For Fall 2002:

Things may look quiet on the surface, but the Softs are busy putting the final touches on their new record, due to be released in late September with a tour to follow. We'll also be launching a new revamped website then, so be sure to bookmark us and check back ...

Just out is Issue #60, which comes with a 17-track CD featuring "My Mind Is Connected To Your Dreams," recorded live at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle. This is an exclusive, the covetability of which we've decided to augment by taking down other live versions from this site. So if you want, need, or otherwise desire the song, you'll have to buy the magazine, which, really, you should be doing anyway. Featured articles include those on Joel Plaskett, P.F. Sloan, Matt Piucci, Johnny Kaplan, and many more, while the CD also boasts tracks from Johnny Dowd, Pete Wylie, the Arlenes, and of course, many more. The fine print:

Another show has been added in December, or rather a "live rehearsal." We're not altogether sure what that means but we do know it'll be at Northampton Roadmender on the 5th.

On Sunday, November 11 (er, that would be today, actually), Robyn will be playing at Dingwall's in Camden, aided by Ken Stringfellow and Young Fresh Fellow Scott McCaughey. Rumor has it that Matthew, Kimberley, and Morris may turn up to play as well, although the word "fellow" figures in none of their appellations.

We are very relieved and happy about the return of Steve, who went missing from the Seligman household around the time of Daisy's arrival. A noticeably thinner Steve is still unsure how he feels about the whole new-baby thing.

The Softs will be playing the Notting Hill Arts Club at 21 Notting Hill Gate on December 12.

We've seen some pretty young folks in Softs audiences, but the youngest one at the recent Royal Festival Hall show was undoubtedly Daisy Kanako Seligman, who was all of nine days old when she got to add "the Soft Boys" to her growing list of the delights this plane of existence has to offer. Already a lass with a mind of her own, she has alarmed her Fulham-supporting parents by favoring Liverpool. Her favourite Soft Boy is Morris Windsor.

Janice Forsyth recently had a chat with Robyn in her BBC Radio Scotland studio. Robyn spoke about the rain, the sun, and Underwater Moonlight, and revealed the surprising truth about his Soft Boys mates and himself: "they're all deeply eccentric people, they're what people think I am but I'm not, I just have, you know, an exotic turn of phrase but I'm basically dead normal. I'm really excited for instance that Baby Spice is in this building."

October 18 sees the Soft Boys playing at The Square in Harlow, Essex. That's a Thursday, the night before the Pretty Things show at the Royal Festival Hall. You can get tickets for the Square show online from the Way Ahead box office.

The July 20th show at the Clerkenwell Festival (which would be near the Feghorn, aka the Three Kings) in London was documented by Bob Cooper.

The Soft Boys will be opening for the Pretty Things at the Royal Festival Hall on October 19. That's a Friday, at 8:00 P.M... and something else will be happening around that date, predictably enough to those who followed the tour diary.

ABC News did a thirty-minute interview with the Soft Boys on March 22nd. It's scheduled to air on 3500 stations during the last week of March. The band played acoustic versions of "Queen of Eyes", "Kingdom of Love", and "Mr. Kennedy". "We used toy amps best described by their measurements," says our source, who may have confused anonymity with unidentifiability. "Kim and Robyn eight centimeters by eleven centimeters, Matthew six centimeters by fourteen centimeters, Morris, brushes and a snare and maracas."

Underwater Moonlight will be released in Japan for the first time. We don't have a date, didn't even get one once we'd seen the disc itself, but it's official.

Robyn Hitchcock has done a two-day press trip in Germany. There's plenty of interest in the Underwater Moonlight release there – the Soft Boys may play some shows in Germany this fall. Charlotte Roche's interview with Robyn Hitchcock on Fast Forward aired on March 14th.
