There was a live album (Thrang Thrang Gozenblux--
don't bet on that spelling, I don't have it in front
of me) and a download on Fripp's website (dgmlive.com)
of another live show.

I never knew that there was a video for the song "Spirit of the Forest"
which features our lads from Swindon.  But there was!  Too bad the song is
... not my favorite, let's say.

I may have missed posts on the subject before, but who else has theirs?
Mine just arrived tonight and I am in 45 heaven. I will indeed be sad
when the CD goes away but as long as I can get an occasional vinyl fix I
think I will be OK.

The band TAPES N' TAPES (cute funky young guys) programmed RAGE,
ABC-TV Australia tonight.  They chose "Making Plans For Nigel", among
other things.  Now, what a strange clip this is.  Quite disturbing in
it own way.  Terry looks great of course...

Maybe Todd B could explore these videos with Andy as part of his
excellent series?

Thanks
Paul

Hi:

Over at the XTCfans MySpace site(http://www.myspace.com/xtcfans), the
song of the week is "Little Lighthouse."

If you want to know who has the "skin of rubber marble," and which
bespectacled, earnest guitarist Andy had in mind when coming up with
the guitar intro, check out the XTCfans blog site at
http://blog.myspace.com/xtcfans.

And can others see this splendid beam?
Or do they navigate in dark?

Hi Chalkhillians,

I just want to take a moment to publicly thank /Todd Bernhardt
<http://www.myspace.com/toddbernhardt> /for the
outstanding Andy interviews on myspace.  Todd seems to be delving
deeper into Andy's songwriting psyche with each interview.  The current
Little Lighthouse interview is fascinating and definitely sheds new light
(sorry, couldn't resist) on the song!

Cheers,

Steve
