STEREO EMBERS THE PODCAST w/ Alex Green

[@lemokolyon]

Thanks for this interview. My ''desert island'' album would be Go2, because i loved so much ''Battery bride'', a Colin song. That album means so much to me... All my youth, 17 y.o., alone in London from 77 to 79, the Marquee almost every night, buying xtc first singles at Rough Trade, in Portobello, drinking a coke with Sting and Summers at the Camden club, a squatt, basicaly, when the 4 Police were opening for Fashion. ... So many souvenirs... Souvenirs of freedom and being at the right place at the right time. Go2 is the audio signature of those years, for me.

Great interview. Thanks a lot. Colin is less prolific than our dear Andy, but all those great songs ! The last one, Scatter me, is just wonderful.

Great interview . Interesting questions and some surprising answers . Can we please have an interview with Terry next, please ? 😎

and I LOVE the TC&I EP, Scatter Me shattered me

[@alexgreen3031]

Me too!

“Making Plans for Nigel” is everywhere and quite lasting as a cultural moment in pop, Colin must be collecting lots of royalties on that.

I can't believe Colin said no to Bill Sherwood about playing with Yes ! I dreamed of it ..( really ! ) : Andy and him joining Yes ! It would have been the perfect association. Yes + XTC. What both bands needed. Colin, please, call back Billy Sherwood... Say : Yes. Tell him you have a good drummer ! 😉

Softly spoken with an English accent. 👍

It's the guy that writes the hits That gets the money In this funny old world of pop The bassist and the drummer might be lucky They never seem to get a lot You start out high school buddies And swear allegiance for all time But when the checks come rolling in It's cash or I resign But the duffest tune a band can play And even the nightingales despair It's the sound of a lawyers doorbell That rings in Berkeley Square Ring out High school buddies Allegiance for all time Comrades of pop turn away In love and war all is fair A far worse fate awaits you On carpets made from human hair Good Night

Shame that XTC isn't around anymore. What I heard was Scatter Me as far as TC+I is incredible. Hopefully Andy will eventually put out some new material and not holding my breath do one last XTC album.
