The XTC content will be "Towers of London", played as loudly as possible. My current list also includes Spectrum's "I'll Be Gone" (Aussie 70s classic), some Zappa -- probably either "Zoot Allures" or "Sofa" and as the coffin goes down, I've given orders that I'm to be played out with The Tubes' "What Do You Want From Life".

I thought the first email had simply disappeared into the ether, alas... Good news is, I was able to get the concert downloaded, thanks to the help of Rich MacDonald, and it was worth the effort! You do have to sign up to do so, and it will tell you it's full, but they clear the decks every ten minutes, or so they say. I was able to sign up after a mere 579 tries! Worth it though! Quite a few concerts of our boys and other talked- about acts on this list... xo, d2

As for Simon's kind suggestion that I drum on any such song, I've already told Andy that, if he ever tours again, I'd cut his balls off if he uses a drummer besides me. So I'm covered there, too. He's so scared, he's told me he'll never tour again. -Todd Who breaks the thread, the one who pulls, the one who holds on? -James Richardson, poet, professor (b. 1950)

And if you're ever in Barre, VT, his sister Ariel owns a restaurant there. It's a free-thinking kind of place that tries to use local produce whenever possible, her mom lives in Barre too, she actually moved there with the kids when she and Warren split up. She and Warren actually met for the first time in Waitsfield, VT, where Warren was playing in a cover band that had an extended residency in a club up there, she was in the audience, they got talking after the show, the rest is history.

If you want to know why this song reminds Andy of "Fixing a Hole," or how Zippy Zither has "earned his corn," check out the XTCfans blog site at http://blog.myspace.com/xtcfans. Little did I know that on a rainy day All the little wishes I had put away Would bring you... -Todd

(As you might remember, John also produced the Mandy Moore album on which she covered "Senses Working Overtime" and much of Glen Phillips's "Winter Pays For Summer.") How long until we hear the Jonas Brothers covering "The Mayor(s) of Simpleton"? -Ben
