Did they ever release the film director Jonathan Demme was making
about one of Hitchcock's tours (I think it was slated to be called
"Store-front Hitchcock" or something like that..)?
Demme's earlier film about a band ("Stop Making Sense", about the
Talking Heads) was probably one of the best concert films ever..
I like both XTC and Hitchcock in limited doses, but can't take them
for extended periods. Ever listen to Yo La Tengo?

"Storefront Hitchcock" got caught up in movie studio bullshit (I think
MGM got stuck with it when Orion went bankrupt) and has only been shown
a few times in various parts of the country. The soundtrack is available,
though. (The LP and the CD are two different performances - the LP is
better.)
What little I've heard of Yo La Tengo just sounds like substandard
Velvet Underground and/or Sonic Youth. Not sure why everyone seems to
like them so much...

The VU influence is pronounced, but I think YLT are one of the best acts
going at the moment.. Guess it's just a matter of personal taste..
