    Robyn Hitchcock + Gillian Welch + David Rawlings = Spooked

    That's the equation and October 5 is the street date but has anyone heard much about this? Unplugged and uninhibited. Sounds charmed to me. I'll definitely be watching for early reports....

    Yeah, that does sound interesting. So I pre-ordered it to score the bonus CD-R.

    Here's hoping!

    Wow! Decisive. Man of action. So, is that one of the reasons that Mrs. chrisnz made the trip to the altar with you? I bet that endless stream of packages arriving at your door from overseas is not helping her remember all your good traits, eh? I bet it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, eh?



    Hehehe, just saw a nice review of the album at http://popmatters.com/music/reviews/...-spooked.shtml. Keep me posted.

    I just ordered it on deepdiscountcd.com and paid about..

    $13 or so. They didn't mention a bonus cd, but I'm hoping that's included. After seeing Gillian and David live in August, I'm rarin' to hear something new from them. It was fun seeing them mixing it up with Emmylou, Buddy Miller and Patty Griffin, so I'm looking forward to their collaberation with Hitchcock. He's a pretty cool dude, so it should be interesting to say the least. In fact, I really have no preconceived ideas as to how this thing will sound, which makes it all the more enticing for me.

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    I heard it's a mix of noise rock, no wave, and screamo. Should be great.
    And the world will turn to flowing pink vapor stew.

    Errr that would be no, nope and definitely not.

    I think what attracted her was more that I'm not..... an inclined to the parsimonious tighwad who lurks around hoping that someone else will bite the bullet so that he doesn't have to release the death grip on his wallet............unlike some that I could mention

    BWAHAHAHA ;-)

    Hmmm, I think I've just been insulted but I'm still impressed whenever you whip out one of those colorful 5-syllable gems. Parsimonious tighwad, eh? I might have a quibble with the redundancy and we do stick another "t" in the middle of tightwad over here, but I do rather like the sound of it. Sure beats the stuffing out of that platitudinous "cheap-ass" I'm usually labelled with!

    Gad the humiliation! Lectured on spelling by an "English as a second language" American.

    I guess I must have wrestled with the parsi... money thing and then relaxed... taken my eye off the ball...

    As for the redundancy. Well it's like tighwad*tighwad, tighwad squared or... TIGHWAD!!!
