"Loosen your spine... bury your television.... and welcome to a
GLOBE OF FROGS......"
This is a double dose of Hitchcock. NOT SILLY ALFRED... but hypnotic ROBYN.... Mr. Hitchcock if you please.... or more fashionably... HITCH as he's favorably known.
What would a pre-Spring advance waiting be without a bit of the ol Soft Boys and Hitchcock tunes. These tracks are a deliberate throw back to the sounds of Syd Barrett. Maybe thats what is where the rooftop shots came in from.....
These songs are beautifully executed and stand up to challenge listeners everywhere. Still, they can really only compete with themselves. They are in a class all their own. This is where they belong... in the hands of the surreal.

It is where they are best appreciated.
They have surfaced on NPR from time to time and Hitchcock is a favored guest on KCRW. I have to give this man a lot of credit over the past several years. He went on this feverish touring mode and never stopped creating. I was there for the Soft Boys reunion with Kimberly Row in New York City -- and was lucky enough to attend 7 shows in all.
This has only solidified his artistry and cemented his place as a major contributor to eclectic sounds. I've grown to like his artwork over the years. Not because I understand it but because I find whimsy in it. I actually like his illustrated traffic cones. I liked his sense of placement with lyrics, shapes and forms and his use of them. These elements come into a delicate sense of arrangement. Whether itis words, 3d forms, or sounds these are all used inter changeably.
