   Hey, thanks for the review. I’ve been looking forward to some new Hitchcock.

   As far as Fanboy-dom goes: I’ve got “Element of Light” on vinyl. That’s all I’m going to say.

   I have to admit, I like his surreal jangle-pop a metric ton. Robyn is one of those weirdly angled musical back-scratchers thats the only way to hit a certain, peculiar itch.

   Hitchcock is my hero and I have every Soft Boys album and most of his solo stuff. I just saw him live a week ago — it was incredible. He closed the night with “Give it to the Soft Boys” I nearly wept tears of joy.

   I think there is a much larger story here. Something about going someplace else and then finding where you were there, but its not you anymore.

   UPDATE: Yesterday, I received the copy of Invisible Hits from the ex-girlfriend that received it nearly twenty years ago. Apparently, she read this review and returned it to me. It is in mint condition, just like when I bought it.

   A happy ending, if I do say so myself. There are cool exes in the world after all; if she’s reading this, you’ve done a wonderfully heroic thing, ma’am!!
