Listening to music like XTC’s Skylarking reminds me that I do, in fact, have something in common with Dee Snider. I wanna rock. And this record ain’t taking me there. I’m not saying I only want to listen to crunching guitars and screeching vocals. Good classical rocks, even pop can rock, and funk is always rocking. I don’t think XTC is bad, but rarely does their music meet the need I share with Dee.

This copy of Skylarking is the first edition and doesn’t include the hit “Dear God.” More about this record.

    OK, so this has exactly nothing at all to do with XTC, but I just found a Beast of Bourbon concert DVD on Netflix. You know I’ve been sold on these guys based on the name alone, so I think I’ll have to add this to the queue so I can finally hear ’em. Looks like the concert was in 2006, so I guess they’re still around. Rock!

    Excellent! I’ll add to our queue, too.
