Is Storefront Hitchcock worth buying?
Always wanted to see that film and I won't be able to rent it anywhere.

1. Where did you find it?
I saw it on PBS a few years ago. I really liked it, not flashy but just what it's advertised, Robyn playing in a storefront in New York. I really like his music and thought this film did him justice. IIRC the first half is just him and his acoustic guitar, then joined by a band.

I recently fell in lurve with his stuff all over again with last year's 'Ole Tarantula'.

:hi:

2. It's at Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Robyn-Hitchcock-Storefront/dp/0792843630/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-1287668-3259165?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1174103382&sr=8-1

I figured it would be good since Jonathan Demme made it too.

I've always liked him. Particularly "I Often Dream of Trains" and "Eye," and The Soft Boys stuff. I hadn't really listened much of his stuff from the the last 10-15 years (with the exception of "Sally Was a Legend" which I really like), but I just bought "Moss Elixir" and it sounds fantastic.

Now I'll have to check out "Ole Trantula" too. Thanks! :)
