Robyn Hitchcock In-studio on Jonesy's Jukebox

[@mmbmbmbmb]

A great clip to get 'acquainted' with Robyn Hitchcock in a little over 40 minutes. Thank you!

[@sorrelgossert6976]

Really enjoyed this! Glad to see that Robyn is doing so well. I miss those London times in the 80's when he was with the Egyptians. Love on ya Robyn

[@baronsaturday2103]

Yeah absolutely, and Soft Boys are phenomenal too!

[@dankryskalla7303]

Steve - you are getting great guests recently! You are shining ON you crazy diamond!

[@billfurman1494]

Love people who can poke fun at themselves. Very high form of humor.

[@deannilvalli6579]

I think this is the definiton of a "laid back" approach to broadcasting.

[@Irisplove]

I don't think I've clicked on a thumbnail so fast to watch this!

[@iggypopisgod9]

When Robyn gets it right, which at times is not the case, he is an incredible talent

[@fictitiousart6410]

It's great to hear these old school musicians break through the pretentious social barriers that were created by the fans of the various style of music.

[@HeyNowNow2]

the dylan tune at the end is incredible.

[@Stranglerxx77]

Moz the great 👍 Hare Krishna yes they played really sweet and Quite moving seeing the sadness in steve jones face 😥👀🌙🕉❤️✊️🕉

[@lovedicedtomatoes9653]

I was just about to say the same thing. That sounded great.

[@tuskedbeast]

I agree with you, very powerful! And Jones reveals a depth that surely isn't apparent anywhere earlier in this interview.

[@davidryan7386]

it is on spooked with dave rawlings and gillian welch

[@bukowski20]

Magnificent. A very odd pairing of personalities but I could sit with Robyn and Jonesy all night.

[@ontrialuk7963]

The Soft Boys are a great band

[@sinisterbuthappy208]

great to hear Brenda !

[@adralicus]

Great show. Steve is a revelation.

[@drutgat2]

That was great. Thank you.

[@Danimal77]

Re-watching this and realizing that Robyn looked much younger than 64 years old at the time.

[@bandcouver]

Always a treat on have Robyn Hitchcock on a show. His 2017 self-titled album is a return to his more psychedelic electric material. Well worth having. By the way, Eartha Kitt also played one of the Catwomen on the 60's Batman TV show. I also love 'I Want To Be Evil' by her.

[@nathangolliher2776]

This is extremely good.

[@GoodbyePanama]

Saw Robyn two nights ago in Saigon Vietnam - a FREE show too! Really good mix of originals and covers, including Lipps Inc's "Funkytown".

[@baronsaturday2103]

Robyn Hitchcock always looked fabulous, and still does! I love Soft Boys and the solo work, etc. -Fantastic! PS: Hahahaha.... It's like Steve's never really informes himself too much about the people he interviews.. Don't get me wrong, I know he likes most of them, he's got great taste. Iggy, Robyn, John Cooper Clarke, Atrhur Brown, Dave Davies, Dhani Harrison, Julian Lennon, Clem Burke, Dave Steward, Dave Vanian, Henry Rollins, Edgar winter, Alice Cooper, John Rotten, Cookie, and many more!

[@Anson120]

I flipped out when i saw RH opening for the Flaming lips(soft bullitin). I He kept on talking about the first delay pedal he used. It was really heavy.

[@Stranglerxx77]

Hare Krishna that last song was amazing 😉 and quite moving and you could see the sadness in Steve jones face ...... It ain't dark yet 😥👍🌙❤️⚡️👍👀🌙🕉

[@oldskoolpaul89]

that first song was ace.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Lovely chat and tunes gents! Indeed listen to and play more music and ingest less news....

[@twistedspanner]

Robyn Hitchcock used to write lyrics for Captain Sensible's early solo stuff.

[@sspbrazil]

he did, they wrote quite a few songs together on the Captains first two albums, “Brenda Pt. 1 and Pt. 2”, “Glad It’s All Over”, “It’s Hard To Believe I’m Not” and “I’m a Spider” to name a few.

[@twistedspanner]

@@sspbrazil I've got both albums on vinyl. Wasn't sure who wrote what but I think I remember reading a Captain interview where Robyn was laughing his head off in the studio when Captain was recording saying " I can't believe your actually recording these lyrics" 😂😂😂 'Eyes like strawberry pies outside your window ' suddenly come to mind and I ain't heard those songs in decades. The song he wrote with Penny Rimbaud of Crass was / is a classic. They should have done more together.

[@sspbrazil]

@@twistedspanner yeah, the song he did with Penny is fun too, "(What D'Ya Give) The Man Who's Gotten Everything", his albums were a lot of fun.

[@sjn0202]

Great songs!

[@Vinseneb]

Superb finish up!

[@389rockford]

love

[@jjpme92un]

Mr. Jones, what's the name of that Dylan song at the end of this thing ??

[@triscat]

Not Dark Yet. From Time Out Of Mind.

[@Danimal77]

The dude has bronchitis and is hacking away without covering his mouth. I felt so bad for Jonesy, but I couldn't help but laugh at the same time at Jonesy's reactions to the coughing.

[@HB-zi3og]

Bronchitis isn't contagious.

Beautiful ending.

[@strictlydubwise]

Funny (sort of) watching the coughing, wipes, etc. in studio after 14 months of COVID lockdown.

