I got a couple suggestions on Chalkhills and also some via email. I finally decided what video to use. Thanks for the help to those who made suggestions. If you are curious, check my blog and scroll down a bit to see what XTC video I used: http://www.stevenology.com Hey, maybe even leave me a comment? Thanks! In XTC we trust...

Nextly, I'm hoping Becki DiGregario is out there (or a friend): BEcki, I've lost both your mailing and email addresses... Please get in touch, would you? Thanx, device

Message-ID: <D2706858-5476-4B08-856D-3677D880ACF2@telia.com> Just a short notice to Simon Deane. The humorous ending of "Up On Hi" is not Andy. It's actually Jen Olive with a slow downed voice. And yes, it is a great song from the download EP "Trick Picture". The new EP "Hard Listening" is also superb and kicks of with "My Dream Sea" which also features Jen Olive. Second song "Running With The Mothmen" is Barry Andrews running wild... Have a great 2010, everyone! Cheers, Per Aronsson.

Can you spare a moment to compose something? Sure, the most interesting thing that I have come across in the 2000 decade are Mashup songs, and XTC has a few rhythm sections being used by Mark Vidler. Making Plans For Vinyl (Tweet vs XTC)was particularly satisfying when turning friends on to XTC who were already impressed by such songs. Here's to Twenty Ten!
