No lie, annie. Bee-you-ti-ful take on a lovely song. Seek it out, and ye shall find the glory...
I love Robyn Hitchcock...I saw him a couple of times, with Sean Nelson opening for him. Great shows, both.

So they began, and for an hour one pleasant voice after the other
read aloud those sad, true stories of workingwomen and their hard
lives, showing these gay young creatures what their pretty clothes
cost the real makers of them, and how much injustice, suffering, and
wasted strength went into them. It was very sober reading, but most
absorbing; for the crochet needles went slower and slower, the
lace-work lay idle, and a great tear shone like a drop of dew on the
apple blossoms as Ella listened to \"Rose\'s Story.\" They skipped the
statistics, and dipped here and there as each took her turn; but
when the two hours were over, and it was time for the club to
adjourn, all the members were deeply interested in that pathetic
book, and more in earnest than before; for this glimpse into other
lives showed them how much help was needed, and made them anxious to
lend a hand,
