September 30, 2018: Leslie Gooch writes, "Do you love XTC? [XTC: This is Pop] is a
documentary every fan should see, and one you'll want to show to non fans as
well. Only available by streaming via subscription channels, and an occasional
television airing, this petition is an attempt to prove enough interest to get
a Blu-ray or DVD made and available for purchase. Please add your name if you
would be interested in a copy of this fantastic documentary."
September 28, 2018: BandHouse Gigs is a DC area producer that enlists some of the area's finest
musicians to perform the songs of various bands live. On Saturday, April 6,
2019, The Barns at Wolf Trap will host A BandHouse Gigs Tribute to XTC. "For those new to
XTC, this is the chance to hear an incredible pop band's music that reminds one
of The Beatles, yet is far more underappreciated."

At Christmas”. The album is available for pre-order, to be released on

Chalkhills is a web resource dedicated to XTC
(the now defunct band). Peruse Chalkhills to find a wealth of information about
XTC, their music and recordings, and much more. Chalkhills was
created by me, John Relph, and is infrequently
updated (I am often busy with other things) so check back often. Chalkhills
was the longest extant XTC mailing list, created in April 1989 as an offshoot
of the venerable Love-Hounds list and killed off (in a bizarre kitchen
accident, of course) in August 2014. Chalkhills is the longest extant XTC web
site, first hacked together in May 1994, although FTP archives were first made
available in April 1991.

Kenn Scott "came across two contemporary reviews of XTC albums, from Canada's RPM magazine. The first is by Chris Murray, reviewing Oranges and Lemons in the March 20, 1989 issue; the second is by Steve McLean reviewing Nonsuch in the May 23, 1992 issue."

Lee Neuman sent in updated chords for “Towers of London” (but it took me even longer to get to them).
¶ Speaking of taking me a long time, Florian Decros contributed bass tablatures for Black Sea and The Dukes Of Stratosphear's Chips From the Chocolate Fireball, but I've only now made them available here. Sorry!

Gianluigi Alari provided his transcription of “Wrapped In Grey” for guitar. He thinks it improves the current chords on Chalkhills, and some voicings may be closer to the original.
September 28
Lee Neuman sent in updated chords for “Ladybird” (but it took me a while to get to them).
September 25
Lee Neuman sent in updated chords for “Respectable Street”.
