Sound Choices
by Jim Sullivan
Is Robyn Hitchcock playing it straighter these days? Maybe a bit. His latest album, Perspex Island, does seem to dwell uncommonly upon romantic love. But after years of appreciating his poetic license and brain-baffling couplets, we inhabitants of Hitchcock's universe can probably stand a smidgeon of normality. The man writes gorgeous Pop-Psychedelic gems. And tomorrow night at Avalon he'll be backed by his longtime on-again off-again band, The Egyptians. Even if Hitchcock is playing it a little more down the middle, you can still expect some jarring twists and turns.
