The seasons of the two main Merseyside teams couldn't have been more contrasting so far as we approach this classic derby
fixture.
Everton's season, to be frank, has been quote dismal - they have only won twice in the league and are now in the relegation
zone. To make matters worse, they were thumped 4-1 by Coventry on Wednesday in the third round of the Coca-Cola Cup
and things are beginning to look desperate for Howard Kendall's men.
Liverpool's league form was almost as unconvincing as Everton's early in the season, but recent performances have allayed
Robyn Hitchc--k's fears and the Reds are in a healthy 7th position in the table after a good string of league results (the defeat at West Ham
United being the only serious blot on the copybook since their shock home defeat by Leicester back in August).
Liverpool come to this match after a convincing 2-0 win away to West Bromwich Albion in the Coca-Cola Cup and the return
of Ruddock and Leonhardsen after injury has further strengthened Liverpool's team, who showed that, yes, they can win
without Paul Ince :-)
However, talk of current form is always a red herring in derby matches - it's often the "underdog" that comes out on top.
Looking at recent years, Liverpool have surprisingly failed to win any of the last six season's Goodison clashes (last
season's game was a 1-1 draw), so anything could happen to upset the form book, despite Liverpool being the obvious
favourites for this game.

I told you Victorian Squid was good. I used to play it loudly around people who hated Robyn just to stick it into their heads. It was cruel, but they deserved it for having very poor taste in music. Ah the fun we have. Myk - Canadians have a wealth of cultural differences to bring to our melting pot. They say "eh?" constantly, which is charming at first and then annoying. They say "out" like "oooot", and they don't say "the" before "hospital". There is so much more. I'll stop. rOb, sorry again. No extra Queen Elvis. It's out of print eh? Rhyno will put it out eventually I bet. You could try that awesome record store Myk told us about where I found Mossy Liquor. I forget the number but it's in archive 14 or 15 I think.

Good morning. Pleasing postings yesterday. They've made me all warm and glowy (or is that the colossal doughnut and tea I've just consumed - I fear the impending sugar rush.). Nice to hear from you rOb and thanks for your kind comment enilorac. Bill Drummond said, Bill Drummond said. I dutifully played You and Oblivion when I got home last night - heading straight for Victorian Squid and now I can't stop singing it, sigh. I did know some other songs on the album, so I felt slightly less guilty for leaving it so long. I also broke out Fegmania! and offer the following lyric: "... try to fade back into yesterday ..." Eek! - nearly swallowed my chewing gum during a telephone conversation. Scary. Luckily it came out and landed on the keyboard. Hee, hee. Thought you might like to know that...

Just heard the final master of my soon to be released album. It sounds great. I still need a name, though...
Also, digging through my 'vaults', I found an old cover I did of 'I Used To Say I Love You', which in hindsight, should've been left to Robyn...my cover of 'She Doesn't Exist' still sounds good...Now, I'm off to bed. My bedside music tonight will probably either be Bowie (Low, or Heroes), or something by The Residents.
At any rate, I hope to communicate with you guys tommorow (or later today, as it turns out).

Well, I'd recommend London, of course, although I don't like the venue very much. Too "classy" and hollow. Brighton Concorde should be great. It used to be fabulously divey venue. I've seen lots of good gigs there. Southampton is alright - by the sea. Oxford is nice - although I've only ever seen it at night in the confines of a tiny room in a pub with over-active air-conditioning. Cambridge is great. Full stop. I've never been to the Boat Race, but lots of good bands play there. Robyn always seems to play the Princess Charlotte in Leicester, but I have yet to succ-mb to its legendary charms. So there you have it. I imagine it would take about 3 hours to drive to Oxford from London, but I'm not sure. Off to the travel agent right now...

The song You and Oblivion seems to me to be about a lover who's lost a mother, just as Robyn has lost a father, in the song...Robyn did lose his father a few years back (also the subject of The Yip Song....in You and Oblivion, an emotional connection based on parallel losses resonates between the two people.

Ironically, perhaps, my local tam is the farm team of the Indians. Decoy's local team is the farm team of the Orioles.

