Los Angeles
Willie's comments: On their debut album, X offered a few engaging twists on the punk formula that the Ramones had spearheaded. The songs whiz by with minimal arrangements (generally, bassist John Doe and guitarist Billy Zoom play the same parts on their respective instruments) and nary a solo to be found. However, they add to the mix the bracing boy/girl vocal parts of Doe and his then-wife Exene Cervenka, and songs like "Johnny Hit and Run Paulene" chug along to rockabilly rhythms rather than the traditional 4/4 of punk. Los Angeles is only nine songs long, and a couple of them are a bit draggy ("The World's a Mess, It's in My Kiss" outstays its welcome), but on the whole, songs like "Nausea," "Sex and Dying in High Society," and "Sugarlight" are enjoyable. The best of the bunch, however, is "The Unheard Music," a memorable number in which the band slows things down to a point where it sounds like Richard Thompson gone punk. It's still not as catchy as their later arena-rock number "Burning House of Love," but "The Unheard Music," like Los Angeles itself, is a low-key success. Grade: B+
Wild Gift
Willie's comments: X's second album is to Los Angeles is what Thomas Harris's Hannibal was to Silence of the Lambs: a stunningly unpleasant disappointment. The problem with Wild Gift is a simple and total lack of hooks. While the elusive musical property known as "catchiness" is not an essential element in all types of music- abstract art-rockers like Godspeed You Black Emperor can get along fine without it, for example- punk is a genre that is willfully stripped down to the bare bones of rock. Without melodies or riffs that stick to your mind like cooked spaghetti, punk has nothing to recommend it. The Buzzcocks understood this. Bad Religion understands this. CIV would do well to understand this. X surely understands this on an intellectual level, because their debut album had plenty of meaty tunes, so it leads me to believe that Wild Gift is just a misfire rather than a document of an inept band, but it is nevertheless unlistenable. Where Cervenka's riot grrrl singing used to be buoyant, here it is abrasive. Where the rockabilly rhythms used to be propulsive, here they seem sluggish. On this album's best songs- "Back 2 the Base" and "I'm Coming Over"- the band's sheer energy is infectious, but that doesn't make Wild Gift any better. Grade: D+
Scott Michel writes: Just read your X: Wild Gift review.
Saying Wild Gift has no hooks is like saying Pam Anderson has no tits.
It doesn't matter anyway. Under the Big Black Sun is the best thing done by any Los Angeles band ever. Give it a spin if you haven't and it will become one of your favorites.

X-Files companion albums
Songs in the Key of X
Willie's comments: As an X-Phile, I have to tell you that I cant imagine many of these songs actually turning up on the show (and, as of this writing, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Red Right Hand is the only one that I recall hearing in any episode). Songs by Screamin Jay Hawkins, Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper, the Meat Puppets, and Frank Black are all too upbeat to fit the somber mood of The X-Files (though the songs by the latter two are essential), while William S. Burroughss spoken-word interpretation of R.E.M.s Star Me Kitten is one of those mind-bogglingly bad ideas that you cant believe was ever made a reality. However, Soul Coughing, P.M. Dawn, the Foo Fighters, and Elvis Costello and Brian Eno get the shows creepy, paranoid mood right, and Sheryl Crows On the Outside is suitably narcotic. And regardless of whether they fit the show, these are mostly top-notch songs to begin with. As TV soundtracks go, this is a masterwork. Grade: B+
X-Files: The Movie soundtrack
Willie's comments: Much like Songs in the Key of X, I can't remember many of these songs actually having appeared in the X-Files film, but at least most of them do stay true to the dark tone of Chris Carters vision. The exceptions are bubblier songs by Tonic, the Foo Fighters, Sting (with Aswad), and Ween, and the only one who is forgiven for straying from the Dark Side is Ween, because their giddy get-it-on power-pop (Beacon Light) would sound great on any album. Soul Coughing, Bjork, and the Cure are up to their usual foreboding standards, while Noel Gallaghers trip-hop composition Teotihuacan is absolutely beautiful, and Sarah McLachlans Black has a nice rough edge to it. As a special bonus, Chris Carter himself explains the Mythology at the very end of the disc, which should be enough incentive for any X-Files fan to get ahold of this. Grade: B+
