110 A Renaissance Of Robyn: Hitchcock Pt 2

The GXO Podcast: A Renaissance of Robyn Pt 2 We continue our three-part odyssey into the cosmic matter that is Robyn Hitchcock. If Part 1 established him as the last true sonic horticulturalist, Part 2 ventures deeper into the post-post-modern retro sonic elixir that springs eternal through the veins of the Summer of Love and into the soul of Robyn Hitchcock. In this installment, we decode the enigma through the lens of filmmaker Jonathan Demme. We explore his seminal rock classic Storefront Hitchcock, a film that perfectly captures the genius of Robyn in the raw, intimate setting of an abandoned used clothing store on 14th Street in Manhattan. It is a masterclass in performance and atmosphere, and the definitive gateway for anyone looking to plug directly into the Hitchcock frequency. And just when you least expect it, our journey takes a mystery riddled detour through GXO influencer; the reclusive Halifax-based Power Pop practitioner, Todd Michalik and his trilogy of albums—Felt, Left, and Elft—how Michalik first introduced the music of Robyn Hitchcock through his hallowed collection of Hitchcock cassettes into the consciousness of GXO Podcast host The Generation X Offender himself. Robyn Hitchcock, the 14-year-old spirit celestially informed through 365 days of 1966 into 1967, trapped inside a six-decade odyssey of sound.  And you are not going to miss one second of it. We promise.   *THE MUSIC Cynthia Mask A Filthy Bird Clean Steve Satellite Driving Around (Radio Storm) The Devil's Coachman The Yip Song Certainly Cliquot Railway Shoes Glass Hotel You And Oblivion When I Was Dead (violin by Deni Bonet)   All songs written by Robyn Hitchcock   Additional audio from American film Director Jonathan Demme's Storefront Hitchcock   Consult with the Oracle yourself at robynhitchcock.com    Anyone wishing to contact The GXO please do by emailing us at [email protected]   Want on our mailing list?
