As I stated a long while back, I have my own developing theory that Andy Partridge is somehow otherwise affiliated with the Residents, perhaps even one of them. Just listen to his vocals on "25 O'Clock" from the Dukes to see what I mean. The Colonel

I saw the Residents live for the first time in Chicago a few months back. It was an amazing show (even though I still don't know who they REALLY are). I've even posted a review of it at http://livejournal.com/users/sevenzarkseven ... You'll have to scroll down a bit to get to it though. The Colonel

I only know of one track..even the name of that escapes me.... what else is there The track in question is Margaret Freeman, it appears on The Residents Commercial Album (ESD 80202) and Andy (as Sandy Sandwich) provides the vocals. Oh, and it's quite wonderful! Darryl W. Bullock drol@btinternet.com

Message-ID: <43C455D2DB24FB45A15FEA288FFDF9A95C17D3@usintex04jfk.amer.umusic.net> I wasn't truly enchanted with Fuzzy Warbles 1 & 2 so am selling them to the first bidder. #10.21 each is what I paid and what I will offer you (I will give a U.S. dollar price based on the current rate, once you've contacted me). And yes, they CDs are autographed by Andy. Free shipping in U.S. - outside U.S. I will give you a quote. Also not too crazy about the new Becki Gregorio CD - and am willing to offer that for the price I paid ($13). Shipping same as above. PayPal would be best! Thanks. Suzanne (NYC)

Message-ID: <20030326164512.37689.qmail@web40401.mail.yahoo.com> Hi all! I'm new to the list, thanks to my husband, who's recently turned me on to XTC. I can't get enough! :) I have a question that I hope someone can answer. A week or so ago, I snagged an XTC video collection (not pre-recorded, but put together by the seller) on Ebay. It's great! But I'd like to know whether there is any kind of commercially-made XTC video collection available. I've looked on Amazon.com and a few other sites, to no avail. I understand they're rare as hen's teeth! Does anyone have any suggestions? FYI ... I'm in the US and, if there is a video available, it would have to be in the US VCR format. Many thanks!

As most of you know, Over the last 4 months I have been booking a tour for Shriekback front man, Barry Andrews, in both his early solo piano incarnation and his late night electronic act Stic-Basin.... Well... Boys will be boys and while climbing a tree, he had a bit of a spill.... Enclosed is a picture of Barry's dislocated shoulder that as he put it "hurts like fuck" The tour is postponed to an unknown time frame (perhaps summer??) while our boy Barry is on the mend. I am still a bit stunned that I am cancelling this....And that he was in a tree in the first place.... Sorry for the hassle you all but you know how these things can be.... Feel free to call me and yell or send Barry a get well email to: stic_resource@hotmail.com ... Here is his heartfelt letter that he sent to me... Hi Erik -disastrous fucking news. This afternoon I foolishly fell out of a tree (don 't ask) and badly dislocated my (left) shoulder. I was dazed and in a lot of pain and spent the afternoon in hospital. I'm unsure when I'll be able to play properly again- certainly at the moment it hurts like fuck to assume the piano-playing position. So, regretfully, I'm going to have to pull the tour. Fuck. I'm really sorry Erik, not least because I can see how much work you' ve put into it. (If it helps to soothe promoters I enclose X-ray shot) WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE WHOLE THING INTO MAY? I'm sure it's not as simple as that but I still badly want to do these shows and I hope you're still able to be involved. Let me know. God this is shite. barry

Message-ID: <OFF99A75B1.3F3763FF-ON86256CF6.001A47BE@prominic.com> radio sucks in America (don't want to talk about the war here, please let it end soon), long live college radio. Spring of 1982, six months into an eight year "career" in college radio (hey - it paid the bills, oops, nope, it didn't pay diddly) I held the puny American single disc of "English Settlement" in my hands. My first listen to XTC. Wow. I did listen to Bowie and Tull (and Horslips! ) in high school. Is there a connection? Dinna ken. I also liked listening to freaking Toto in high school. Go figure. I almost picked up "Black Sea" in high school because the cover reminded me of 10cc's "Deceptive Bends". Ah, youth . . . btw - thanks to whomever posted the link to the photo of Dave's Rickenbackers awhile back. When I saw his 12 string I thought, wow, that looks a lot like mine. Tracked down the serial number and wouldn't you know it, they're both 1976 12 string Rik's. Pretty cool. cheers.kah kevin a. hiscock www.hidebound.com home of The Monster

There's a very informative recent article on The Residents in the local experimental music mag Signal To Noise. They have a website, signaltonoise.com, I believe(If I'm wrong a search on Signal To Noise should bring it up), you can subscribe, though in its hometown(their office happens to be next door to mine) it's distributed free. Want to move to Burlington, VT? :-)

Likewise, if any contributors have had a change of contact information since submitting your song, please contact me. Sorry for the extremely late notice but I just realized, when adding the credits from the CC series, that I had offered up contact information for the more recent contributors. I should have ordering information listed in the next Chakhills. Cheers, Richard

My baby daughter and I were enjoying a relaxing morning with Skylarking on. Just the sound of those crickets at the beginning is relaxing, and hearing them in nature is all the more satisfying since this album came into my life. We were in a good mood, enjoying life. Somewhere in the middle of the album I went to the yard to care for our pet rabbit. Sadly, I found he had died in the night. By the time I had dealt with the family sadness and the burial, I returned to the house in time for the last two brilliant songs. How fitting. Did any album ever end more appropriately? I know it was just a rabbit, but he meant a lot to my family. The cycles of life will get us all eventually, but it's good to have a bit of XTC in the mornings while we are still around. Jim