Willie's comments: What happens when you try to bring together the mechanized sterility of bands like Kraftwerk and Devo with the clamor and posturing of punk? It was a question better left unanswered, but XTC regrettably chose to try. Result: A big headache. Frontman Andy Partidges songs here exhibit none of the cleverness or emotion of his later work, instead relying on patchwork guitar scraping and strangled vocals on songs like Meccanic Dancing and Battery Brides (Andy Paints Brian). Are You Receiving Me? is almost universally pointed to as the only highlight on this album, and with good reason- the song is witty and catchy (though occasionally overly frenetic) while everything else just sounds like a noisy mess. (The thumbnail picture above, however, doesn't do justice to what is possibly the most clever album cover of all time.) Grade: D+
Drums and Wires
Willie's comments: Barry Andrews got sick of Andys tyranny after Go2 and split, but even without his distracting (though admittedly unique) keyboard playing, Drums and Wires is pretty much unlistenable. Making Plans for Nigel was a deservedly huge hit, with its weird-yet-accessible tune and sympathetic lyrics, but herky-jerky rhythms and unidentifiable melodies pervade the rest of the album. Its chock full of good ideas- the Tim Burton nursery rhyme of Scissor Man, for example- but then, so are the collected writings of Freud, but that doesnt mean you should ever have to wade through the friggin things. Grade: C
Black Sea
Willie's comments: A year or two ago, I wordlessly dismissed this album (along with Mummer, English Settlement, and The Big Express) with a C+; an action that Rich and Charles rightly scolded me for below. In all honesty, I hadn't paid full attention to these albums while I was listening to them, and I was trying to put together a very frustrating bookcase at the same time, which was irresponsible of me. This summer, I've resolved to actually review these albums in a thoughtful fashion (except Mummer, which I can't seem to find), and let me kick things off by saying that I was totally wrong about Black Sea. It's terrific.
Guitarist Dave Gregory joined the band during Drums and Wires, but he didn't seem to know what to do on that album (possibly because of Partridge's famously dictatorial tendencies). Here, though, his technical skill and ear for a good hook nicely smooth the edges of Andy's rocky new-wave compositions. Songs like "Burning with Optimism's Flames" and "Rocket From a Bottle" might have been more grating musical collisions in the Drums and Wires vein if not for Gregory's blessed ability to create nifty little riffs out of unconventional tunes. Black Sea isn't as melodic as XTC's superb later work, but witty, infectious rockers like "Respectable Street," "Smokeless Zone," and "Generals and Majors" are still required listening, as is the appropriately minimal bonus track "The Somnambulist." (More useless trivia: if you live near Louisville, Kentucky, you can go to the awesome record shop Ear X-Tacy and marvel at a huge, autographed representation of this album's cover hanging above the entrance.) Grade: A-
English Settlement
Willie's comments: Even Gregory's musicianship can't save English Settlement, however. Out of 15 songs, only three contain the skewed lyrical brilliance, infectious songwriting, and intellectual cheek that are XTC's marks of quality: "Senses Working Overtime," "Down in the Cockpit," and "Melt the Guns." The album suffers from Hugh Padgham's poor production, since he lets the repetitive songs go on for much too long and stuffs some songs (most notably "Ball and Chain") with synths that might have sounded nifty in 1982, but just sound corny now. Partridge also performs most of the songs on an acoustic guitar for some reason, which works fine for some quieter songs like "Yacht Dance," but it robs other songs of the electric-fence energy he usually provides. Even some tracks that might be notable in other circumstances, like "Runaways" and "Fly on the Wall," are lost amid the hour-or-so of aimless driftwood here. It goes on forever. Grade: C-
The Big Express
