XTC - This Is Pop - Sky Arts

[Tom Waits For No One]

Anyone see this last night?

Long overdue overview of an overlooked band.
It's on again this Tuesday 10th October at 22:30 if anyone can get Sky Arts.
Well worth a squint.

I recorded it. XTC are a band I think I ought to like more than I really do.

It was enjoyable, Partridge trying to be annoyed yet loving having to do it was funny to watch. Learned a lot about them and was reminded of some of their tunes I forgot about. Never knew about the controversy around "Dear God".

[Sneelock]

I'd say it's the song - if they are know at all - that they are known for here with Peter Pumpkinhead" & "Generals and Majors" tied for distant second.

You think so?
'King for a Day' broke through pretty big, but yeah, they're TOO ENGLISH to do much over here, right?

'Making Plans for Nigel'?

[Nervous Ned]

For those who are partial 'Black Sea' is the next album to get the box set treatment.

First I remember hearing them was "Senses Working Overtime" in the early years of MTV.

[Sneelock]

I think the real "radio" of today is songs used in movies & advertising. "Dear God" is featured in a lot of movies. it's in "IT" and for more than just a few seconds.

"Nigel" was the one that sold me. I went backwards and discovered the intermittent pleasures of the first two. they didn't exactly lose me along the way but I'm much less enthusiastic about some lp's than others.

I was at a record signing when "Apple Venus" came out that took HOURS. I saw more vinyl copies of "English Settlement" that evening in Hollywood than any other single item - for what that's worth.

Just finished watching it. Splendid stuff. One of the most informative and enjoyable rockumentaries ( sorry, Andy ) I've seen.
