The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

And once more here's De Chirico Street
Robyn Hitchcock and Deni Bonet - From the public access prog Duets with Deni

Deni Bonet with former Soft Boy and Katrina and the Waves guitarist Kimberley Rew
Robyn Hitchcock and Deni Bonet - Arms of Love
This video is from violinist Deni Bonet's open access tv show "Duets with Deni". Arms of Love is one of my favourite Robyn songs. This is a stripped down version for guitar and violin which works well - far better than the atrocious REM cover (which appears on the "Man in the Moon" single).

A de Chirico street and THE de Chirico street
Giorgio de Chirico was a surrealist (or is that pre-surrealist?) artist - not to everybody's taste, perhaps, but I find his work preferable to, say, Dali (which isn't saying much)

This painting is called Melancholy and Mystery of a street. You can say that it is a De Chirico Street.
This, on the other hand, is Robyn performing De Chirico Street with Deni Bonet's on her open access show "Duets with Deni". With lyrics like I was followed home by a weighing machine
On De Chirico Street It said, "What do you know?" I said, "What do you mean?" On De Chirico Street Can you go wrong?
It will be the pinnacle of my life to be able to say "Jasper this one's evil" but then I am a sad case...
