Ep. #1116: Robyn Hitchcock

Post author By vish
Post date July 23, 2026

Robyn Hitchcock is here to discuss his new memoir, Stranded in the Future, and his new album, The Confuser, surreal song and prose writing, being haunted by lifelong muses, a fear of being boring, pondering parenting and figuring yourself out, how attending an all-boys school impacts the empathy you have for people of other genders, why aliens gravitate towards other aliens like Bob Dylan and Syd Barrett, depicting one’s own transcendent dreams and trips, celebrating the past, nostalgia, and sentimentality, a nod to Nick Lowe, loving trams and trolley cars, writing books on your phone, upcoming events, other future plans, and much more.

EVERY OTHER COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH. This one is fine, but if you haven’t already, please subscribe now on Patreon so you never miss full episodes. Thanks!

Ep. #1082: Joe Pernice

Joe Pernice is here to discuss his excellent new album, Sunny, I Was Wrong, living in frigid Canada as a well-informed American, his obsession with bicycles and riding bikes, his close friendship with music writer Warren Zanes who penned lovely liner notes for this new record, being a dad and coaching baseball with some encouragement from Buck 65, writing music again after a substantial break and from a very honest, reflective perspective, why he chose to release a record under his own name, the killer studio band he assembled featuring Jim Creeggan, Mike Belitsky, and Mike Evin, bringing in very special guests like Aimee Mann, Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub, Rodney Crowell, and Jimmy Webb, what will become of the large number of unreleased songs he wrote and recorded towards this album, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
