That was something I was trying to express. Cynicism, for me at least, is a vital tool to survival in the modern world, and maybe it always has been. Taking everything at face value is a dangerous practice; I suppose "cynical" can be a criticism - as anything can - if it's an attribute one feels particularly averse to; the same way that the epithet "liberal" can be an much an insult as it can a thing of pride depending on the stance of the individual. I didn't retract the word "cynical" because I wanted to disown the notion of cynicism as a useful process, but because I felt it was not fully applicable to the song in question, and I'd made an error in applying it. The song isn't so much cynical as sarcastic, I feel. And Hail Mitch! for the news update. The master tapes and all add yet another intrigue to the career of XTC, which seems to resemble more and more some Jacobean court scandal. How much ill fortune and trial can one band be expected to bear? It makes we want to spit, it really does. From: Peter Fitzpatrick <peterfit@MICROSOFT.com> >>What smell comes to mind during an XTC song ? >>"Summer's Cauldron"...... In 1986 I was totally, completely, utterly and unrequitedly in love with a girl called Lesley Summers. Thus "Summer's Cauldron" conjured all _kinds_ of squalid imagery in my puerile mind. I was listening to Skylarking recently and, possibly as a result of oxygen deprivation, I was suddenly struck by the melodic similarity between "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" and the theme song from the woefully-dubbed 70s Euro-swashbuckler "The Flashing Blade", erstwhile stalwart of the UK summer holiday TV schedules. This link has stuck now, and I can't listen to the track without recalling the preponderance of plastic sword/best mate's eye incidents that characterised those days (not quite as dangerous an influence as Ernie Devlin, but it did start a worrying trend for capes made out of curtains in our area). "You've got to fight for what you want, for all that you believe..." Oh, and major congrats to Cheryl for her Masters Degree. Well done, my friend. And best of 98 for you all.

Slightly off topic post, but I figured this to be the best place to get the information that I am looking for. I d/l'd the Brian Stevens mp2 selections a few months ago and finally decided to buy the album. After casually checking around everywhere I knew of that sold CD's, I realized I would have to order it. So I put i nmy request at borders, and (after a break-neck 5 weeks) they finally told me that they couldnt find anywhere that had it. So I tried CDnow and cduniverse and cdeurope and cdeverything and siren recrds, etc. None of them evenhad Brian stevens in the database. They weren't sold out or no stoick...they had no record of they Guy. SO now I'm at a lose. But the whole ordeal has made me ven more dedicated to get "prettier than You". so I am enlisting the help of anyone who will offer. Tell me where to go or who p call or even get it yourself and make me send you shipping mney and cost and a tip oir whatever! I want it! so long.... kevin

To respond to Phil Hetherington's request/suggestion of Dave pressing up more of his CDs and making them available through Chalkhills, I would seriously doubt that this is going to happen any time soon. Dave originally sent me a tape of his covers earlier this year and after listening to them and suggesting to him that the people of Chalkhills would eat the stuff up, he replied that he was very nervous about making any of his covers available for legal reasons, i.e. he did not get permission from any of the original artists to do the covers in the first place and the last thing he wants to happen is for someone to find out that money is being exchanged and someone in XTC is involved in something that may be illegal. He's also a bit shy about sharing his very personal home recordings which feature his singing voice (though I sure think he sings pretty well but he doesn't). All of this now said, I was extremely surprised that he then went and pressed up 30 copies and actually sent them to some people so shortly after he nixed the whole idea of going public with his hobby. Even Andy hadn't heard more than 4 or 5 of Dave's recordings. So I guess there is some hope for this stuff to become available one day but don't count on it.

(Is that how we spell it?) Julie and I hosted Ben Gott this weekend and attempted to show him a good time in NYC...the Yazbek show was great (and Ben's roadie impression was fantastic!). The Chinese food was OK -- I mean, mine was OK, but I stayed away from anything with the word STOMACH or INTESTINE on the menu. It was great to see Yazbek, Chris Van Valen and Jackie and Tim Kendrick again, and it was great to FINALLY meet Mitch Friedman...it was like the Chalkhills get-together we were talking about, but never had in 1997. :) Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures. :( Oh well. There's another Yazbek show in a couple of weeks. We'll try to make it there too. l8r... -ira

Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) But I'll get to that in a minute. In the meantime, drumroll please.... RESPONSES!!! Matt Keeley-Why didn't you get a copy of Remoulds? Don't worry, you'll get one. Just change your gender and obsess after Dave Gregory , and BAM! It's bound to show up on your doorstep!!! Phil-As far as I know, there will be no bootlegs of Remoulds floating around. Although I've gotten several requests for copies of the cd, out of respect for Dave and his work, I can't copy anything. I'm not sure how anyone else who has the cd feels about that, but I won't do it. As far as more copies being pressed, well that's all up to Dave. Ben-:P :) Peter-Smells? Interesting idea. (See how antsy we're getting, people???) Lessee...what smells come to mind when I hear XTC ongs. Well, Love on a Farmboy's Wages always brought to mind hay, chicken feed and cow crap. The illustrious Mitch-Like I said, Gregsy should know better than to drink so much. But I'm not his mother, he wants to screw his blood sugar up, he can go right ahead. And tis all for now! -LCP XTC song of the day-Rook non XTC song-The Mummer's Dance-Loreena McKennitt semi-sort of XTC song-And How Am I To Know?-Dave Gregory PS-Anybody know who the original artist who did that song is? It's an incredible song.

