Just another quick posting to let you know that Mrs. Wafflehead is no longer, as the same with the US PO Box. And we have started Antwoman, Robyn's info service. Since Robyn's split from his management, we will shortly be going through all of the Wafflehead notes, folders and merch and officially 'restarting' in the near future. Please be patient, as we await legal formalities before we can get it all together. If you would like to be on Robyn's email list, please email me. Also, if you would like to receive a summer Antwoman newsletter, please send an IRC or SAE (UK ONLY) to Antwoman, PO BOX 14864, London, W4 2GD, ENGLAND. Thanks for your patience and I hope those of you that went to the US gigs enjoyed them, and those in the UK are looking forward to the 12 Bar stint in July. As always, may the cones be with you. A

Robyn was in fine form on Monday night, June 2, at the Sweet--ter in Mill Valley, Marin County, CA USA. New song highlights included a song about Nick Drake ("I Saw Nick Drake" ?), and "Jewels for Sophia." Oldies that shined: "Queen of Eyes," ""Only the Stones Remain," and "Autumn..." from "Trains." Storytelling highlight: a brilliant introduction to "Lysander," a song which now makes sense to me, I think. Thanks to Chris ("Ex-Hamburger") Alexander and Claudia for the hospitality.

plurally, we observed RH @ Cedar Cultural Centre-Mpls 24/5/97...Singularly, I was impressed by Tim Keegan and his solo trappings and his choice in loud shirts. Bought the "SuperKeen" CD-5 and met the man. I am glad to see TK over DJ's-and it seemed RH liked that, too...'Cos Bobby Dylan turned 56 that night, we were treated to a great "Queen Jane Approximately." The rest of the set was fun-cultural(acoustic gitters)-and smelled of live fish (have you ever sniffed a live fish? Wonder what Eric Clapton would smell like in a tank?) Hey, bro, I've got little round glasses too...didn't buy a cone...but if it had ice cream in it, it probably would've melted through the spaces. Maybe we're melting too-relationships, man...the shapes between us turn into Gene Hackman.

Robyn: How do you deal with the mystery which customarily surrounds a performer? I think that such mystification is the source of "distancing" in the audience/performer relationship and
creates deep motivation problems. If a public persona is a bad fit for the person wearing it, conflict is inevitable. The
music suffers. No one wins. Do you agree? (You're probably not reading this, but...)

Hitchc--k Anecdotes Wanted
Rhino is releasing "Uncorrected Personality Traits: The Robyn Hitchc--k
Collection" this August. It covers the post Soft Boys, pre-A&M years. Robyn
has done a track by track annotation, and we're writing a brief contextual
intro, but we'd love to include some fan quotes and short anecdotes. That's
where you come in. If you'd like to submit something for consideration, simply
e-mail it to me, Jim Neill at jim_neill@rhino.com. We will attribute the quotes
so please include your name (plus city and state) as you'd like it to appear
after the quote. It should be no longer than a few sentences. The shorter and
pithier, the more likely we are to use it. It can be about a gig, a song, how
you first discovered him, a conversation, whatever, but it should be somehow
evocative of what the man is about, especially as pertains to the era covered on
this CD. To that end, here is the track listing. Sorry, no rarities, but
certainly a sweet introduction for newcomers. Robyn had a lot to do with the
track selection. Believe me. We locked antlers on several tracks and this was
the end result.
Bass, Fifty Two Stations, Acid Bird, Egyptian Cream, Uncorrected Personality
Traits, Heart Full Of Leaves, Trash, Queen Elvis, She Reached For A Light, If I
Could Look, Airscape, My Wife And My Dead Wife, Night Ride To Trinidad, Raymond
Chandler Evening, Linctus House, Beautiful Girl, If You Were A Priest, Autumn Is
Your Last Chance, Nocturne (Demise), City Of Shame.
So, let's have 'em y'all. Incidentally, we offer no financial renumeration for
your words, nor do we guarantee their use. We do reserve the right to use them,
along with your name, in any potential advertising, and of course in the CD
booklet, but that's good news, right? Imagine how impressed your grandkids will
be when crazy ol' grandma and grampa point out their names in one of them wacky
antique compact disc thingies they used to play before entertainment chips were
installed directly into our brains...