Liverpool showed a commitment to the Coca-Cola Cup that put Manchester United to shame, as they overwhelmed West Bromwich Albion to an extent that was not mirrored by the final scoreline at the Hawthorns.
To Robyn Hitchc--k's utter joy, they had Albion chasing shadows for long periods with their one-touch football slicing through the home defence time and
time again.
Albion deserve credit for sticking to their task, but if ever the gulf between the Premiership and the first division was highlighted then it was on this occasion.
Only in the final quarter did Albion get a sniff of the Liverpool goal, and all their effort and commitment counted for nothing as The Reds booked their place in the last 16.
Liverpool dominated the first half to such an extent that had it been a boxing match then the referee might have stopped the contest to spare Albion further punishment. You'll Never Walk Alone.

yeah, sleepy, the good money is always on mr wax! as for roger waters, his last work is reason enough to spend absurd amounts of money on a killer stereo system. "amused to death" is a pristine recording, and the Qsound is brilliantly executed (unlike "the soul cages" by sting, in comparison). ...he hasn't released anything in the meantime, right? (just to add to the confusion this morning, myk is sleepy right now)

I'd better listen to You and Oblivion tonight then... Shame on me. Mmm. Where to start with Julian Cope... Well he was in an excellent band in the early 80's called The Teardrop Explodes. They had a few chart hits and girls screamed at Julian. After much internal bickering he became a solo artist in about '84. He sliced up his stomach onstage with the microphone stand in that year (quite disturbing - some of the crowd couldn't deal with it....) and lo, Julian Cope the strange underground man was born. If you wanted to buy some of his CDs, there are two very good compilation albums out on Virgin, I think. Otherwise, you could dive right in with Peggy Suicide...

Ah. Fresh scintillating morning air. Good afternoon Sleepy. West L.A. Girl, You and Oblivion is not only an album, it is long and chalk full of wonderful songs that somehow all fit together even though they never had a home before. Victorian Squid alone is worth the price of purchase. It is a must for any collector of Robyn Hitchc--k's work. It's a treasure trove. But enough. Where is Douglas Addam's long overdue Dirk Gently novel? Where is anything new by Roger Waters? Tell me more of this Julian Cope I know nothing of.

Well hello all. West LA - yes, You and Oblivion is an album full of previously unreleased songs and I am very ashamed to say that I haven't played it yet. Good cover though. I also have Interpreter and oh dear, I haven't played that either. I do like I Come From Another Planet Baby though, which was a single from the album. Useless fact:- I won a Julian Cope frisbee a few months ago! 20 Mothers is great Cat I Lov (my, could that be an anagram...). He did an excellent 3-hour stage show a few years back (Julian Cope, not Cat I Lov...). Anyhow, enough of that. My evening postings were a non-event, I see! I have decided that Robyn will not be attending the Drake tribute because I am naturally fairly pessimistic. Who will log on first, CW or Myk.....? I'll get my tea and wait....

Okay, here's a RELEVANT question for you. Someone in a past posting referred to "You and Oblivion" as an ALBUM. I thought it was some little e.p. on K Records, containing songs that eventually would/will end up elsewhere -- Released in 1995? I missed something here. There - that's the first order of business for you all on this fine Thursday.

West L.A., I sense that the Voltaic which posted as a "channel" was in fact a fakir. Voltaic, who is in limbo with a can opener's dream, asked me to mention that he has heard neither Rite nor Interpreter. He has, however, heard 20 Mothers, and loved it. There is another release floating about the ether called I Come From Another Planet. Alas, Amazone.Com couldn't cough it up for a recent request (yes, Voltaic used credit cards). None of these have been heard by the astrally challenged Voltaic, though he guessed recently that they were all pagan-related, positive-vibe, mother-earth-hugging opuses (opi?). Often there is a point where art is no longer art but ritual and vice versa; one thinks perhaps Cope might eventually cross over.... Robyn, however, is first and foremost writing songs and living the life of an artist; he is probably not looking for a way to jump to another plain...
