I just wanted to announce the discovery of a very XTC-sounding CD: it's "Modes of Transportation Vol. 1" by Spookey Ruben. I don't know much about the artist (I think he's american, but some of the songs were recorded in Canada) except that he plays pop songs with melodies that are spookily similar to XTC (sometimes too much so). I think it's worth checking out: it's on TVT records (TVT 5410-2).

Has anybody here ever even seen a copy, let alone anyone who -gulp- OWNS one If you do, PLEASE tell me what I need to do to 1) own it 2) receieve xeroxes / faxes of the pages. I'll pay.

------------------------------ From: patty@gdb.org (Patty Haley) Subject: Questions, comments, kvetching Date: Fri, 6 Oct 1995 23:28:15 -0400 (EDT) Hello everyone: >From Adam Ostermann: > > * David Yazbek's excellent album _The Laughing Man_. Power pop, > > featuring Andy Partridge on a couple of tracks. I would appreciate some private email letting me know the label this is on. If my local store doesn't have it, they can get it, but their first question to me besides "Who did you say that was" is always, "What label is that on" > Anyhow, I'm babbling, so I'll sign off. > > And as Colin Moulding comments on the ^XTC: Radio One Live^ : > "Good to be Bach!" OK, I can't remember if this is something I've mentioned to the list online or only in my head, but I find the earlier voices of Andy and Colin *much* more difficult to distinguish than of late. I always thought this was Andy, although I certainly don't dispute Adam's comment, as now that I think about it, it does sound like Colin. Of course, since I think Colin and Andy sound so similar back then (although it's easy to tell on the live disc who is who when they're singing), they both sound like the same person at times, so I'm right, no matter who I think I'm hearing. (How's that for irrational logic) And as far as "The Testimonial Dinner" goes, well, thanks, but someone else can have my seat on the dais. Ruben Blades' contribution sounds interesting, but I just can't see the point of tribute albums. All they make me want to do is go listen to the original artist anyway. Case-in-point: Sarah McLachlan's (sp) cover of "Dear God". The only time I can think of offhand where a cover song has really taken on a new life is when Monsoon covered The B*****s' "Tomorrow Never Knows". And speaking of "Tomorrow Never Knows," that song could be our theme for the release date of the next XTC album. I'd love to get my hands on that Louis L'Affair Trio album, but I've had no luck trying so far. Sigh. -Patty (wondering if the feet of the person diving into the water on the cover of the new Blur album belong to the woman in the bathing cap on the cover of their first album, "Leisure"--nah, probably not)

Ostermann said: #> ^Nonsuch^ was the No.1 airplay album #> on college radio for, like, a solid month or so. Triple J here in Australia [a youth network set up by a government-run broadcasting corp] played Nonsvch to death when it came out, mainly 'Then She Appeared', 'Dear Madam Barnum', and '...Peter Pumpkinhead'. 'The Disappointed' actually got to around number 39 on the Australian singles charts at one point. It's amazing how many people I know who have never heard of XTC, who know these songs quite well. I have a feeling that their next album will be a commercial hit in Australia -- if Triple J get behind it, then the mainstream stations are likely to pick it up. And so on.

Anyway, right now I am listening to "A street called Prospect " from Newell's "Englishman". I disagree with everyone who disagrees with this album. I have called Alibi Records ...by the way, THANK YOU whoever put their number in Chalkhills 7 because in about a week I will not only be the proud owner of XTC demos 1-5 but also 6 and 7. I can not wait and will post a review of 6 and 7 when they arrive. It set me back only a SMIDGEN of what I would pay to get XTC material. Next shall be "Testemonial Dinner". I like Blur. They are like gum during a non-smoking flight. Ok. One last thing. I will hand over, NOT a copy but the actual video tape with cover and all of a show called "ROCKPALAST" which was recorded in Germany which contains on it an entire live XTC concert two weeks before English Settlement came out, many XTC videos and live footage of them at work on MUMMER including many interviews ........................ALL THIS for one damned copy of the NEW XTC demos...(or if this is not possible....The actual disc of Hello Recording Clubs A. Partridge disc) thanks email me. Sowsij@aol.com P.S. any body from England that wants to be E-mail friends, E away. I am somewhat of an Anglophile and would enjoy the conversation. Put on "Through the Hill" just to relax to. Don't listen, just hear.