Willie's comments: After English Settlement came Mummer, which my brother seems to have lost and I can remember nothing about, so I'll move on to The Big Express, which finds XTC at a bit of a crossroads. The band had pushed their trademark formula of arty, angular new wave to its breaking point, but they were obviously reluctant to abandon the style by which they'd made a name for themselves. At the same time, though, the band was tentatively dipping its collective toe into a gentler, more mature style that would come to mark the rest of their career. Alternating between these makes The Big Express a bit scrambled- it doesn't even cohere as well as the B-side compilation Rag & Bone Buffet. The significant, late-XTC songs are magnificent, particularly the cynical, apocalyptic eulogy "This World Over," in which Partridge asks, "Will you smile like any mother as you bathe your brand-new twins? Will you sing about the missiles as you dry odd-numbered limbs?" The more familiar, new wave songs are a bit strained, however. Some of them instantly hit their mark, like bassist Colin Moulding's "Wake Up" and Partridge's sea chanty "All You Pretty Girls," but there's more wrong with the annoying "Train Running Low on Soul Coal" and "Shake You Donkey Up" than unique rhythms and cutesy lyrics can fix. The Big Express is far from a failure- if anything, it's a decent bow-out for the "old" XTC- but by the time the album draws to a close, you can practically hear the satisfied sigh of the train on its cover grinding to a halt. Grade: B
Willie's comments: The new, mature XTC really hit their stride with the layered, tuneful masterpiece that is Skylarking. The music, expertly produced by Todd Rundgren, is summery, poppy, and endlessly listenable. Partridge and Gregory play off one another beautifully on songs like Earn Enough for Us and Summers Cauldron, while Moulding holds his songwriting own with the catchy Grass and the Renaissance Festival-ish Sacrificial Bonfire. Partridge has never been better, whether admonishing an unwanted suitor (who he'd eventually marry. Whoops!) in Another Satellite or expressing his benignly cynical worldview in 1000 Umbrellas, but the harrowing theological rant Dear God is easily the single most significant and thoughtful song in the XTC canon. Grade: A
Oranges and Lemons
Willie's comments: The deserved success of Skylarking evidently gave XTC the impetus to try fleshing out their songs a bit more, as they did with some string arrangements in the past. However, XTC went a bit over the top with the polyphonic complexity here- each song sounds like there are a dozen wind-up musicians chattering away on their instruments, each playing their own song. Thats not to say the songs are cacophonous- quite the opposite, songs like Poor Skeleton Steps Out and The Garden of Earthly Delights are exquisitely conducted- but over the course of an entire album, exhaustion and sensory overload begin to set in. Oranges and Lemons couldve been a fun EP, but there are just too many songs to be entirely enjoyable (much like a Beastie Boys album). Apart from the music, the albums so-so. The Mayor of Simpleton has terrific lyrics, but theyre counteracted by the phallic-minded Pink Thing. Grade: B-
Rag & Bone Buffet
Willie's comments: Collecting over 20 B-sides, rarities, and side projects, Rag & Bone Buffet is as generous a compilation as any die-hard XTC fan could hope for. The occasionally numbing musical experimentation (Over Rusty Waters, Cockpit Dance Mixture) wont be everyones cup of tea, but there are lots of songs on here that are plenty good, but obviously wouldnt fit on any album, such as the Broadway new wave of Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen or the smile-inducing Thanks for Christmas. Its jagged and uneven, but lots of fun. Grade: B+
Willie's comments: Paring things down again after the claustrophobia of Oranges and Lemons, Nonsuch is simply 17 of the best pop songs you will ever hear. Producer Gus Dudgeon (who did some of Elton Johns stuff) plays up the grandeur of songs like Wrapped in Grey and the almost balletic Rook without ever becoming campy, while sugar-coating songs like The Ugly Underneath that could very easily become annoying if not for the expert mixing. The Disappointed is another of Andys brilliant love-lost songs, while Colins My Bird Performs and The Smartest Monkeys are deviously infectious. If this album had come out in the early 60s, Nonsuch would be as much a household name as Sgt. Pepper or Pet Sounds. Grade: A+
Upsy Daisy Assortment
