Robyn Hitchcock celebrates collapse, polka dots, and new album The Confuser

[upbeat music] Hi, I'm Bill Paris, an editor at Brooklyn Vegan, and you are listening to BV Interviews, which features conversations with some of our favorite artists.

This week, we're talking to the one and only Robyn Hitchcock about his 50-year career, his new album, The Confuser, and his biggest electric band tour in decades.

We also talk about how R.E.M. and MTV's 120 Minutes and The Cutting Edge helped his US profile back in the '80s, his current Nashville-centered touring band, and working with producers over the years, including Paul Fox, John Leckie, Jon Brion, and Dave Rawlings.

Plus, Robyn's new memoir, Stranded in the Future, five records he thinks everyone should own, and lots more.

Robyn is a true one-of-a-kind artist, and this was a thrill for me to get to pick his brain.

I hope you enjoy it, too.

Here's my conversation with Robyn Hitchcock.