No offense, but this >is quite a selfish list compared to others (Hitchcock, Floyd, etc.) when >it comes to sharing rare materials for tape trees: why is this Good God, this person is right! As a 2-year participant on this list, I can't recall a single tape tree (which is not to say I didn't nod off and miss one here or there). It IS damned odd that we XTC fans en masse haven't shared the goodies more readily. Consider the Elvis Costello list (costello@en.com), where a 7-tape set of Elvis' August performances in NYC were recently tree'd (hi, Dean!). OK, here's the deal... if you are interested in a tape tree of Jules Verne's Sketchbook backed by The Bull With the Golden Guts (one 90-minute tape), e-mail me PRIVATELY (NOT the Chalkhills list) so we can see how much interest there is and negotiate the details of the tree. When you write, please specify whether you want to be a BRANCH or a LEAF. Branches are responsible for trading down the line to one or more leaves; the benefits of being a branch are getting a higher generation tape and realizing a greater potential for trades. It is assumed that branches have reasonable tape dubbing equipment. Without going full tilt into the ground rules of tape trees, let me mention that as a participant you are not expected to profit from your branch/leaf transactions, nor am I from my root/branch transactions. Sorry, I don't have any of the new Andy demos that are rumoured to be circulating. I offer a JVS and TBWTGG tree with the full realization that many of you may already have one or both of these, but that many of you may not. Also, it really burns me to see Ecstatic bootlegging JVS. Remember, if you're interested, send PRIVATE e-mail to dfranson@execpc.com. DO NOT respond to the Chalkhills list. Sorry for the authoritarian ring above, but tape trees only work if you take the responsibilities of participation seriously.

