Subject: Adrian Coney or Island Belew?

...and thus, another Great Secret of McDonald's is revealed: McDonald's is
one of the world's largest land owning companies. They will do anything
and everything they can to OWN the land their restaurants sit on, most of
it being in rather prime commercial locations. That land is worth a lot
of cash. They probably made the landlord an offer he couldn't refuse.
ObXTC:
Yeah, I'd like to hear Adrian Belew as a producer of the next XTC album,
except AFAIK he's busy with his own soon-to-be-out solo effort and with
King Crimson for the next year or so. Do we want to wait that long for
more XTC? And, has anyone actually mentioned it to him that him and XTC
would be a good combination?

He'd apparently would really like to work with Andy sometime in the future when his schedule allows. When I mentioned to him Andy's being known as a bit "difficult" to work with, he laughed and said he didn't think he would have that problem with him at all. Problem is Adrian's current King Crimson lineup is touring until early fall all around the globe. Still you never know....

This has probably been pointed out before, but I've noticed that XTC do a
lot of songs about work, economic realities, money, etc.: "Love on a
Farmboy's Wages," "Paper and Iron," "Earn Enough for Us," "Day In Day
Out" (my personal theme song), "Work" and its flipside "Leisure," "The
Meeting Place" ("You're a working girl now..."), "Washaway," one of the
demos that, of course, I haven't actually heard, and probably others that are
slipping my mind right now. I think it's interesting that a band that
chooses to work in a style of music (pop) often associated with being
lightweight and ephemeral can write such gritty and realistic songs about
everyday life. Economics undermine the traditional love song, add fury
and bitterness to social commentary, and generally give the impression
that XTC have *been there*, which they probably have.
Are there other bands that write about work and money on a consistent
basis? My brain is failing me right now.

With Andy yawping occasional backup vocals a la "Making Plans For Nigel." Colin: "Never mind the roadies!" Andy: "Leave them in the van!"
------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Jun 1996 15:32:59 -0400 (EDT) From: "Christopher R.

A hit single on their terms is not outside the realm of possibility though, especially when you consider that the likes of The Goo Goo Dolls and The Red Hot Chili Peppers have had hit singles recently. "Senses Working Overtime" and "Mayor Of Simpleton" both made the top 50, I believe, as did "Dear God"(on the basis of its notoriety and subject matter, I presume). I'm surprised "King For A Day" wasn't a major worldwide hit. Slickest piece of pop they ever did, until they topped it with "The Disappointed." Best Tears For Fears rip I've ever heard, and that's not necessarily a compliment; I'm no great fan of Tears For Fears, nor "KFAD." Maybe that's what the recent Roland and Curt reference refers to- begging Roland and Curt not to go after Colin for plagiarism. If XTC wants a straight old sappy love song to have a hit with, they could dust off "Bleu Disque."

Who cares? I mean, let's welcome anyone who's intelligent and adventurous enough to recognize XTC's music as GOOD, regardless of their age!!! So I'm not even going to state my age - as far as I'm concerned, anyone who listens to XTC, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, etc. is cool. * ------------------------------- DeWitt Henderson CIC-13 Business Info.

Colin's Hermits (a pseudonym everyone should recognize!) have contributed a track to an album called "Without The Beatles". Colin's Hermits contribute a cover of the song "I Am The Walrus". The album also features tracks by Martin Newell, R. Stevie Moore, Louis Philippe, Bevis Frond, and others. The CD has already been released and the vinyl version is due out June 25th. Now the tough part. This can only be purchased, as far as I am aware, directly from Jar Music in Germany. They do have mail order. I suggest everyone act quickly as they are both limited editions. Here is the info you need: Jar Music Mail Order Joachim A. Reinbold Jabel 6 29439 Luchow Germany The price for the CD is $25.50 postpaid, the vinyl version version is $23 postpaid. The vinyl version will include a bonus 7" single with five extra songs on it. Joachim said sending U.S. $ cash in a registered envelope would be okay. I am not affiliated with Jar Music in any way, I just wanted to pass this along.

The names were left out, cuz I'm a lazy dog. >Think about it, >do you hear anything nearly as melodic or creative as XTC on the airwaves >often these days? YEAH - I DO hear things as melodic and creative - just in little bits and pieces. I see a trend (or maybe just a constant under-buzz) lately that indicates that some bands/artists are learning from those who went before them and writing decent material again. For example - consider Self. I bought the CD because of "Canon", and the rest of the record was so-so (especially the unbearably Beck-like "so-low"). But I got a chance to see/hear them at a small venue in my town and was sold - big time. The rest of the stuff works better when the two brothers and the rest of the band are all playing at the same time. And as a band - the material is clever, quirky, eclectic - sound familiar? They're an example of what a producer might've done for a band. And they're like - 12 years old, so they may be on their way to greater things, hopefully. >The drums on Skylarking sound like a heap of old cardboard boxes. No... they sound like the drums on the Utopia album (the 3record one that I can never remember the name of) - or like 50 gallon drums, or tin buckets... To a large extent, I like this treatment, but I figure it was just what Todd was "up to" at the moment and not a result of what these songs needed. With the noted exception of "Man Who Sailed Around His Soul". (there's that song again) >On a related note, IMHO Colin and Tony Levin are the world's greatest >bassists. Here, here - but Levin comes up with cooler sounds that distinguish him as being at the top of the pile. Ok - you can throw your tomatoes at me for rating Colin as #2, but that's the way I see it. Sorry for the long posting - I ramble at times. Dik \:)

