	Robyn Hitchcock - Biography - AOL Music
		Robyn Hitchcock is one of England's most enduring contemporary singer/songwriters and live performers, although he's been branded eccentric and quirky during the course of his long career.
		Hitchcock started his recording career with the Soft Boys, a punk-era band specializing in melodic pop merged with comedic lyrics.
		Hitchcock's solo debut, 1981's Black Snake Diamond Role, helped consolidate his reputation as an oddball and was followed by the psychedelia of Groovy Decay in 1982 and the all-acoustic I Often Dream of Trains in 1984.

	Robyn Hitchcock
		The only thing Robyn Hitchcock does deliberately is pursue his own unique creativity, and there's not a single note on any of his recent albums that could suggest the merest hint of a ripple in the artistic integrity of the man.
		It seems that just after Robyn Hitchcock signed to AandM Records, he was called in to see the board of directors of the British arm, leg or whatever of the company.
		Robyn tuning up his guitar and looking around for the Set List Cup (a styrene vessel of the type beloved by British Rail, in this instance adorned with Hitchcock drawings and song titles) seemed to indicate that the interview was over, so spotting a door I took my cue and left.

	Robyn Hitchcock: Jewels For Sophia ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Robyn Hitchcock has spent most of his career being the right guy at the wrong time.
		Robyn Hitchcock has been responsible for some absolutely fantastic music like the pensive, mostly acoustic I Often Dream Of Trains, the playfully psychedelic Fegmania, and the tunefully misanthropic Black Snack Diamond Role.
		Hitchcock scores a bulls eye whenever he sticks to personal, relationship-oriented "Dark Princess," the contentedly domestic "I Feel Beautiful," and the loss-laden "I Don't Remember Guilford." But like well polished apples that are bad at the core, the peppy up-tempo arrangements of "The Cheese Alarm" and "Viva!

	Perfect Sound Forever: Syd Barrett/Robyn Hitchcock Connection
		Certainly Hitchcock inherited a generous helping of imagination from his late father Raymond, himself a "cartoonist, futurist and science fiction writer," according to a Hitchcock fan at Fegmania.Yet when one listens to a Hitchcock album, the unmistakable specter of Barrett is not too far off.
		Hitchcock once compared his own musical career to a hot air balloon voyage that manages to stay aloft, thanks to helpful winds in the form of successful singles and movies like Jonathan Demme's concert film Storefront Hitchcock.
		Whatever the case may be, in the future, near and distant, when the name Robyn Hitchcock is mentioned, wherever his songs are played and in whatever form, the shadow of Syd Barrett will be looming nearby.

	Robyn Hitchcock
		Hitchcock does that too : his lyrics seem obscure but create moods and images The wonderful thing Robyn manages to do, at times, is to give the impression that his lyrics just flow out freely, as if he were improvising, making them up on the spot.
		A young Hitchcock is brimming with energy on this one and the vibe is solidly electric with frequent Hendrix-like soloing.
		This is the latest Robyn release I have in my possession and it's good to see that Robyn can still "do his thing", putting out music every bit as good as his previous work.

	Robyn Hitchcock Live at the Coachhouse 02/24/06
		A persona like Hitchcock’s might be hard to share a stage with, and his well-respected presence could be a bit intimidating if it didn’t come with such a self-effacing and humorous personality.
		Further Hitchcock was happy to play second fiddle (or guitar-right as the case may be) when the Minus 5 rolled into another great song, with Robyn on rhythm.
		Robyn has progressed in the last 30 years or so, arguably much more than the usual act and he has honed his live act into a multi-tiered collage that amounts to anything-but a "Nostalgia Show".

	Salon Entertainment \| The Robyn Hitchcock hour
		Demme approached Hitchcock about the idea for a film after seeing one of his concerts during the 1996 "Moss Elixer" tour.
		Hitchcock was performing at the time with violinist Deni Bonet and guitarist Tim Keegan, whose performances in the movie -- and on the soundtrack CD -- offer a graceful melodic counterpoint to Hitchcock's guitar work.
		Hitchcock was insistent on not making the performances for the film a greatest-hits affair.

	The History of Rock Music. Robyn Hitchcock: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Lasciati i Soft Boys (e il genio rock di Kimberly Rew), Robyn Hitchcock trascorse gli anni '80 alla ricerca di una poetica surreale, lirica e intimista, nella tradizione dei grandi eccentrici britannici.
		Hitchcock non e` mai stato cosi` radiogenico, non e` mai stato cosi` poco se stesso.
		Oltre a Barrett, Hitchcock deve qualcosa anche a Lennon e a Davies, tracce dei quali vengono a galla di quando in quando nel suo canzoniere.

