The highly literate British psych-folk pop rock raver Robyn Hitchcock returns for his third RSD podcast appearance, this time to unveil his cracking new album, The Confuser (Tiny Ghost Records). Naturally, if you know Hitchcock, there are plenty of digressions into topics such as; people named "Roger," temporal literacy, trams and trolley buses, the polka dots of Angine de Poitrine, the culinary prowess of Gillian Welch, and why, as the author of two memoirs (including his newly published Stranded In The Future) he's often an "unreliable narrator" in his own life story.

Today's guest, Lenny Kaye couldn't be more suited to The RSD Podcast. He's a celebrated author, guitarist, music journalist, and record producer, who has finally, after all this time, released his very first solo album, Goin' Local, out now from Yep Roc. In addition to his many decades as Patti Smith's guitarist and aide-de-camp, Lenny was also the architect of the highly influential 1972 garage rock/psychedelic compilation, Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, which launched many sequels, and more than a few bands, in its wake.

We talk about all of the above, and more, in this very special conversation.

Luckily, Amy fought her way back to tell us all about it in this wide-ranging and revealing conversation.
