As someone who owned an ISP for 5 years and worked with web designers to put hundreds of websites on line, I can honestly say that the TVT site is one of the worst I've ever seen. Having read about the bonus XTC CD being available at the website, I decided to give it a try. The first egregious mistake they make is requiring that Javascript be turned on. They don't give any indication of this, but you can't get past the first page without it, since there's stuff to detect your browser there, and it won't let you manually choose a path. (For the record, Iturn off JAvascript because it's the mechanism used by websites to "hijack" your browser. You know the feeling: you go to a seemingly innocuous website, and all of a sudden you have multiple browser windows opening up with porno ads in them. You try to kill them as fast as they pop up, but there are a *lot* of them. Eventually you manage to kill them all, or your browser crashes, and some idiot out there has made another 25 cents off his referrals. It's all done with Javascript.) OK, fine. I'll turn on Javascript. Back to the site... CRASH! What??? I've seen this before... yep. Going back to the page with Javascript disabled and looking at the page source shows that the script is looking for the MacroMedia Flash plugin. This sort of search has crashed my browser before. Grrrrr.... Let me tell you something, TVT - I CAN'T get the Flash plugin! At work I use an HP workstation running Unix. My home machine is an old Sun which also runs Unix. Neither of these platforms can run Flash, because Macromedia doesn't have a version for these machines. A well-designed website will not assume it's going to be read by a fully-tweaked Windows PC (or even a Mac). A good friend of mine is blind and uses Lynx, the text-based web browser and a mechanical reader. Your site breaks for that as well. If you had any clue as to how to do this, you'd have a way on that top page for those of us not in lockstep with Bill Gates to click our way into a version of the page that doesn't need the bells and whistles. (Let's face it, Flash is nothing BUT bells and whistles - I've never seen a Flash animation/applet that added any real content to a website.) I *really* want to see what this bonus disk is about, so I'm going to take a walk over to the other building and see if I can find a PC with Flash on it JUST SO I CAN GET PAST THE FIRST PAGE. I can't believe that TVT is arrogant enough to have made a deliberate decision to exclude people from the website - it must be ignorance on the part of the web developer on how to best make a site that can be made with the widest variety of browsers possible. I've seen dozens of people do this - they get some sort of wepage development program, go into business as a website developer, and cheese off the clients when people have problems getting into the site. As an aside, to add insult to injury, the Javascript on the top page is wrong. The source shows that it's clearly looking for the Flash plugin, but the error message that is displayed if the search fails is "Your browser does not support frames. Please download a current version of Netscape Navigator and try visiting our site again. Thank You." I can just picture some poor user downloading the newest Netscape over a modem, which takes hours, and firing it up only to find that they STILL can't get into the TVT site because the real problem is they don't have Flash! Whether this falls on deaf ears or whether TVT actually hires someone who knows what they're doing may never be known. I hope that someone, ANYONE, reading this who wants to design websites or hire someone to make them a site gives a bit of thought to the wide variety of computers and browsers out there and doesn't do something as idiotic as TVT.

If it was....ex(t)cuse me! Forgive me, I don't know who said: << I'm afraid I have to admit that I am possibly the only ELP and XTC fan on >this website. >> Not true, Tarkus breath! In my 'young and innocent days', before discovering The Kinks, ELP was my favorite band. I argued, through many a YES song being played on the radio, that Keith Emerson blows Rick Wakeman away. And, "nobody drums better than Carl Palmer" or "Greg Lake has the greatest voice in the world" were also grapplings of mine, defining my nobody-can-tell-me-different adolescent place in this world. Naturally, this was before Midge Ure, Bryan Ferry and Elvis Costello quenched my ear's thirst, male side. But I digress. John Relph, have a great vacation!

It was as hot as an oven in there. Great to hear the XTC soundtrack in a public environment, but the ballet didn't thrill me.

We've barely scratched the surface here. There are, of course, the obviously contrived novelty efforts (I pray that one day I will forget the existence of the St. Winifred's School Choir). I shall sadistically remind you that both Stars On 45 and Jive Bunny once commanded the hearts and minds (not to mention the pocket money) of Britain's youth. But on to "real" bands. The Seventies provide rich pickings. I shall name but a few: Wizard, Slade, Mud, Pilot, Sweet, Showaddywaddy. All guilty of crimes against humanity. And music. And fashion. And taste. And common decency. And taking food from the mouths of more deserving artists. But my winners, by a very long way, are undoubtedly those toothsome purveyors of "Girl Power" I refer, of course, to Spice Girls. Can anyone think of a worse band than that?

