All Roads Lead To XTC (Reno Rambler)

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:31:00 GMT

On a recent trip to the Bay my sister asked me if I had heard the new Coldplay album remarking that the band seemed to be channeling Mummer era XTC on a couple of tracks. In listening to the track Strawberry Swing I could hear that she was right. It reminded me that I have been hearing a lot lately about the band, Fleet Foxes. Loads of articles proclaiming their brilliance and critics all seeming to...

Gestir (Mr Red Penguin's MP3 Heaven)

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:36:00 GMT

It's a long way from the Faroe Islands to the Hope and Anchor. One of London's seminal venues, its 70s pub rock and punk pedigree is legendary. The list of bands who have played there is endless .. Madness, U2, The Damned, XTC, The Stranglers, Spandau Ballet ... it's pretty much the smallest venue with the smallest stage I can think of still hosting regular shows. If you get 50 people in there, they're...

Number One on the Pope's iPod (PowerPop)

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:52:00 GMT

Well, here's a song I had no idea there had ever been an official video for. From 1992, it's XTC and their simultaneously quite profound and fiendishly catchy "Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead." Now that I've seen it, of course, I'm torn over which is cooler -- the song itself or those vintage Gretch and Vox guitars the band is using. Two things need to be added here. First, there is a special circle in...
