But methinks there is also the XTC cover of the obscure tune, 'Fireball XL5.' http://chalkhills.org/reelbyreal/s_Fireball.html Back to lurking, Krys Olsiewicz

Message-ID: <194012.14131.qm@web25905.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> Alright, the only thing I can think of to make this post XTC-relevant, is that Chris Sharrock played drums for both XTC and World Party (as well as The La's). Yes, September 13, here in my hometown!!!! World Party and Steely Dan on a double bill killer. Me there with bells on!

It's also an anagram for Try Dried Pagan." Wrote Another Steve Using his logic, I reckon Dirty Red Pagan is a slightly better effort. Thanks. Pledge

I get it. We could stop talking about The Beatles, alumni thereof, and Frank Zappa if our own heroes would only, oh, I don't know, release a new song or something. Hurrah to Tyler Hewitt for his anagramic revelations. Yes, "Horn Twit Defilers" (for *Flowers In The Dirt*) is worthy of Beefheart. And "Try Dried Pagan" should be the title of the follow-up to *King For A Day*: an mp3 compilation of Chalkhillian covers of Andy Patridge solo material. I got dibs on "GOOM"! What? Becki DiGregorio and R. Stevie Moore have already agreed to arm-wrestle each other for the privilege of covering "GOOM"? All right then, I will content myself with "The Laugh Track."

Which Fuzzy Warble are you going to cover with your Mr. Microphone, your Casio, and your GarageBand?

That is to say, it's basically the SkyLarking Album (With Dear God on it too) and in between each of the tracks is Andy telling us about the tracks, wrapped either side with the Geffen man introducing and wrapping up. It's one of those old fashioned black 12 inch diameter long playing album jobbies which you can only play by putting it on one of those Record Player TurnTable thingies and sticking some kind of a needle in the groove. Turn the dial up to eleven though, just to be safe. PeckhamRose

P. Hux was alerted to us in advance, since J. D. Mack had earlier written to him to request his version of "Another Satellite", which he trotted out acoustically, by the way, very nicely. But early on in the show P. called us out, as it were: "So I understand there are some XTC people here tonight," perhaps just to find out if we'd really shown up, and then he commented to the crowd, forming a vague cross with his index fingers--a ward against vampires, or... us--that XTC people should have a sign, like the devil's horns (or sign of the cuckold), or maybe a secret handshake, but I think he meant something that others could see easily so they could steer clear of us. So, who wants to think up a secret XTC hand sign/curtsy/silly walk/butt wiggle/avian courtship display? Something by which the XTC-cognizant may know one another so we can form an even more insular society? We *need* this. :^) - Jefferson "Not as clever as Harrison" Ogata -- Jefferson Ogata : Internetworker, Antibozo <ogata@antibozo.net> http://www.antibozo.net/ogata/
