Question: Have you heard of a musician named Robyn Hitchcock!?
I love his music, but I can't seem to find much by him!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
Yes, I have heard of him, and I'm familiar with his music!.
From Wikipedia:
Robyn Rowan Hitchcock (born March 3, 1953) is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist who also dabbles in most forms of art, in particular painting and poetry, and has occasionally shown an interest in acting!. While primarily a vocalist and guitarist, he also plays harmonica, piano and bass guitar!.
STYLE:
Hitchcock's musical and lyrical styles have been influenced by his appreciation of Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Syd Barrett!. Hitchcock's lyrics are an essential component of his work and tend to include surrealism, comedic songs, characterizations of English eccentrics and melancholy depictions of everyday life!. His themes include what many psychologists view as the roots of modern neurosis - namely, death, sex and eating!. (Recognizing this theme, he released an EP in 2007 called "Sex, Food, Death and Tarantulas"!.)

Here's a movie tie-in that mentions the documentary that ran on the Independent Film Channel, if I recall correctly:
For the rest of the Nineties, he continued recording and performing as a solo artist, releasing several albums on Warner Brothers Records, such as 1996's Moss Elixir (which featured the contributions of violinist Deni Bonet), and the soundtrack from the Jonathan Demme-directed concert film "Storefront Hitchcock" in 1998!. The 1999 release Jewels for Sophia featured cameos from Southern California-based musicians Jon Brion and Grant-Lee Phillips, both of whom often shared the stage with Hitchcock when he played Los Angeles nightclub Largo!.
Here's information about a second documentary:
In 2007 he was the subject of a documentary "Robyn Hitchcock: Sex, Food, Death!.!.!. and Insects" directed by John Edginton, shown in the United States on the Sundance Channel and in the UK on BBC4!. “Food, sex and death are all corridors to life if you like!. You need sex to get you here, you need food to keep you here and you need death to get you out and they’re the entry and exit signs!.” The filmmaker eavesdrops on Hitchcock at work on his latest collection of songs with contributors including Nick Lowe, former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, Peter Buck and Gillian Welch!. The film culminates with Hitchcock and the band taking the songs on the road in America!. A Live EP with The Venus 3, Sex, Food, Death!.!.!. and Tarantulas, was released in conjunction with the documentary!. The film also includes candid interviews with Hitchcock, who reveals much about the source of his work: “At heart I’m a frightened angry person!. That’s probably why my stuff isn’t totally insubstantial!. I’m constantly, deep down inside, in a kind of rage!.”
There, now, doesn't that help ease your mind!? He DOES fit in the movie section~sort of~because of the two documentaries!. "Storefront Hitchcock" does get aired from time to time, but I haven't seen the other documentary!.
