The Annandale is a great venue. I don't know much of his stuff though so I probably won't be going myself.   Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 1356 Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 12:25 pm:    Padraig, I saw them a couple of years ago and they put on a great show touring the previous album, Ole! Tarantula. I even got to talk to Peter Buck after the show. The Venus 3 is the current R.E.M. minus Stipe and Mills. Goodnight, Oslo is even better then OT from all acounts, although my copy won't arrive for another month.   Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 1412 Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 04:15 pm:    Anyone in Australia planning on seeing Robyn this week?   Geoff Holmes Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 474 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 - 09:29 am:    Bugger.

There is at least one other song from the same show as well (Kingdom of Love). Hitchcock is obviously an entertaining stage character. I'm sure the REM folks have been enjoying the opportunity to perform actual songs.   spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 3045 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 - 07:46 am:    I have only ever heard a handful of Robyn's stuff, years ago, and more recently thanks to Randy, I find a really strong correlation to The Jazz butcher, the look, the Syd barett touch, he English quirkiness in both their songwriting, quite uncanny how similar these fellows are IMHO. Like the clip by the way Michael.
