feeding the goldfish….

Doing this weblog is like feeding a goldfish. My children have a goldfish called sushi and I’m sure it either gets fed too much or not at all. I never remember to do it until I pass the tank, it just doesn’t ever occur to me during my day, hmm, must feed the goldfish. I’m not mean, it just doesn’t. Funnily enough I always remember if there is a fish in the fridge, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. So, anyway, just to be on the safe side sometimes I pop some food in it’s little tank, only to find out that they’ve just done the same thing. This weblog is pretty much like that (except for the fact that no one else remembers to post stuff here.. OK, it’s my weblog, but it’s their fish). Let’s just say that it’s not exactly my number one priority, what with having to look after the fish and all. So my posts of late have thinned out a little and I’ve decided to commit to writing this down in the vain hope that it may kick start the process for me to be more regular writing this stuff..
So here we go…

That’s all for now because if I write any more I will not have anything left to write tomorrow……

    Can’t wait! Can’t wait! I’ve always been a huge admirer of your music Robin! Im a stubborn bastard, and i’m hard to sastisfy but you’ve done it, you’ve done it terrifically. My days are going to be better now that I know you have a new album on the horizon. I would invite you for a cup of tea at my place, but my place isn’t a place for mortals who dwell above the soil. Good luck to you!

Great news with the Darla signing…now it looks like everyone will be fed….the goldfish, the kids, you and the Mrs., and the fans who love your music….looking forward to the release (still loving Mysterious Skin soundtrack….happened to see a rebroadcast of the Independent Film Awards, saw Greg A. get nominated for the film….were you there at the awards show when you were in LA last month?….)Congrats on the signing!

  10. Damn, Old Man… That mp3 on the Darla sight is effing sweet. You took that “big guitar sound” and made it all streamlined and sleek and sexy.

  12. Yay! Thanks Rob! Bursting with anticipation…

    Hello, Robin, I wonder what has become of your participation in Bella Union, are you still together in business with Simon? You’ve never again mentioned the label, and now your next four cds are going to be released by another label other than Bella.

    looking forward to listen to “Continental”.
    you mean like “the continental” the track by nat king cole (among others!) ?

    (I’m always wondering about the Art work for your covers , it always impresses me, your work should be at the Tate Modern next to Miro,Ernst,Duchamp!!!! Seriously.)

    Hi Robin,

    I’ve been hooked on your stuff since I saw you support OMD at the Hammersmith Odeon in ’82 (or was it ’83?) anyway, it was a long time ago, so I thought it was time that I said ‘hello’ and THANK YOU for all the music. The new track on the Darla site is superb, can’t wait to hear the rest…

    Cheers!

    Mr Smuts

  22. hearing your most hauntingly beautiful music once again reminds me of that most wonderful combination of personalities that will one day, i predict, rock the Earth to it’s foundations…..you must all realize your individual success first, however….(it’s happening)…..
