Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this Cd for two reasons: Peter Buck of REM was on it, and Hitchcock was coming to my town to perform and I planned on going. I had not bought anything of his since Perspex Island (1991), but I enjoy a casual listen. This CD is excellent! The live cuts are well produced; so much so, if you didn't hear crowd applause after and before, you'd think it was a live studio recording. Hitchcock's backing band (REM's Buck, Scott McCoughey and Bill Reiflin from REM's touring band and The Minus 5) is superb and well-suited for this album's brand of power pop, and this CD includes songs fom the "Ole' Tarantuala" CD as well as some older Soft Boys songs. Standouts here are "(A Man's Got To Know His Limitations) Briggs", "Queen of Eyes", and "Ole Tarantula", the only studio song here.
Incidentally, the show was fabulous. Hitchcock is charmingly quirky onstage, and his band, The Venus 3, were having a blast. It was a bit surreal seeing Peter Buck perform in a club one week after seeing him get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of fame, but it was obvious that these guys were having an immensely good time, and the songs and performance proved it. The show was so good that I feel like I have missed out on some great music by not having invested in more Robyn Hitchcock before this. Afterwards, the entire band stuck around to talk to the crowd and sign autographs. Please go check them out if you can!
Sex, Food, Death and Tarantulas Poster
Sex, Food, Death and Tarantulas is the new EP from Robyn Hitchcock, the auteur of the highly-acclaimed album Olé! Tarantula. It contains six live unreleased tracks including the Soft Boys classic "Give It to the Soft Boys," Hitchcock solo gems like "Sometimes a Blonde," and the Venus 3's "(A Man's Got to Know His Limitations) Briggs." Also included are two videos for "Adventure Rocket Ship" from Olé! Tarantula--one live-action video and a wistful stop-motion animation rendering. In addition to the these extras overflowing from the Olé! Tarantula sessions and tour, keep an eye out for a documentary profiling the psych-popster to air on the Sundance channel which will debut at the SXSW film festival.Pop Music CDs
