Finally got Black Snake Diamond Role by Robyn Hitchcock. It's his 1981 solo debut. I love Robyn Hitchcock. I think the guy is a genius. Every time I get an album by him I get so mentally satisfied and inspired. This one is definitely not a disappointment. My favorite song on the album is track 1 "The Man Who Invented Himself". It's crazy but I feel a strong connection to the man Robyn's ...

Someone said they weren't familiar with him...so, I thought I would post some frequently played and favorites of mine.

Another great single from the Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3. This guy is a treasure. I've seen a few posts on this new album, but no red dots -- so here's one to enjoy.

Goodnight Oslo is the new album from indie pop icon Robyn Hitchcock. Backing the former Soft Boys singer on the record is once again the Venus 3 (Scott McCaughey of The Minus 5, and R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Bill Rieflin).For over three decades now Hitchcock has been making some of the most enjoyable and catchiest pop music around. All of it done with an English post-punk flair ("Up To Our Necks"

If you're in the mood for some relaxing folk-pop ala Elliot Smith, Jude, Bayside, Iron & Wine then plug "Television" by Robyn Hitchcock into "Pandora":http://www.pandora.com/. It's groovy and mellow.That's all.

how did i never listen to *Robyn Hitchcock* until last night? I mean, hello? He's amazing? WTF where WAS everyone for the past 22 years when they should have been telling me to listen to him? Seriously, not one single person. Ever. Happened by accident last night. Best thing ever.The entire world let me down on this one. Slackers.I'll not forget this, Earth.

It was a bit odd to walk into Symphony Space on Saturday night and see director Jonathan Demme trying to scalp his extra tickets to that evening's performance of I Often Dream of Trains, the "psych-folk" masterpiece by British cult figure Robyn Hitchcock. Hitchcock has appeared in several of Demme's movies over the years — [...]

Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3: Goodnight Oslo Robyn Hitchcock is one of the most prolific songwriters of his generation. For three decades Hitchcock has been building a loyal cult following without any type of commercial success. He has been a critical darling, but could he continue to thrill listeners with his 16th studio album, Goodnight Oslo ? It's hard to answer that question. Anyone w...

Everyone's buzzing about the Anne Hathaway-starring, Jonathan Demme-directed, Rachel Getting Married . It's better than the chihuahua movie even. On Friday, we listened to Tunde Adebimpe's Neil Young cover (the TVOTR singer plays the guy marrying Rachel). Also on the soundtrack are two Robyn Hitchcock tunes, one of which was written for the film. It's a dense rocker punctuated by trumpets and ...

Gotten pretty big into Robyn Hitchocock. I have 5-6 of his CD's and about 4 of his records, including a couple he's done with his band the Egyptians. I don't know what it is about Hitchcock--no one else really sounds like him (the Syd Barrett and Lennon comparisons notwithstanding). Some of his stuff is rather goofy in a very British way, but he has tons of total gems in his catalog.This demo t...

I've only listened to it once through, but I think Robyn Hitchcock's new cd, Ole! Tarantula, will quickly become one of my favorite new releases. I always find Hitchcock to be an oddly compeling artist, with his distinct voice and often weird-ass lyrics.This one is much more of a rock record than his last album, 2004's Spooked. This time around Hitchcock enlists The Venus 3 to serve as his back...
