I picked "Fixing A Hole". He wanted to know what kind of arrangement it
should have. Knowing that he was a huge XTC fan I told him to re-imagine the
thing as an Andy Partridge tome circa "Drums & Wires".
I think he did a magnificint job. Jef performed all the instruments except
guitar (wich was Brian Gagnon) and I sang. A nifty little homage to XTC as a
trio....and NOT the Beatles, as it were. And that's why the track is
credited to.....HELIUM KIDS [you XTC fans will know what this means].
I've always considered "Fixing a Hole" to be one of the most egregious
examples of McCartney tripe that was waxed while he was still in the company
of Messrs. Lennon, Harrison, and Starkey. But I have to say, Jamie, that
your covering it in a Chambers-era XTC vein is really intriguing ...
intriguing enough to make me want to hear it.
A forkful of Partridge helps the tripe go down, I guess.