[@jmt7278]

Brenda’s iron sledge - not heard that before, it’s catchy

[@williamr3840]

Jonesy doing his Howard Hughes thing.

Finally...

[@vivalapsych]

Great interview. Robyn seems very relaxed. Still funny and verbally playful but he’s not in “on” mode...which don’t get me wrong..I love. But it’s nice seeing him being more natural.

[@hwilder111]

the dylan tune was great!

[@seanohalloran384]

Cool interview. Steve can you get Neko Case on the show? She’s awesome and you’d totally dig her I think. Thanks.

[@christophernewton1437]

I love her cover of Madonna of the Wasps.

[@HB-zi3og]

Two great British guitarists - Steve Jones and Robyn Hitchcock. Pity Kimberly Rew wasn't there.

[@Stranglerxx77]

One of the saddest songs ever at the end

[@haj1909]

I wanted to hear them talk longer about Shane Fenton/Alvin Stardust. Bloody Americans need to learn more about legends like that!

[@adamfindlay7091]

Arnold Lane, Lucifer Sam ill do fine, cheers.

[@dynjarren7523]

We Bloody Americans have different taste from you Bloody Brits although I’ll speak for myself and not all of America! I noticed in Europe there are plenty of groups that are popular there that are completely unknown here and vice versa! So someone popular in Britain or Europe might not be able to get arrested here and vise versa. I never heard of Robin Hitchcock for example. He has intelligent lyrics and kind of reminds me of Nick Lowe. But I am learning! Thanks to KZbin!. I can now watch old top of the pops, old grey whistle test and later with Jools Holland. God, I love those shows but I missed it all when it was happening! I’m catching up slowly! Thank God for the Internet!

[@dynjarren7523]

Interesting that he lives in Nashville. So does Jack White. Nashville is one of the few cities where songwriting is respected and songs are too that also has plenty of good musicians available for live shows or recording. It’s very much Music City USA! In Britain it’s probably still London although I don’t know what’s going on lately. I haven’t followed any one in years.

[@jpr3665]

Two very smart fellows

[@bugmanuk]

What a great crashing of minds

[@newforestpixie5297]

There must have been a golden age of consumerism ( 2002 ? ) when many folks had more stuff than 20 yrs before but the 20 years since then appears to just made wealthy people much wealthier , average people less greatful for what they have - with much less time whilst becoming Homogeneous and the poorest still getting most of the blame. As for drain cleaners , there’s “ D- Block “ and Plumbase did one called “ Dambuster “ ...probably not sympathetic enough to our Saxon relatives so it’s been re named. 🍄🐢❤️ from Wessex

[@thehowlingterror]

Steve, I've left your car somewhere. Sure you'll understand.

[@thelibrarian46]

I think Steve Jones i very clever the way he can just pick up a guitar and play with other people like that.

[@shep751]

Hitchcock heavily influenced by Syd Barrett and the same voice early David Bowie stole as Syd was one of the first to sing in a distinctive English accent..

[@urbangorilla33]

Pre-covid days, going into a small studio with a little case of bronchitis....rather quaint really!

[@dynjarren7523]

Steve says he’s a survivor. He’s right! So is Johnny Lydon and Steve Matlock. But Sid Viscous was Not! The minute he met Crazy Nancy Spungen he was doomed! Same with Kurt Cobain when he met Courtney Love. He was doomed too. But Courtney’s a survivor also and nothing can ever get in her way!

[@vualgrimoire4822]

Stop smokin that gack, mister history

[@davidwhite4874]

Very Syd Barretty!

[@artrock101]

You should hear his cover of Dominos...

[@Danimal77]

@@artrock101 You heard that in Syd Barrett's documentary, didn't you?

[@Pinki2019]

Post-COVID-19 makes Hitchcock look pretty ignorant going to the studio while ill without a mask.

[@dubskj01]

Bollocks for the never minding of, for sure.

[@jokermtb]

I'm beginning to think Jonesy is a bit of a germ-thing

[@Danimal77]

The dude had bronchitis and was coughing away without covering his mouth. Jones's job was to be ON THE RADIO and TALK.

[@maxmatson1578]

Oh God! I'm not going to watch the rest of this watching this guy put a wet towel over his face all day?

[@vualgrimoire4822]

Ok, you'd better fuck off then! See ya!

warning: Jonesy is very funny. Warning; Robyn is funny as ****.

[@carloslozada2121]

[@RolanRoyce]

Never take the handshake. Dude could have bronchitis, tuberculosis, leprosy, you name it. The weird thing is that they think you WANT to touch their hand, like they're being magnanimous in offering you the hand.

[@Gizzorge]

Life long Syd Barrett wannabee!

[@peterdaigle7249]

Sounds more like Lou Reed to me

[@JonnyWahWah]

Everyone is influenced by someone

[@haj1909]

Dear me. Even Sid Vicious was better than that sad overrated acid burnout. I hate Pink Floyd....as they used to say back in the day.

[@silverapples75]

haj1909 wrong end of stick pal, Rotten loved Syd. Post-Syd Floyd he hated, as does every right thinking person.

[@InParticularNobody]

what sort of wannabe are you Gizzorge? One that hasn't created very much?

[@TomTremayne]

Is it just me or are most musicians wankers?

No it's true. And actors.

No, just you

[@maxwelledison6180]

Jonsey doesn't know how to interview people. Why is he talking at length about coffee? It has nothing to do with his guests.
