Some slightly odd opinions from the self-styled Dean of American Rock Critics: Robert Christgau: CG: XTC http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=XTC Go for 2 [Virgin International, 1979] Last time they were calling it white music, this time they've released a dub version, and what can you call that except au courant? Or here's another one. It's Andy Partridge who puts the pop in their art-pop, right?

Message-ID: <1cf7d448ce19e47c2ad48cd92e9fa884@www.facebook.com> i just read michael's post about seeing the band in NYC in 1981, reminded me i was fortunate enough to see them 3 times in liverpool, one of which was on the night after john lennon was murdered, an excellent gig and they played a tribute to lennon at the end, i think it was rain, the beatles song (but, to be honest, im a bit hazy about that). always a great live band! anybody got any touring memories to share?

Sign up there to get access to a free download, as well as early glimpses of news about the album. http://www.ericawexler.co.uk/ Erica Wexler website

That's a song waiting to be written, and I don't mean merely setting it to the tune of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl." Do all of you have XTC's entire oeuvre, save certain oddments like *Explode Together*, in your iTunes library? (Yes, yes, CDs are better than mp3s and vinyl might be better still, but set that issue aside for now.) And have you conscientiously entered the composer's name for every song in said library? Then click on "Composer" and play all of Colin's songs in a row. Then argue he's not entitled to retire. Ryan Anthony An independent Internet content provider

Please vote for them and they could be added to the BBC Radio 6Music playlist. While you're at it... have a listen to their music it's superb. Voting is easy: one click.

It was a social rather than a business visit, so we started chatting about music. Guess what band he quoted among his favourites? He earned a special discount.
