just a housekeeping note

I’ve gone back through old posts here to add cover art to the music posts, because someone asked about it and I’m aware that in some tumblr layouts music posts look weird without it.  Enjoy!

This is the month of the dead, leaves on your Ouija board, carry them round in your head, they’ve got free room and board, yeah

I was ten feet away from #robynhitchcock tonight and it was fantastic. (at The Drake Hotel)

Stepping into Robyn Hitchcock's surreal stream-of-consciousness

His Drake Hotel residency has become an ­autumn tradition

[ahorsemanontheroof]

Financially it is not the greatest time to be doing this, but the week after the Rheos concert in Toronto (Labour Day weekend), Robyn Hitchcock is also playing in Toronto, and…look, he’s not going to be here forever, and I’ve never seen him live and I just missed him in Ottawa two weeks ago so I’m going.

And then 5 days after that show I go to Russia, so September is going to be exhausting and awesome.

In fact, talk me out of going to all three of Robyn’s tour dates that weekend. Like why not, at this point.

[ahorsemanontheroof]

fuck it, I’m doing all three nights, it’s paid for and done.

RIDE. OR. DIE.

[fuckyeahrobynhitchcock]

and that’s me, making foolish Hitchcock-related plans, so if you are going to the Toronto shows on Sept. 11-13 at the Drake, you just might see me, or perhaps not if your vision is bad or if you’re very tall.

(May G-d grant him a long life and many tours but what kind of Hitchcock fan would I be if I didn’t assume that death may come for any of us at any moment?)
