Title: 'XTC: This is Pop!' documentary Post by: sir windon on Monday, October 9, 2017, 11:26:18 This was screened on Sky Arts Saturday night. Any one see it? Haven't watched it all yet. Seemed like a fairly routine chronological account from what I've seen so far. Nice to hear some good, old Swindon accents on the tele, mind!.

Was not into their earlier stuff and only picked up on them when they moved away from "punk". Must re-visit their catalogue as some of the music played on the programme I was not aware of and sounded good.

Also an excellent choice... The fact one lyric is “Next you’ll be telling me it’s 1990” makes me feel a little old... |