Willie's comments: After going on strike for about seven years, XTC released this greatest hits compilation to fulfill their record contract with Virgin Records, and its a good CD to have around. In addition to being a stellar introduction to the bands work by containing masterpieces like The Mayor of Simpleton and Dear God, it allows the listener to own great songs like Making Plans for Nigel and Senses Working Overtime without purchasing the mediocre source albums. Are You Receiving Me? is omitted for some reason, but it wont be missed on this solid collection. Grade: A-
Apple Venus vol. 1
Willie's comments: From the perfectly arranged water drop-and-pizzicato string plunks that open River of Orchids, it should be evident that Apple Venus is going to make a grand statement that XTC is back in a big way. And it doesnt fail. Id Like That is a deleriously happy love song from Andy (Make me grow up really high/ Really high/ Like a really high thing), and on the flip side of the coin, Your Dictionary has Andy spelling obscene words to illustrate a lovers insensitivity. Meanwhile, Colins Frivolous Tonight is so catchy its physically impossible not to bob your head from side to side as you listen to it. A few songs toward the end (Fruit Nut, for example) dont quite reach the exhilarating heights of the first seven songs, but The Last Balloon is one stunning coda. Heres hoping Volume 2 is this great! Grade: A-
Wasp Star: Apple Venus vol. 2
Willie's comments: Well, as the old saying says, hope in one hand and poop in the other, and see which hand fills up first. Maybe that's being a little unfair to the second- and more "rocking"- half of XTC's comeback opus, but even with such stripped-down, catchy numbers as "Church of Women" and "We're All Light," it's hard not to feel a little let down after the grandeur of Volume 1. Since the album was recorded after Gregory's blustery departure, it makes sense that the songs on Wasp Star have less complicated guitar lines and less ornate arrangements than we've become accustomed to (and, perhaps, spoiled by). That poppy spareness works fine on numbers like Moulding's gorgeously simple "Boarded Up" and Partridge's "Stupidly Happy," but songs like "Playground" and "Wounded Horse" lack that extra oomph that they'd require to be truly great. There are far too many sing-songy numbers here, like "In Another Life," and seemingly unfinished numbers ("I'm the Man Who Murdered Love"), too. Fans of the band's earlier work will probably be ecstatic, but to those of us who dig XTC's more recent material, this seems like a step backward. Grade: B-
Coat of Many Cupboards (four-disc box set)
Willie's comments: Ever since 1996's double-disc Fossil Fuel collection, XTC has had an obsession with clearing their musical vaults. 1997's superb Upsy Daisy Assortment was followed by 1998's Transistor Blast (a four-disc sampling of live tracks from the band's performing days), 1999's Homespun (the original demo tapes for Apple Venus vol. 1, which are amusing, albeit redundant) and 2001's Homegrown (the demos for Wasp Star). Coming on the heels of all that- along with a recent campaign of remastered re-releases- the 62-track Coat of Many Cupboards ran the risk of inflicting fans with the surfeit of overindulging at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Amazingly, though, this four-disc set is a treat for diehards and, prohibitive pricetag aside, new converts alike. The set includes generous samplings from XTC's entire Virgin Records career, from a demo of the early single "Science Friction" to Nonsuch, but rather than focusing on "greatest hits" reselling of old favorites, the box mostly consists of alternate takes, unreleased tracks, live recordings, and demos of more familiar songs. "Dear God"? It's here, but in an eerie band demo that appends an extra verse and a guitar break that should've been left in. "All You Pretty Girls"? Yup, we get to hear Andy stumbling through a hilariously off-key intro to this home recording. "Life Begins at the Hop"? Take your pick from three working versions, none of which is the single recording most fans are familiar with. Rather than dragging these songs down the way the Beatles' ill-executed Anthology series did, with poor sound quality and flat performances, many of XTC's early songs are improved by the straightforward demo run-throughs, as opposed to the disorienting production of their first three studio records. (Good thing, too, because the only flaw in this compilation is that it's rather top-heavy with White Music, Go2, and Drums and Wires-era material.)
