Does anyone know what's going on with XTC? They've always been one of my
faves. Is there a new release in the works? Does XTC even exist anymore or
is are they now whittled down to just Andy P, puttering around the Shire and
releasing his old demos?
Speaking of, has anyone ever noticed their fixation with birds/air
travel/etc? I was listening to some of their albums recently... Alex, I'll
take "XTC Song Titles Related to Flight", for five hundred:
Bought Myself A Liarbird
My Bird Performs
Ladybird
Me and The Wind
Fly on the Wall
Rocket From A Bottle
The Last Balloon
Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her
Rook
Helicopter
Of course, there are several other recurring themes:
Weather/the elements
War
Pastoral/farm
Kind of like Springsteen and cars...