Moss Elixir - what an album! Sounds like it could have been recorded in the 1960's. There's no greater compliment than that!

Saw Robyn last night at The Point in Atlanta. What a handsome guy; what a weird sense of humor. Loved the lamp. He is so talented, he deserves a better venue. It takes wild horses to get me out on a "school night" but it was worth it. Enjoyed Dear Janes also.

I discovered recently that Robyn and I were born at almost the identical date and time (within a year or so) and I'm finding that my musical interests at any given time seem to parallel his with an uncanny similarity. I have caught up with almost all of the RH/SB catalog over the past 6 months and can see my REM/drinking/acoustic phases echoed with alarming consistency. Anyway what concerns me is that lately I've had this intense desire to include obscure people's names in my conversations, especially if it happens to be a convenient rhyme, like Reg or Steve. Should I be concerned, or is this normal?

I've jsut recently "discovered" Htchc--k's music. I'd owned Eye for about a year, but never listened to it past "Cynthia Mask". I found a copy of Globe of Frogs cheap, so I bought it because it had "Balloon Man". I hate it when people do that, but I fell prey to the goofy gene. I got "Moss Elixir" last week at a used disc shop and instantly fell in love. It's all I listen to and have since purchased Birds in Perspex and Greatest Hits. He is my new idol, this week. I just wanted to say that "The Speed of Things" are some of the best lyrics I've heard in a long time.

I had a dream about Robyn last night. He was playing a gig in Madison, and I wanted to go. Some friends of mine were going to go too, but it seemed like they were just going for me, not because they were familiar with Robyn Hitchc--k or anything. So I told them, "I'm not sure this would be your cup of tea." But they decided they wanted to come anyway. So there we all were, at the concert, but they didn't really get into it and left after a few songs, as did all the rest of the audience except for me and three other random people. I was completely embarrased on Robyn's behalf... Nobody wants to play a gig for just four people, I wouldn't think. I know I'd feel a little ridiculous. Anyway, after playing a few more songs, Robyn asked me if I wanted to play along for a few, on piano. I said sure, and after that the dream more or less trailed off...

As one of the few people who saw all four recordings of "Storefront Hitchc--k" over Dec. 10 & 11 it can only be incredible. It was such a cool premise and they used the window to make an great effect. I heard the release would be in the fall. by the way, my favorite song will always be "heaven" no matter what he says in the film.

I forgot to mention, Robyn did one of those "storefront performances" here in Madison, WI a number of years ago (c. 1987, I think). I heard about it from a friend recently, who was lucky enough to be there. I hadn't heard of Robyn at that time anyway. Supposedly, he played for about an hour, and Ghost Ship was in the set.

Sounds like you've heard about as much about the flick as I have. Here's all I know: The t-tle will be "Storefront Hitchc--k," since the performance occurred in a Manhattan storefront. The performance happened in mid-December, perhaps more than one day, I'm not sure. Orion Pictures is distributing the film (I thought they were defunct!). I know nothing regarding release dates, movie or soundtrack. I was just trying to locate an Orion homepage to try to find information, but I can't find one. Actually, I've been meaning to rent Stop Making Sense lately-- I haven't seen it yet!

Good choice, Ryan. Actually,in my mind, "I Often" & "Element" are engaged in an ongoing struggle to determine once & for all which of them is the better album. It's a struggle somewhat reminiscent of that "Star Trek" episode where the positive & negative versions of a space traveller are locked in an eternal battle. Sorry to say I can't help on the "Mossy Liquor" front. But hey, what about the news that Jonathan Demme is directin a Robyn concert film. If "Stop Making Sense" is any indication, this project will be a-MAY-zing. Any
confirmations of this or any comments?