		Robyn was born on 3rd March 1953 in London.
		Since then Robyn has turned out several albums with the Egyptians and solo but still to this day sounds as fresh as the day he recorded his first Soft Boys album.
		Although Robyn brings a great enjoyment to music, especially with his lyrics, he seems to have passed by the British music public and enjoys more success stateside.

		Such seeming contradictions are what make Hitchcock a credible narrator to his incredible kingdom of song, the one he's built on a foundation of dreamlike, whimsical, tragic comedy and set to gorgeous and slightly askew melodies for the last 30 years.
		The Venus 3 is joined by a cast of recurrent and new characters in the Hitchcock story: Soft Boys/Egyptians bandmate Morris Windsor and Sean Nelson (Harvey Danger) on gleaming background harmonies; Chris Ballew (Presidents of The United States of America) on harmony vocals and keyboards.
		Hitchcock has long made insects and sea creatures his favorite subjects and they have their say throughout Ole Tarantula, his self-described "twenty-somethingth" album.

		Never one to stick in a genre too long, Robyn Hitchcock is back with his first proper album in two years.
		But come on: Hitchcock wrote arguably the best pair of opening songs of the ‘80s: “I Wanna Destroy You” and “Kingdom of Love.” (Ed.: Though “Let’s Go Crazy” was pretty fucking good.) Over the course of the last few decades, this guy has written a gaggle of consistently good songs, ratcheting together four great records.
		Hitchcock has been in the game 30 years now.

	Robyn Hitchcock: Spooked: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Robyn Hitchcock enlisted the help of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings for Spooked-- his first full-length collaboration (not counting, of course, The Soft Boys and The Egyptians)-- and, consequently, it's the most "American" album he's ever made.
		It begins with Hitchcock scat-singing a melody line that typically may have been played by a guitar or a keyboard.
		For Hitchcock, it's both a departure and a return to his roots.

	Ink 19 :: Robyn Hitchcock
		Englishman Robyn Hitchcock has made a career out of being eccentric.
		But Hitchcock is at his best on this one on mood-evoking songs like "You've Got a Sweet Mouth On You, Baby" and "No, I Don't Remember Guildford" (reprised from last year's soundtrack to the concert film Storefront Hitchcock) and on straight ahead rockers like "Elizabeth Jade" and the weird "NASA Clapping."
		Hitchcock produced the rest with Charlie Francis, Pete Gerrald and Pat Collier.

	Amazon.com: Storefront Hitchcock: Music From The Jonathan Demme Picture: Music: Robyn Hitchcock (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The soundtrack to the Jonathan Demme full-length documentary film of the same name, Storefront Hitchcock demonstrates that Robyn Hitchcock's psychedelic folk music is as multifaceted when presented live, solo, and acoustic as it often is with studio elaboration.
		Hitchcock's Lennon-, Barrett-, and Byrds-influenced songs--a dozen showcased here, both old and new--are dense with off-kilter imagery, humor, and warmth; his guitar playing is strikingly nimble and inventive; and his between-song raps never cease to blow the mind ("I like to imagine a church full of carcasses," begins one such soliloquy).
		I realized, after re-watching the movie, thinking I had misjudged it, this is because the songs are different on this disc -- the bulk is the same, but the CD doesn't meander like the movie, when it comes to getting to the solid material.

		Not only is Hitchcock a consummate musician, he's actually able to talk coherently about other things besides music.
		A painter and fiction writer as well as a musician, Hitchcock seems to have his feet in a number of camps and has done well in all of them.

	On the Edge of Americana / Robyn Hitchcock puts his radical twist on a familiar genre
		Robyn Hitchcock's music has been called many things: quirky, eccentric and psychedelic top the list.
		To that end, Hitchcock always puts a distinctly personal spin on his occasional forays into political commentary, such as "The President" (inspired by Ronald Reagan's 1985 visit to Bitburg, Germany) on the 1986 album The Element of Light ("When I hear the world 'democracy'/ I reach for my headphones").
		Robyn Hitchcock performs Thursday, Mar. 3 at the Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell St., SF; show time 8 pm; tickets $18; Raul Midon opens.

	Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 - Olé! Tarantula - Review - Stylus Magazine
		So, when Robyn Hitchcock enlisted resident oddballs Peter Buck and Bill Rieflin from R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey from The Minus 5 and dubbed them The Venus 3, my expectations were high for rampant experimentalism.
		While there may have been hope for the song as a brief interlude, having it clock in at such a length was a mistake for a melody this brittle.
		Hitchcock again sticks with the country vibe on “(A Man’s Gotta Know His Limitations) Briggs,” the first down-tempo track on the album worth your time.