The current Squeeze experience mirrors much of what XTC is currently going through. The article also offers some explanations for why Squeeze (and by extension, XTC) don't sell very well -- mostly that they are too English, too literate, and too old. In spite of Blulpsis (did I miss anyone?) having success with the new New Wave of BritPop (see the latest issue of Musician), their ancestors (XTC, Squeeze, Rockpile in its various guises, Graham Parker, and to a lesser extent Elvis Costello) continue to struggle. Read it and weep. Martin

Clearly it must have been incredibly frustrating not just because of this, but also the problems with their ex-manager, Ian Reid, and the years of legal action which led to thousands of wasted pounds. It's quite understandable that they don't want to get their fingers burnt yet again, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that XTC will finally get a deal that earns them the kind of money they truly deserve. Does anyone out there know any more about the problems with Ian Reid which is not mentioned in the Chalkhills and Children Biography? And what about these alleged dishonest things Virgin had done? Any info anyone? Stephen Varga Schlumberger ATE Wimborne Dorset

Maybe it's just because Andy's voice strikes me as sounding a bit like Paul in spots, but I think it would have been a great McCartney song. Maybe Paul should consider collaborating with Andy to help revitalize his songwriting...it almost worked when he collaborated with Elvis Costello!

Who knew Manilow would do so well? (Just kidding) I'd love to hear from more of you; there are apparently some 1,100 people out there who receive these Chalkhills digests each day. I know you all have your favorites and if you're shy you can email privately and I promise not to reveal your secret identity! It would greatly "improve" the results if a lot more people participated. What I mean by "improve" is that I am personally being turned on to more and more new artists with each entry I receive and then becoming curious to check out their music. I think it would be great for all of us if this poll could help to expand all of our musical horizons while at the same time helping the diverse and sprawling XTC fan mass to become more of a group with a common musical taste besides the sound of Swindon. (If I had a copy of 'Ebony and Ivory', it would've been playing throughout this last paragraph). So please be brave and send me your list! I'd love to get at least 50 entries all together before I tally the results. Oh yeah! If you included anyone whom you feel might be obscure to most others, please add some helpful details about who your person is so we can all enjoy them. Thanks a lot! Mitch

I own this book and have often wondered if some of the Dukes' "25 O'Clock" sleeve graphics were eh... 'sourced' from here. I know Andy put this sleeve together using a photo copier and some paste but could anyone confirm he has the aforementioned book? BTW: to my knowledge the first XTC gig took place on Decmber 8 in 1976. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all celebrate 20 years of XTC with a new album release?

Subject: Sorry, Mr. Yazbek A few months back I posted about ordering The Laughing Man and being told I could only get it from Japan. Well, the CD comes in and the store is asking $54.00 CDN. for it! I'm sorry, David, but with that kind of money I'd expect it delivered personally :-) (not to mention having to 'read' Japanese liner notes). I guess we're not only esoteric but rich. Seriously, if anyone out there in Chalkhillia knows where I can pick up the CD for less than the price of bus fare to NYC, please E-mail me: I don't have anything to trade, but would be happy to arrange a money order... On a happier note, the store did order about 12 copies of the BBC Live CD at a reasonable price ($18 CDN). In re. recent musings about 'The First Time I Heard' etc (hard to believe we were all once 'virgins' and I won't use that word again thank you), I think it might make an interesting thread...

Subject: Godly Nonsuch
Hello Chalkies...
I was flipping through the channels the other day, and came
upon a religious "Rock and Roll is Satan" program. Being
always interest in what these people come up with, I kept the
channel there for a while. There were a few quotes from heavy
metal bands I've never heard of that referred to their love for
Satan... yadda yadda.... But then, they played a familiar song -
"Dear God" by XTC (pronounced by them - "Ecstasy", of course).
They played the latter half of the song (to catch the intense
last section of things they love to hear), in VIDEO! Lyrics on
the screen to boot.
So cool... I got to see part of the XTC "Dear God" video.
Also, while I'm here... I just want to state my love for
_Nonsuch_. To me, it's an entirely _beautiful_ album.
("Humble Daisy" is what got me writing this!). "That Wave"
into "Then She Appeared" is one of the brightest colorful
moments of my sonic life. And yes, "Holly Up On Poppy" brings
tears to my eyes (and I only have a niece... not a daughter).
Anyhoo, just wanted to vent my love for that album... and
stuff.... Here's to more beauty to come!
John
