Message-ID: <20000602140834.26020.qmail@web113.yahoomail.com> Allo Chalkizens First of all a hearty THANK YOU! to Todd Bernhardt for doing those interviews with the guys. I enjoyed them all. Great Job Todd! From chalk 145.... TB thus spake.. "RNV (may I call you R?) quoted from my interview w/Andy, talking about who played guitar. Mitch, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Colin played guitar on his songs, while Andy played all guitar on his own songs (and perhaps added some to Colin's). To quote-- AP: Yeah, probably. It's literally just the three of us in any given combination, mostly. I'm getting to do all the guitar -- or most of the guitar, Colin's playing guitar on a few things -- and, you know, he's on bass and we're both doing bits of keyboard.""" Thanks Todd!! It was my initial post that RNV was disputing. I thought I had read that in the Colin interview and dissected it to prove my point but searched in vain for the right quote. Thanks for finding the relevant Andy paragraph and proving my point. Also in chalk 145 Brain Matthews had the gall to dispute the "three things we didn't know about Wasp Star" post from Mitch. Hey Brian! in cased you missed it, Mitch was relating things that Andy said, not things that Mitch himself perceived about Wasp Star. You are arguing with the man who wrote and recorded the songs about his thoughts on his own music. I am sure Andy is happy to know that it is all "Ok" though cause you said so. He is sleeping much better! Again TB said it very well in 145 "Furthermore (last rant), what's with people giving Andy "advice" via the list? My god, what arrogance. Tell you what -- write, record and release some songs that even approach XTC's worst, and maybe I'll listen, eh? Something tells me Andy won't, though. Thank goodness." READ THAT AGAIN PLEASE!! Yes I know I am yelling. I meant to! I also agree with Todd's point about play by play disecctions of Wasp Star. I just page down immediately. Kingtunes....Me thinks thy verbosity is done oer much, and by this I intend to say that "You type superfluosly". To end on a positive note.... (Sorry to be such a grouch but I have been bottling up some of these things for a while) I have a question for the group and particularly for Peter, Simon, Mitch or Richard if perhaps you could mention it to Andy if you speak to him. If AV1 and WS were released as a single unit would the running order have remained the same or would it have been altered a bit? I have been intrigued by some of the recent running orders I have seen posted here. And I wonder if given the circumstances Andy and Colin mightn't have made some changes to the order given a bigger (perhaps wider is a better term) canvas on which to apply their paint. I won't give my thoughts on the subject yet I am still mulling it over. Cheers All Mole PS: Oh yes by the way I think Wasp Star is very nice. I especially like the little drum fill that immediately follows the second time Andy sings "You and the wheel turn" at the beginning of Wheel and the Maypole. It just really sets things up nicely for the big "And if the Pot won't hold...." I get shivers every time I hear it.

Dear chalkhillians,
As this is my first ever posting on this hallowed turf, I thought I would
kick off with a few gentle words.
Firstly Colin Moulding seems to have taken all the comments about his ability
to write about things close to home, to heart, and he has trying too hard to
be 'English'. I agree that all his most recent stuff is very homely and about
his immediate enviroment etc etc but and this is the rub my friends, Colins
lyrics simply lack the poetry/the insight to make what he writes about
interesting. IMHO it is the Nick Hornby syndrome. For example that talentless
tosser writes about relationships, women, having children etc etc but he
fails to say one enlightening thing about any of them. And Colin is doing
the same. With Boarded Up he just uses tired old images of what a dead end
town is like. Nothing leaps out and strikes you as 'oh yes, I never would
have described/thought of it like that'. It's just one cliched image after
another.
And to top it all, he seems to have forgotten to write tunes and got stuck in
a dreary,trudgy rhythm. And what is really scarey is that he seems to have
lost the charm that his songwriting had on Skylarking say. But hey that's
only 15 years ago.
He should stop thinking he is the answer to Ray Davies leave the
'Englishness' to those who do it best ie Martin Newell and concentrate on
writing a decent pop song.
kind regards
Steven

I called Olsson's in Arlington on the afternoon of the 23rd and they held the last limited edition in the store for me until I got off work. It made me very happy that I didn't go to Tower at midnight the previous evening to purchase a single-less version. I've made a decision to buy all my music from Olsson's in the future. I had a nice conversation about XTC with the clerk there who was a fan of AV1 and earlier recordings. He seemed very pleased to connect with another fan. Now if we could only get WHFS to play it we'd get some traction. Dan DuBray McLean