------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 13:12:14 -0700 From: Ed Kedzierski <ed.kedzierski@blvdmedia.com> Subject: Good, Bad, Ugly Message-ID: <08B5DDC2BABCD311BFC6005004A884B013B6FB@mgcservices.com> With all this talk about "worst bands" and the people defending ELP, my response makes me feel old... Basically, I'm finding that I feel a lot more patience and sympathy for the scorned bands of my youth (whether prog, butt-rock, 70s cheese-pop, whatever) than for the current crop of music industry McTunes (whether boybands, offensively fake psuedo-alternative whiners, caterwauling "divas", whatever). Maybe it's just the sheer distance in years that I've gained from my younger dislikes, and the fact that current hates are more "hot off the grill", so to speak. Maybe it's the fact that even the most calculatingly commercial piece of product from past eras is retroactively rendered more naive sounding, and hence somehow less offensive, by the less advanced technology it was recorded on. My own non-enjoyment of prog, for instance, stemmed mainly from a low tolerance for high-pitched vocals (especially Anderson) and no patience at all for jams (also a bone of contention with my deadhead friends years later), but I've had a lot of friends over the years who were into this stuff, and certainly never considered their music a threat to what I was into (though being lectured to by someone with no respect for anything but prog can get very tiresome very fast). In any case, I'd choose a beer with someone into ELP (whose stuff I don't even know, quite honestly) than with someone into Shitbox 20 (my absolute number one despised/loathed/hated band just now) any day of the week (at least with the former I could have a reasonable debate on what we disagree over, where with the latter it would degenerate into "fuck you!" "no, fuck you!" pretty quickly). And "those who were once at least tolerable but have sunk lower than could ever have been imagined" have released some of the worst music of their entire careers in recent years, especially Clapton and Rod Stewart (who should be banned from recording ever again just because of "Forever Young"; this song makes "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" look like a high point...) To the person who listed "Wild Life" as McCartney's worst: well, true enough, it's pretty dire, but try playing "Bip Bop" to some poor bastard, watch the look on their face, and then try to tell me that there's no enjoyment to be had from this album... (a tad sadistic, perhaps, but hey...) Laying myself wide-open by admitting that I'm one of the few people on Earth with a bit of a weakness for John & Yoko's "Sometime in NYC"... Ed K.

Message-ID: <20000627215955.5021.qmail@hotmail.com> Greetings Folks, In the past many Chalkhilliers have commented on how well AP would go if he wrote childrens songs (shame about 'Peach'). Well now, in 6/173 Cristophe Carl (write spelling ? ;) has been the latest to comment that his progeny, in this case his 8yo daughter, really likes 'Stupidly Happy'. I have noticed this with my own 4yo son, SH is a track that kid's seem to love. Perhaps TVT should pitch XTC to a market segment that has no preconceptions about what music should be, except tuneful and fun. Andrew Gowans (I have a 2yo and a 4yo..does that make me a Yo Yo ?)

Even I, with my vast vocabulary, have learned a new word here & there. (Thanks for the "spunkbubbles", Simon. <g>) In re: not critiquing XTC's music unless one is a bona-fide musician: Many of the folks on this list *are* musicians, and *have* put their stuff out "there" for their fellow musicians' approbation/opprobrium. XTC's music, after all, attracts musicians. As well it should. In re: "obligatory XTC": It's sort of an inside joke that this list does *not* *require* members to put an "on-topic" item in their posts. Some of us do that "ob-XTC" anyway; nudge-wink. We're basically a self-policing free-for-all, with our dear JR stepping in rarely.

