Soft Boys + REM + The Minus 5 = Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3

Sorry that I don't write more, but I haven't got a ton of time. Still, I thought I'd direct your attention towards the new Robyn Hitchcock album. It's got guys from R.E.M. in it and some fellas from The Minus 5 as well, with Hitchcock in the front. "That sounds pretty good, but how does it work?" Well. I had the same exact question at first, but I was pleasantly surprised when I finally heard the album. And yes, it's got Hitchcock's trademark bizarre lyrics.

It does work, doesn't it? Great record. And I'm going to see them live in a couple of weeks. Heaven.

Pete Buck and Bill Rieflin are in it from R.E.M., and Scott McCaughey is in it from The Minus 5 (and I think he does some work with R.E.M., too).

And hey thanks.