Happy New Year Everyone! >What smell comes to mind during an XTC song ? >think of >"Summer Cauldron"...... >"Life Begins at the Hop"..... >"Big Day"... "Summer Cauldron" - Whenever I hear this song it takes me to a morning when I was driving to work. It was spring/summer and it was slightly chilly still, but it smelled of dew and fresh air. I can almost smell the air and feel the wind on me as if I were on my way to work again. *sigh* One of my few good memories of New Mexico. "Black Sea" - It's a shame, but whenever I listen to this CD, it's like I'm sick allllllll over again. I remember I had to leave work because I was just so ill and as I was passing the local CD shop I couldn't resist stopping to buy this CD. I took it home and listened to it while in a state of delirium and now associate this album with being sick.... "Life Begins at the Hop" - This doesn't have a particular 'smell' to it but if I were to conjure up a smell it would probably be of sweat. Dancing like a manic with my friends was a typical hobby of mine as a teen. Yea... *lots* of sweat. >So Chris Difford is withholding the master tapes >that were done at his studio until he gets >his money and in the meantime XTC will just > have to hope he will return them before they >finish recording whatever new stuff they are > working on at Chipping Norton.

So now I'm considering a sex change ;) BTW: Dave wasn't merely "a good replacement" of course His arrival had a big impact on their sound and style - much bigger than Terry leaving them in '83. As Bill said in the last issue: > what I should have said was that on the first few albums XTC were > too spastic, jerky, etc. to hold my interest over an entire album. This is exactly how I reacted to my first exposure to XTC way back in 1978 and IMHO much of this jerkiness came from Barry's "clapped-out organ" (Arf arf!) Whip out your copies of Drums And Wires and listen to those finely interwoven, delicate guitar licks again and again; preferably through headphones. Or listen to the Battery Brides live Bside and compare it to the album version. XTC as we know & love it did not start properly until Dave joined and I really feel he should be considered a founding member. > your AP autographed copy of Nonsvch is sitting > at Amoeba records on Haight St., for something like $5.99 Could somebody please get it for this 'rabid collector' (hi, Dewitt) yours in ecstasy, Mark Strijbos at The Little Lighthouse the XTC website @ http://come.to/xtc and http://www.knoware.nl/users/mmello

I don't know what the musical allusions are, but Irvine has done this a couple of times before (knowing that I'll be the only one in the audience who's likely to spot it). One show he did for the Traverse featured a section heavily influenced by one of the tracks on Go+, for example.

Tapes and CDs were mailed today! Tapes and CDs were mailed today! Tapes and CDs were mailed today! The US purchasers should get theirs by Saturday, foreign purchasers within two weeks (sorry, that's the best the post office can do affordably). I'll likely be off to attend my father's funeral next week, so if there is any reason that you'd like to contact me, email me but don't expect a response until the week of January 26. (To the person who publicly posted their derision about shipment delays... I'll mail yours when I get back. ...just kidding, but learn some tact.) There are still plenty of CC96 left (maybe 40?) and LOTS of CC97 left. Remember, if you order both, it lowers the cost per tape so low that even students can afford them. To Contributors: You are receiving a CD in place of one tape. If you only ordered one tape, in addition to the CD you were sent a cassette J-card so that you can make some cassette copies with proper labelling. Thanks for all the well-wishes! I hope you enjoy the music. Richard

Greetings C'hillers,
Where did everybody go!!!!? Where are the Digests?
These are 2 sites I came across that I'd like to share...........
For the South Park fans:
<< http://www.script-o-rama.com/tv/southpark.htm >>
This page has 10 downloadable episodes. One, Spirit of Christmas, was never
aired due to profanity. It pits Jesus vs Santa Claus in a knock-down drag-out
brawl. From this page, you can link to other "transcripted" episodes and also
read about upcoming ones.
For XTC fans:
<< http://www.heathenworld.com/bandname/balist.html >>
This page has a listing of how bands got their names. Would you believe they
have XTC listed as "taken from a brand of condoms"!? What "scumbag" came up
with that!? Jimmy Durante would say, "KINK-a-KINK-a-doo" to that fool!
Hope to XTC from you all, soon!
Paul

I received Chalkhills Children 97 yesterday. Wow. First of all, a hearty round of applause please for Peter Fitzpatrick and Richard Pedretti-Allen, our illustrious producers/engineers and artist Harrison Sherwood. They have done a FANTASTIC job with every aspect of the project from the cover to the credits to the crystal clear mastering. (Insert applause here) And, to the contributors... thanks for some really amazing music. Thank you all for the aural delight that is Chalkhills Children 97. Ed Miller PS - I only listened to the tape about 5 or 6 times last night, so I'm not ready to comment on any of the material except for Peter Pumpkinhead. I kind of overdid the bass in the mix, so turn your subwoofers DOWN!!!! :-)

Subject: Cool Pics
Mark Garland was generous enough to send in scans of a number of
photographs that he had taken at the January 1980 XTC show at Gaston
Hall, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. He also sent in a scan
of a set list from the 1981 XTC show at The Bayou in D.C. These are
very nice photographs, in my opinion, so make sure to check out the
new Art Gallery pages on the Chalkhills website.
Many thanks to Mark!