All that is very interesting for XTC completists, sure, but what makes Coat of Many Cupboards an essential purchase is how consistently listenable it all is (as opposed to the off-putting "psychotic fans only" excess of, say, Guided by Voices' Suitcase). The handful of album tracks that have been included here aren't the band's big hits, but rather are oft-overlooked songs that benefit from being highlighted away from their original context. (As stated above, English Settlement's "Fly on the Wall" reveals itself as a charmer when it's not surrounded by that album's gassy filler, while it's nice to see Drums and Wires' sparkling "Ten Feet Tall" finally get its due.) The unreleased tracks are, too, as contagious in their slap-happy catchiness as most of the band's proper output. "Fireball XL5" is a tribute to ? and the Mysterians-esque psych-pop that's a peerless joy to listen to, for example, and "Terrorism," "Didn't Hurt a Bit," and even the Barry Andrews-penned "Us Being Us" are prime XTC. The band's glut of ancilliary material in the past five years might seem like an obsequious apology for their lengthy silence in the '90s, and for those of us who thought that Apple Venus vol. 1 was worth the wait, perhaps an unnecessary one. Still, it's nice to see our patience rewarded with a career retrospective as lovingly assembled and flawlessly enjoyable as this one. Grade: A
Rich Bunnell writes: Regarding XTC's pre-Skylarking work, I realize that they didn't begin reaching streamlined musicality until that album, but the idea of calling the Black Sea album "inessential"(and Big Express too, but I'm seemingly alone in liking that one a lot) is beyond my comprehension. I once could only bring myself to enjoy the later work, throwing off anything before as jerky and irritating(for example, "Respectable Street," which I once hated but now worship), but soon the early albums just really started to appeal to me. Except for the band's debut "White Music," which is just a mediocre, messy album which even Partridge himself disowns.
I'm not gonna chastise you, though, for not caring a lot for the early work because the early XTC and later XTC are really in essence two different bands, and not everyone can bring themselves to like both. I've met some people on the internet who claim that everything past Andy's departure from touring (that being the English Settlement album) is mediocre--basically the opposite of your standpoint. It's good that you subscribe to the "Apple Venus 1 is good" group rather than the "Apple Venus 1 is boring and disjointed" group, though--my only objection with the album is that Colin could've spent a bit more time with his songwriting.
(Added 5/26/00): Awwww, come on! I saw this coming a mile away. Seriously, I was waiting for this review to come up because I knew that it would be a review disappointed with the album. Sometimes it really seems like you're working against these bands instead of with them. Wasp Star is great! I really don't get your descriptions of two of the songs-- first off, "Playground" is AMAZING. The song doesn't need extra "oomph," it's absolutely nothing BUT "oomph." It's become practically my official summer theme song-- it's catchy, it has a great riff and full, breathing production, great lyrics (except for all of the dumb rhymes in the chorus), this is possibly one of my favorite XTC songs of all time. As for "I'm The Man Who Murdered Love," it sounds perfectly finished to me-- it's meant to sound like a huge, off-the-cuff singalong, and the lyrics are absolutely hilarious. And what about "The Wheel And The Maypole"? One of the band's top 5, no doubt. An absolutely amazing, catchy opus of pure greatness. Two completely different songs merged into one like they were meant to be that way from conception (which they weren't), and they're each catchy in their own right!
I'm glad that you like "Stupidly Happy" and "Boarded Up" though (too many fans are acting superficial and slamming the songs for being "too repetitive"--gee, really? Well, then, they must SUCK, despite atmosphere and quality and other factors like that), and a B- is still above average, though just barely. It just sort of irks me that you give this the same grade as They Might Be Giants' album of throwaway 2-minute MP3 songs, even though this had a lot more time and energy involved. I really can't see how this compares to the band's early work-- it sort of just sounds like a rocking version of "Oranges & Lemons" to me. The only songs that disappoint me are "Some Lovely"(an absolutely -gorgeous- song on Andy's Hello EP marred here by clunky add-ons like crunchy guitar) and "Wounded Horse"(not the kind of material the band's suited for, though I like Colin's "Back in the saddle!" part). I really wish that Andy had put "Ship Trapped In The Ice" and "I Don't Wanna Be Here" onto the album, they were two of his most promising demos but they sadly got thrown in the crapper. Anyway, I didn't give my grades for the band's albums the first time around, so here goes: White Music: C-, Go 2: B, Drums & Wires: A-, Black Sea: A+, English Settlement: A-, Mummer: C+, Big Express: A, Skylarking: A, Oranges & