Thanks for the tip... I know I was being sarcastic, but how could I not! Yeah they do sound exactly like XTC. Considering their lack of success (
and the the current trend of ripping off 80's bands) it's hard to tell if it's a good idea. I will check up at the radio station and see if the
comp is in the racks. Otherwise, I'll put them on my things to buy list.
