Robyn Hitchcock - Birdshead
Robyn performing one of his lesser (but still better than most things written imho!) songs with Peter Buck out of REM
I heard a Robyn song this morning on XM, it's a pretty rare occurence and everytime I hear one I think of your Robyn obsession jams! I didn't like it at all, the title was too long for the display but it included the words, "This Man." No, it was not catchy and impressive like other Robyn songs they play.
Absolutely mullets, it is very good. It was probably the Man with the Lightbulb head ewbl... Very much acquired taste Robyn! I would also recomend you avoid The Furry Green Atom Bowl and Do Policemen Sing too!!
LOL , have you heard his new album? It is one of his very best!
