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

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 REM and MTV’s “120 Minutes” helped his US profile back in the '80s, his current Nashville-centered touring band, and working with his wife Emma Swift, producers Paul Fox, John Leckie, Jon Brion, and Dave Rawlings.

 

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