------------------------------ From: ZITTEL@aol.com Date: Sun, 8 Oct 1995 10:05:35 -0400 Subject: AOL posting Don't know if anyone sent this in yet, but this was posted on AOL be Thirsty Ear: Subj: Andy Partridge on "Testimonial" 95-10-07 17:17:31 EDT From: Thirsty e We went straight to the horse's mouth to get Andy Partridge's thoughts and comments on the forthcoming XTC tribute album "A Testimonial Dinner." So we sent him a few questions in the mail. Here's what he had to say: Notes on A Testimonial Dinner by Andy Partridge Re: "Surprised by XTC's influence" Yes, because we just started out emulating our heroes with no initial 'big plan' other than having fun (with a guitar hanging around your neck) and the whole thing just grew into this vast delightful cake. I have a feeling we may get to return the compliment one day if/when some of these artists get a tribute album built around them , we'll help, pass the brick and mortar. Re: "Sarah McLachlan's 'Dear God'" I think its better than the original, much more spooky. A great marriage between her voice and haunted arrangement. We should have done it like this. Paganism never sounded so good. Verve Pipe's "Wake Up" hits 11 out of 10 on the spunk-o-meter. Ruben Blades versions of "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" really makes my spine tingle, which is quite a feat as I haven't owned one for the last thirteen years! And what Terry and the Lovemen did to "The Good Things" brought a lump to my trousers. Re: "Terry and the Lovemen" Are a group of fellows from Wiltshire and one from Liverpool, who are besotted with XTC. They just seem to take the band's career as a template to live by, (sounds unhealthy to me!) You've got to admit they do a pretty good job on the "sounds-alike" scale. Their singer does a passable Colin and even manages to sound not unlike Dave and Andy in other places (weird). With dedication to duty like this, how could David Yazbek have refused them a place on the album. I hear they took their name from an ad in Japan for our album "Black Sea." (The Japanese) jumped the gun and advertised it under the name of one of our "in" jokes at the time, which was calling the record "Terry and the Lovemen." Re: "Future Plans" At the moment our career is held in the fridge while we undergo protracted legal wranglings to get of our Virgin/EMI deals. We have enough material in store to make future albums, but can't do anything with it. When we get sorted, the next album's going to be a killer. Re: "Other Comments" If you pick me, I'll find a cure for cancer, help starving record company executives, teach third world children to sing (in perfect harmony), dispense love, affection and diet drinks to all single parents, beat the meat import restrictions, get drunk with the pope and wear this beautiful crown, on my last surviving tooth, day and night. BYE, ANDY P.S. I'd also like to meet all the bits they cut off of Michael Jackson. I hear they made a nice guy. **"A Testimonial Dinner: The Songs of XTC" will be released on October 17, 1995 by Thirsty Ear Recordings.***
------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Oct 95 11:09:18 EDT From: Peter <ST002436@BROWNVM.brown.edu> Subject: Police, Sobule, etc. Does anybody know if the new Police live record is from a concert where XTC opened up I think it's taken from show in Boston around the time of "Regatta de Blanc." Does anyone else out there listen to Jill Sobule She has had some fame recent- ly with "I Kissed A Girl" (which actually reminds me a bit of "Balloon Man" by Robyn Hitchcock.) Anyway, her most recent record has some very catchy pop songs with some funny lyrics too. Sort of like a really giggly Aimee Mann. The other pick of the week may sound like it comes from left-field but here it is. The new Prince record is amazing. I realize that the thought of Prince does not ordinarily lead one to XTC but in actuality I think there is a lot about Prince's music that XTC fans could appreciate. Firstly, I can think of few artists who do as much with arrangements and sound as he does. If the listen-a- 1000-times-and-still-hear-new-things style of Skylarking and O & L interests you then you should check it out. Secondly, Prince shares several influences with XTC including Joni Mitchell and Frank Zappa. Thirdly, if you can get past the ever-present sense of rabid sexuality, there is a positivity in Prince's music not unlike XTC's conception of peaceful, socially concerned happiness. Prince is also one hell of a musician. Forward in all directions. Peter
------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Oct 1995 21:00:19 -0400 From: "Craig Snyder" <csnyder@YorkU.CA> Subject: Testimonial Dinner Hi, I thought I might de-lurk to report on a sighting of XTC on Commercial Radio. CFNY here in Toronto (the commercial alternative station in the city) has justplayed two songs off of Testimonial Dinner. On their new music show they played Sarah MacLachlan's version of Dear God. I think it is absolutely great. Indeed I think her voice may suit the song better than Andy's. That's not to say I dislike the original I just think Sarah's voice adds a more subtle element to the song which counterpoints the message. CFNY also played Spacehog's version of Senses... and I can't top Gene Yoon's description of it. It is too bad the DJ didn't pick up on the Terry and the Lovemen secret identity as I would have liked to have heard that. Then again I should be thankful they didn't play the Crash Test Dummies! While I have your attention to answer a previous question about which song I would cover (doubtful as I have no musical talent) if I could I think it would be Wardance, Living Through Another Cuba or Generals and Majors -- the best anti-war songs I have ever heard.

