....lovely liddle programme about Andy Partridge (XTC)....http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08r1tsz

....couldn't but help hear very strong Beachboys [Brian Wilson] influence in many of the tracks....

....my theory as to why XTC were never bigger....you couldn't dance to them....

one of my better decisions was to see them at the Lyceum in 1981 not long before AP gave up performing.

Theirs is a quite exceptional body of work.
