Robyn Hithcock in back!!!!!  Oh frabjous day! Callooh, callay!  I'm going
to see him Saturday night!  Maybe he's coming to your area too?

A couple of other bits of info that might be of interest to Hitchcock
fans are that there are interviews with him in the Jan/Feb 1985 issue of
Matter and in issue 12 of Bucketfull of Brains.

An enlightening quote from Matter:

	I lead what you would call a very normal life, and I'm a very
	normal person.... I've just got a lot of tendrils in my mind.
	My mind crystalized very rapidly; it forms branches very
	quickly.  It's like a little railway system which is always
	looking for somewhere else to colonize.

He also explains how he too is Suspended In Gaffa:

	I tie up my head with this stuff called gaffer tape, and I bind
	my head up at night, and I unbind it in the morning, and it
	stops my brain from leaking out onto the pillow.  So I'm
	alright.

Oh, by the way, his album "I Often Dream Of Trains" is just about as
good as music gets.  And "Black Snake Diamond Role" is amazingly good
too!  Just pretend I'm raving and drooling right here in the same way I
might do about "The Dreaming", but not quite as much, and you'll get the
general idea.

			 having a portable Empire State Building, cause
			 you can mix on it."

Newsweek!  Oh boy!
