The Paisley Underground was the last musical development in rock that really spoke to me, and this group was the best of all from it:

Been a bit fan of theirs since the beginning, too. All the new boxes are also great!

Saw them last month here in SF, too.

I've been listening to a fair bit of Robyn Hitchcock lately.  Quite a lot of his solo material and the Soft Boys album Underwater Moonlight have been remastered and reissued.

He also plays weekly online gigs (called Live from Tubby's House) which are generally very entertaining as he plays his material and some covers and banters with his wife.  (You sign up through Bandcamp though they are only available for a few days after the performance...)

I saw him live for the first time at the Drake Underground in Toronto.  I see that in April he is playing the Athenaeum in my old stomping grounds in Chicago, and then the next day he plays the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto!  Unless I have an impossible conflict, I will get tickets.

John, you previously mentioned that you like the sound of the Fenders on these recordings.  I agree, but in addition to that, I prefer Bob Bogle's playing lead to what Nokie Edwards was doing later.

Never really thought of that aspect.  I know the repertoires and the musical landscape were very different by the mid-60's, and that they switched to Mosrite guitars around the same time Edwards became the lead player in '63, switching back to Fender's around the time he left in '68.  I find much to enjoy in all of their albums, but the early work is the essence to me.
