Just because.
Robyn Hitchcock came through Chicago–by far the largest suburb of the town I live in–just yesterday for a show at the Old Town School of Folk Music in which he performed the whole of I Often Dream of Trains, probably his best album. I was not present because I am an ass and didn’t learn of the show until it was too late to get tickets. I have been consoling myself with repeat viewings of this video of Hitchcock in his back yard (or “back garden,” as I believe they say over there) playing Sid Barrett’s “Dominoes.” He notes that “Dominoes” is a good song for when it’s raining. It’s raining in my soul–or would be if I had one.
