Having written such films as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary, Richard Curtis finally took the leap to directing with the charming 2003 Brit hit Love Actually. His followup, Pirate Radio, finally hits US shores this weekend, and it's of particular interest to us given the film's musical interest. Featuring a group of radio DJs serving up rebellious rock an...

It's Easter Monday - or whatever you wanna call the day after Easter Sunday. In any event, I have no meetings, assignments, or social events on the calendar for today. I am, instead, using the day to depressurize after too much Easter candy.(I did manage to keep the Peeps - those fiendish little marshmallow chicks - to a minimum. But the chocolate eggs and bunny rabbits were a bit of a problem....

From 1978 to 1980, Andy Partridge of XTC took the tapes from their latest "Drums and Wires" recording back to the studio and used them as his own personal dub source. The results? "Explode Together"s compilation of those dub experiments. Fans of the typical guitar driven posh pop XTC sounds ought be careful here. This set really strips the sound down and builds brand new layers of rhythm from t...

sometimes you just do. I know it's not intentional, it's not something that you mean to do.It's your turn of phrase when you comment. It's the quirky things you say. It's your wit, dry and interesting.Thanks for that...

Procrastinating this afternoon before I get cracking on my thesis project, I was stumbling through my Tunes and found the Tricky cover of XTC's Dear God, a song released as a bonus track on 1986's groundbreaking album Skylarking and as a controversial single. The song, a dystheistic attack on the creator himself, herself, itself, or themselves, depending upon how some of you might feel about it...

Dear God" is a song on XTC's 1986 Album Skylarking, controversial because of its anti-God sentiment which might be interpreted as either dystheism or atheism. In the UK, when the song was originally released as a single many record shops refused to stock the track, fearing a religious backlash.It was not a part of the original Skylarking album, but after DJs across America picked up the song, G...

What is more annoying, artists who talk about politics on their records or artists who talk about god? I really can't stand either, but I will have to side with the political statements on this one. Nothing turns me off faster than hearing a band, liking the sound, then finding out they are in the spiritual section of the record store. I am not sure why this is, and I was wondering if people ha...

I've been out of the loop (if I, in fact, have ever been in it), so I'm doing a bit of catching up... promised Annie some delicious XTC demos... Here's a couple that are top notch... "This Is The End" was a demo from the "Oranges & Lemons" era... (I'm pretty sure it was created long before ...maybe the Skylarking sessions)... I spoke to (singer/songwriter) Andy Partridge about this song and he ...

**XTC - Dear God**I got struck down with a stomach flu today and my morning started out so promising, I hate summer colds. I'm just going to post a bunch of '80s vids and mp3's tonight and not say much. Enjoy or ignore.

I am right this minute listening to English Settlement by XTC. I love this band. I would pay $1,000,000 dollars to see XTC (mostly Andy) perform in concert. But woe is me, Andy Partridge (AP) has stage fright and stopped touring eons ago. I read an interview with AP and the AV in The Onion. I was so sad to hear him feeling that he has vomited up all the music he has, that he suffers from T...