I'm not sure why so many of you find it necessary to post critical analysis rather than herald the end of a dark time for fans of XTC. We know XTC can dominate high end art pieces (AV 1), and now we see they haven't lost their touch for more popular mass media. This album makes me laugh and sing and sometimes sulk silently seeking hidden meanings in the verse. When I hear TWATM, at the moment when the two songs mesh, it's all I can do to kep from jumping up at work and kissing whoever has the great fortune to be within my midst (mist?). You pills should relax and spend less time writing and more time enjoying one of the last best bands. Being a XTC fan in Helena, MT, USA is lonely work. Keep writing. Joseph Easter

Couldn't stop being curious about what was being said on the list. Whats this about no more demos? Or are ya'll gonna make me go back in the archives and look for meself. The demos didn't ruin my appreciation of Wasp Star. Actually, I like the "overproduced fluff" better. How anyone could consider The Wheel and the Maypole "fluff" I'll never understand. That is the most philosophical and beautifully arranged song ever made. What made me rejoin the list before I graduated (I had planned on returning after I was done writing the darn thesis)? Molly's post to the nay sayers. Why? Dunno... it was just so vintage Molly that I missed the list ever so. :-) Yeh, its all opinion, and people will think WS is fluff. Whatever. Its selling better and its enjoyable.

(http://www.gavin.com/music/a3/chart.shtml) ------ > From: "Joel Enbom" <joelenbom@freewwweb.com> > Subject: Harrison? I'm waiting... > So, please, Harrison, help my out. I think I'm getting it. I want to > hear what you have to say, though. I'll chime in again, afterward. Oh, like, don't put the pressure on or anything, Joel! Honestly, folks, I don't think there's a single elegant unifying theme underlying the sequencing of Wasp Star, the way the nature/love themes alternated in AV1. While Wasp Star certainly revisits the themes of AV1, barring a few amusing sequencing choices (Standing In for Joe/Wounded Horse being the obvious one) I don't detect the same sort of pattern that was so prominent on the earlier record. To ask Wasp Star to tell a *story* in any linear sort of way, the way AV1 does, is forcing matters. However, I think one thing has occasionally gotten lost in folks' initial reaction to Wasp Star, and I think it might help if we bear it in mind when assessing the album: It can't in any way be separated from Apple Venus Volume 1 and treated as an independent entity. Remember that the Orchoustic/Eclectric conception, planned for years, was the very thing that tore Dave Gregory away from XTC, so strongly did he feel that it shouldn't be done in the way it was done. (Remember also that there were apparently insurmountable budgetary reasons for it as well.) I think that taken as a whole, the Apple Venus double album might be thought of as a detailed meditation on Masculinity--on what it means to be a Man in every respect: the spiritual, the sexual, the social, the intellectual. Look at how many male archetypes are explored: the God, the Father, the Lover, the Protector, the Friend, the Enemy, the Citizen, the Narcissist, the Adulterer, the Cuckold. Songs like Easter Theater and Church of Women, while directly about women, deal with them only from the point of view of men--sympathetic men, to be sure, liberated, benevolent men--but hey: the whole point of churches is to worship the Other. While I don't discern a meaningful internal pattern to the songs on Wasp Star, it's plain that many songs on the later collection reflect and comment on the earlier. In particular, it's interesting to consider the end songs, The Last Balloon and The Wheel and the Maypole, as a reflecting pair. Remember how AV1 ended, the sequence I Can't Own Her, Harvest Festival and The Last Balloon each exploring loss and decay: The profoundly adult insight that the greatest act of love is to grant freedom to your beloved (ICOH), leads to the achingly sad moment of nostalgia in Harvest Festival (I still frequently lose the fight against the trembling lip and the misty eye during this one, more than a year later), which in turn leads to a rueful dirge of resignation to inevitable decay and death, with the cold comfort that perhaps future generations might be happier than we. Compare that, then, to the last three songs of Wasp Star, all of which in their way are celebrations of the here-and-now, a way of fending off death by living fully in the moment, be it through carnal love (You & the Clouds), love of the Other (Church of Women), or reverence for the very process of life and death itself (Wheel & Maypole). There are two tensions going on in The Wheel and the Maypole: first we have the female principle (the Wheel, the circle, the nurturing impulse that "raises the living," Yin) and then the male principle (the Maypole, the straight line, the rational impulse, Yang). The other tension is between order and decay, between the urge to build and admire what one has built, and the despair caused by the inevitable destruction of one's works. This is, of course, a tension associated with the rational principle, and is precisely what the Buddhists mean when they warn us that all suffering is caused by desire. So why does Andy sound so happy when he sings "Of course it all unweaves!"? Because now, after this 22-chapter exploration of what it means to be a Man, to be an actor in the Big Square World, to be a builder and a drawer of straight lines (an architect, forsooth!), to fight death through acts of construction and rationalization and acquisition, he understands that the bravest act of manhood is to Not Be a Man. The Third Noble Truth: _Nirodha_: The cessation of Desire. The ties that bind you will unwind... The Last Balloon, for all its acceptance of inevitability, lacks this final insight: that happiness is actually possible in this life, even in the face of death. When the Wheel and the Maypole become one, when the male and female halves of our souls are balanced and serene, death becomes immaterial. When striving ceases, True Love can begin. ----- >> [ Britney claims they're real. -- John ] Shakyamuni claims they're illusions.

