On the Mental Soundtrack tonight, because there's always a point when I'm recovering from one of my acute Crankybod<tm> attacks that my brain goes from flat-brainwave to all senses working way TF overtime 🤣

During the English Settlement tour, XTC went on Rockpalast - and here's the show:

We had them booked at our college during this tour, and alas, soon after, Andy had a breakdown and they never made it...and never toured again.
40 years ago today, XTC released their sixth studio album Mummer (1983). #XTC #80s #80smusic #boomtownpodcast

Geez I love to listen to Andy Partridge discuss his song writing process.
Wonderful interview with Chanan Hanspal. I wish I could identify chords from a quick strum like Chanan does. Impressive
Just my periodic PSA about how astonishingly good this song is. If you're fond of Apple Venus-era #XTC, then this should resonate.

On this day in 1986, “Dear God” from XTC was released as the B-side to their single “Grass”. After college radio DJs across America picked up the song, it was rereleased in 1987 (shown here). #XTC #80s #80smusic #collegerock #boomtownpodcast

Päivän pienlevy:
XTC: This Is Pop? / Heatwave (1978)
Yksi parhaista levyn kansista ikinä. En laita tähän linkkiä sävelmään, vaan linkitän saman nimisen, 70-minuuttisen dokumentin yhtyeestä.

Snipping snipping snipping goes the Scissor Man
Clipping coupons on a Saturday
Snipping snipping snipping goes the Scissor Man
His work outweighs how much that he can save
His work outweighs how much that he can save
Dun nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Dun nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
To the store
He drives to do his shopping
He does more
To try find a deal
Near the door
He finds the weekly sales ad
What a score!
Nutella is on sale
To normal shoppers
They can hardly believe he exi-is-ists
And at the checkout
His coupons make them super pissed
Super pissed
Super pi-i-ISSED!

What plans, exactly, were #xtc making for Nigel back in the day?

Let's have a cynical take on the whole education process –
XTC, "Making Plans for Nigel" (1979)
Colin Moulding, said,
"When I was about 16, my father wanted me to stay on in school. But by that time, I really didn't want to do anything other than music, I think. Anything I did outside of that, was just a way to earn money in order to get where I wanted to go, you know?"