------------------------------ From: David Yazbek <yazbek@pipeline.com> Date: Sat, 7 Oct 1995 11:52:20 -0400 Subject: Re: Chalkhills Digest #2-9 Hello, Thanks for the positive responses to the Testimonial Dinner album thus far. If you didn't know, it's coming out October 17th and it's already been added at a lot of imporessive radio stations, including WNEW in N.Y. and DRE in Long Island. It's Sarah Mclachlan's sublime (I think) version of "Dear God" that's getting the lion's share of attention. Partridge says "It's better than our version" and while I won't agree, being a diehard XTC fan, I will say that I've listened to it probably a hundred times and it still brings a tear to the eye. Now let me address a few issues that have been brought up in Chalkhills and that I have been e-mailed about-- Johnny Nexdor is not XTC. But it's pretty obvious that Sean Altman was doing his best A.P. impersonation. It's the only cut off that album (Carmen Sandiego) that I wasn't around for, but I probably would have told him to tone down the XTC-ness a bit. Space Hog is an excellent band of English guys who live in NYC. Their energy and musicality reminded me of a young XTC and they turned out to be fans of our lads, so I asked them to be on the album. Their debut album is out on Elektra, I believe. Some great songs. The Verve Pipe is an extremely inventive, musical band out of I think Michigan. They also submitted a cover of "The Blue Beret" that blew my socks off, but there was only room for one of theirs so we used "Wake Up", which I've always loved and which also blew my socks off. I've taken to painting my ankles lately. Their new album is coming out on R.C.A. soon. P. Hux's version of "Another Sattelite" was submitted almost a year ago and I've always loved it. He has a new album out as well. Stop asking me about Terry and the Lovemen. Those bastards were hell to work with. They're undisciplined, smelly, ignorant youngsters with some musical ability but no sense of rhythm. I'll never work with them again. Except maybe the drummer, who is nice. Finally- Thanks also for the nice reviews and feedback on my album, "The Laughing Man". It's sold okay in Japan and extremely well in France (!) and it's coming out here at long last in January on W.A.R. records. I should start touring around then also, possibly with Dave Gregory in tow, schedule and budget permitting. One other thing-- there's a band in NYC called Skeleton Key that I highly recommend. Especially if you like XTC circa Big Express. There are shades of that angular, heavily rhythmic, angry stuff that is among my favorite XTC sounds. Thanks-- Yazbek

If anybody out there is in contact with Ian Stewart (the guy putting together the Skylacking tape, would you tell him that someone (me) has done a rendition of "Ballet for a Rainy Day" Last I knew, it wasn't taken...And it came out darn well, IMHO. :) I sent him a regular old letter, since he isn't online, but we all know how s l o w that is.

------------------------------ Date: 10 Oct 1995 10:23:41 -0500 From: "Wesley Wilson" <Wesley_Wilson@iegate.mitre.org> Subject: Review- Skylarking Gold CD In Chalkhills issue #9, "Brux Deluxe" asks about the Mobile Fidelity gold "Skylarking" CD. As an owner of this CD, I do think it's the best recorded version available of the album, but I am keenly disappointed in two areas: 1.) They don't include "Mermaid Smiled," which was on the original American pressing of the album but was deleted in favor of "Dear God." 2.) The jewel case baffles me. It's apparently designed so that the CD does not fall out upon opening the case, but what happens to my copy is that the entire jewel box becomes undone and I have to fiddle with it to an annoying degree to get it as it should be. And it doesn't close tightly like other jewel boxes. Hey, I have some questions: (1) Is "Testimonial Dinner" officially released yet (2) Why is the Japanese CD of "The Laughing Man" so hard to get here in the U.S. My local CD store has been trying to get a copy for a month now. I want this version because it has "Welcome to the Go Go Years" on it. (3) Anyone able to get "L'Affaire Louis Trio" CD from anywhere in the U.S. Wes

Check out the Newbury Comics web page at http://www.newbury.com There's a short blur(b) in there about a new album called The Great Escape, showing the album cover and describing the responsible band as follows: "UK POP BAND WITH CATCHY HOOKS & SATIRICAL LYRICS ABOUT THE MODERN WORLD." :-)
------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 1995 13:40:17 -0500 From: wjcohen@students.wisc.edu (William J. Cohen) Subject: Blurred on Supergrass >Actually Supergrass sound much more like XTC. I don't know if their >LP has been released in the US yet. It sounds not unlike Drums and >Wires period XTC which augers well for a first. (Supergrass was talked about on this newsgroup last August I think). I think they sound a lot like The Jam too - they have a very mod sound. I would say more like Go2 than D&W, as far as the xTc comparison goes. >Blur couldn't turn a corner. I think a lot of English people might not like Blur because they are a top 40 band over there (are they even considered an "indie" band in England) I know how it is, too much of a good thing and all. So I'm glad that they're not superstars stateside because I probably wouldn't like them as much. But I do think Blur is a good band; we'll see if they ever achieve the status of xTc.