The production values are different, but I think you could put "Ugly Underneath" or "Books Are Burning" or "Smartest Monkeys" on Wasp Star and musically they'd fit right in. In fact, this is the first XTC record in a long time that doesn't have a tune on it that I skip almost every time. Thank god for CD's, or I'd have to actually listen to "Bungalow" or "Holly Up On Poppy." Now, don't rage on me if those are your favorite songs. That's great, for you. Maybe there's someone out there that skips "Wake Up" or "Scarecrow People" or "Train Running Low on Soul Coal," or.......I could go on. But I'm glad that Andy and Colin (who I presumptuously refer to by their first names despite the fact that I've never had the pleasure of meeting either of them) don't make their music with the idea of trying to please everyone all the time. There's plenty of other artists out there who qualify in the "McDonalds of Music" category. I was hypercritical of AV1 when it came out, not because the songs weren't strong, but because the wait for them had been so long. It's like going to a restaurant, waiting an interminable amount of time for your order, then finding out that the chef made your favorite dish a little differently than you're used to. But now I find that I listen to that record more and more, as little by little I've gotten over myself. "So be good, and never poison people" k?

This is the kind of stuff that will keep serious XTC scholars occupied for a couple of centuries - if they do get the post-humous recognition i've always predicted.

Message-ID: <39384224.2B845279@ksbe.edu> Organization: 3Tripper Thanks for the Vernal / Spring idea. I swear, the people on this list can answer any question. Strength in numbers and all that. But do you think the band considered the seasons when deciding what to name the albums? Autumn Vernal and Winter Summer? 6 letters in each word....and Apple Venus has 5 in each word, and Wasp Star has 4......do you think this influenced their choices? "It's taken until the fifth listen, but "Wasp Star" has finally clicked. I became aware when I started getting goosebumps in places I never got them before" John, you should see a doctor about that. Here's an idea for helping XTC to promote Wasp Star: I found my local rock/alt radio station's web page (I guess everything has a web page now). I e mailed each DJ individually, asking them to play something from the new XTC album. I started by praising their work on the air. A little butt-lickery never hurts. Try it in your local region. Heck, we could all do that to each other's stations, I suppose. I'll also be calling in requests most days for the next couple of weeks. Speaking of promoting, I'd like to recommend my band 3Tripper one more time here on the hallowed hills of chalk. For power pop songs with loud guitars and thrashing drums on some songs, gentle pianos and acoustic guitars on others, and soaring harmonies throughout, please visit http://www.mp3.com/3tripper. It would be great if you could give a few listens to the song "Mister". We are trying to push is as the single, and if you can help drive it into the top 40, more folks are likely to give it a try.

Taylor Singletary" <graysweaters@yahoo.com> Subject: Wasp Star, and a complete analysis Message-ID: <20000602234200.29448.rocketmail@web221.mail.yahoo.com> This is going to be hard to write. I first came into XTC through Oingo Boingo by buying Go2. Loved it. Years later Apple Venus 1 came out. Bought it. Listened to it while on acid. It was cosmic. I liked everything but the two Colin songs. In fact, I very rarely like Colin's songs. Then I bought Skylarking. Loved most of it, but hated Colin's songs except for Grass. Then I bought Oranges & Lemons, which I liked for the most part, but it took awhile. I bought English Settlement... Liked many songs, but the b-sides for the most part were crappy. Ball & Chain to me is insepid crap. I loved most of nonsuch. Now, after buying almost all the albums [yes mummer and big express (expres I HATED)] I have a love/hate rel. with XTC. Sometimes Andys voice is so annoying and unhonest. Often his lyrics are clever, but sometimes they fall under the category of being too obviously dumb. His extended metaphors at times are a bit too extended and obvious. I read a lot of poetry and therefore criticize this stuff often. Bought Wasp Star. Returned it the same day I bought it. I came to the conclusion that it was an embodiment of everything I've come to hate about XTC and very little of what I love. [believe me there is lots to love.] Apple Venus 1 still gets plenty of play. Thanks for listening.
