no Todd, I love the Cut Worms...and I know they are not a "bluegrass" band, but their sound TO ME vears in that direction sometime, which I don't care for...

Enjoyed that Queers Sidewalk Surfer Girl tune...let's hear it for another single syllable band/artist TOPT discovery and intro!!!

@clarke: if not for Rundgren's guidance, Skylarking would probably not have been the success for XTC that it was & their label was ready to drop them if this effort did not sell. Colin left due to Andy's belligerence during the project over his playing. Todd's still making music in 2022, XTC..dead in the water after 2000
  5:03pm
clarke:

i agree that the album was great, just not their time MAKING IT.
  5:07pm
clarke:

but also to your further point (which i made no reference to): i haven't heard a rundgren album in years that i would buy.
  5:08pm
?:

described by Rundgren as "joyless." Partridge went so far as telling Todd he'd like to "cleave his head with an axe" for taking Colin's side after Andy rejected all of his playing on 'Earn enough for us", the ONLY track recorded live with the whole band present (in less than 5 takes) to which Colin stood up, quit the session & the band.

Fredericks: I hate to see food go to waste. I wish it were easier for more people to get food stamps because we produce more food than we can use and I'd like to see it distributed better. I guess the government fears people will buy things they like so instead they give out five pound blocks of Velveeta, more than a family can use.

"As the bill stated, any state that would ask for the cheese would get 30 million pounds (14,000 metric tons) of it, in 5-pound (2.3 kg) blocks. The logic behind the distribution was to remove waste effectively and to use all possible resources available in the United States. One representative from the United States Department of Agriculture remarked, "Probably the cheapest and most practical thing would be to dump it in the ocean."
