Bass Cover Monday with XTC and "Life Begins At The Hop" A catchy and fun pop tune! For my friend and guitarist Harry.
@kimvsparrentak Wetenschappelijk is vastgesteld dat “sociale” media net zo verslavend werken als drugs. We hebben een alcoholverbod tot 18 jaar. Goksites mogen gewoon overal en altijd reclame maken (youtube) Als vaststaat dat een #algoritme #verslaving in de hand werkt moet dat gewoon verboden worden. Sommige politici hebben een grote mond over #cocaine en #xtc maar #tabak #alcohol #gokken en dit soort #algoritmes vindt men prima! Gezondheid alleen belangrijk als het hun uitkomt

Released #OnThisDay!
Bringing back a post from days yonder! I did eventually get into XTC big time and I currently have their entire discography in my collection. This album is eclectic, retro and still a product of its time. The entire album has a '60s psychedelic feel combined with the vibes of the second summer of love of '89. King For A Day and Mayor Of Simpleton are brilliant tracks.
Another chance to enjoy XTC's "Sgt Rock". A singer who knows how to draw us in with his eyes! Quad-screen split video effects! A spectacularly groovy new wave song! With ... er... very questionable lyrics.
Cliff Richard invites us to his pad for "A little in love".
My #tangara is here! Threw a quick few folders of FLAC onto it for testing. Sounds great. I think I might start keeping a parallel collection of MP3 for this thing, so I can fit more. And it looks like I’ll be looking for a good price on a 2TB SD card…
Great piece about #XTC in this months #RecordCollector. One of my very favourite bands who’s various members I have met in my youth (my friends dad managed them for a while) - a new mix of #Skylarking is out !

@anon_opin The old story of bad management and contracts is as old as rock'n'roll. Good music and talent are never enough.
"Due to poor management, #XTC never received a share of profits from record sales (of which there were millions), nor from touring revenue, forcing them into debt throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1993, they went on [a multiyear] strike against Virgin, citing an unfair recording contract"
Andy Partridge diagnosed another reason: "XTC were clever and came from Swindon, so therefore we were crap ... I was always jealous of bands like Talking Heads, who were doing similar things to us but were from New York, and therefore cool. But the English don't like normal people doing intelligent things." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XTC)

#NowPlaying: #XTC - Oranges & Lemons
1989 European issue on 3 mini-CDs.
When I went to put this album in my Discogs wantlist, this special release caught my attention and I knew I wanted it and fast. Three little baby CDs: how cool is that? The album has got a sunny and upbeat vibe and holds some brilliant tracks, like King For a Day and my favourite Scarecrow People. I never really got into XTC properly but I doubt it will take long.