Subject: Andy On The list? New Single Is Stupidly Happy!
Message-ID: <20000629002703.11031.qmail@web1106.mail.yahoo.com>
Yowza Yowza Yowza Chalkhillians.....I have been
searching the VH1 and TV GUIDE On Line for the
schedules on when our Andy in on the list- Can't find
it yet. Those in the know of the title or theme of
"The List" or anyone who knows when this show is to
air, please announce it here big and bad! I just hope
this doesn't end up ill fated like the Space Ghost
thing. By the way, is Geeks and Freaks no longer on
the air? I wanted to capture that episode "No
Language From Our Lungs" was featured in- no summer
re-runs for this show? And finally, according to
Gavin ("The Most Trusted Name In Radio" industry mag),
STUPIDLY HAPPY is the next single from WASP STAR-to be
sent to stations July 18. AND WHOA!!!!! Just
discovering this as I write.....also from Gavin:
"Next up at Hot and Modern A/C(could mean Top 40
breakthrough) is XTC's I'm The Man Who Murdered Love"
on July 11. Currently, it's doing extremely well at
A3(adult alternative in other words). This song has a
hook that screams summer. Just drive around with your
windows down and listen to this song...it's
infectious, and very easy to sing-along to." So
everybody go nuts, call your stations now for
it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Travis.

Well, what did you expect? It wouldn't have been any different if Rolling Stone or any other self important industry rag would have done it. I've been decrying the media's treatment of XTC nearly 20 years now. Some of the reviews and bios I see now seem to rehash the same 'brilliant but quirky' crap as they did then while they politely brush them under the rug. YOU know better. I know better. ALL of us here know, objectively as well as subjectively that XTC have produced unparalleled music and influenced music in major ways enough to warrant a place on any list of the greats. The truth, I believe, is they dis XTC because they won't play ball. So, so, so sad. May history be kinder. I direct your attention to the Shaming of the True by Kevin Gilbert to get a sense of WHO is making these decisions. On the worst band thread -- (In my best Mick Jagger crowd control at Altamont voice) -Payple! Payple! Playse, Payple! We should all know by now that the worst band in the world was the Shaggs! And they were as serious as an Ed Wood flick! And if you're going to attack ELP (who I'm not crazy about, but truly respect), why don't we tar and feather the great prog pretenders Triumvirat and Carbon Castle (I meant Star Copy; or was it Star Castle)??? And thank you for laying off the Monkees! A warm greeting to Alyssa! Welcome aboard! You folks be kind to her, OK? I know how some of you can get! Also a hearty welcome to Matt Kulak, who observes; >To whomever suggested the term "smorgasbord" in referring to XTC's >complete works: great observation!!!! I've liked every release from >White Music to AV2. I don't know who suggested it either, but I love the idea. And I completely agree, which is why I stay out of the best album fracas. I would like to suggest a thread idea. I think that XTC's songs can be grouped together, like different h'orderves at a smorgasbord or a party. It seems to me that Andy's songs, for example, come in types. Peter Pumpkinhead, ITMWML, Senses Working Overtime, Mayor, The Loving and such seem to belong on the same serving tray, if you get my drift. On the difficult listening plate we could have Complicated Game, Travels in Nihilon, Train Running Low on Soul Coal, etc. Scarecrow People, Poor Skeleton Steps Out, Shake You Donkey Up, Snowman on another, and so on. Of course do the same with Colin's. I'm just going to throw it out there and let you clever madpeople do the rest, or completely ignore the idea, which it may deserve. Any takers? As for this musical "debate" - Some folks like them, some don't. I grew up with them as an influence, and I have my favorites. Some as total works, such as West Side Story, some just for the music, like Carousel. I have played in them and for them, most recently subbing for the regular guitarist in a local and well done production of 'The Little Shop Of Horrors'. My favorite ones that I have played are (get ready to gag) Godspell and The Man Of La Mancha. I was fortunate to learn to appreciate them before we all got so damn jaded as to give views like Dunk's. Some do their job, they make me feel good or otherwise move me on some level. I figure that's what any art is supposed to do, so I appreciate the musical form. I feel that the point of the songs in the narrative is that a song will capture a feeling or a sentiment differently than straight dialogue would do at times. Why else do we listen to songs? Doesn't XTC do this???? So, maybe it seems silly to some folks, but it works for others, including myself. Besides, if listening to musicals influences XTC to write and produce stuff like I Can't Own Her or Easter Theater, then why bash them? They have their place. By the way, American Musicals have their roots in British musical theater, which represents a long line of European musical influences that go WAY back. So don't make the mistake that it's an American innovation. Also, a VERY special thanks to Joe Funk and Chris Vreeland. You guys know why!!!!!! If any of you have not heard The Shaming of the True by Kevin Gilbert, make it your very next purchase. How good is it? I haven't listened to Wasp Star for 10 days!!!!!!!! (Don't worry, I'll get back to it!) Knock knock! Who's there? Abyssinia. Abyssinia who? Abyssinia in all the old familiar places!
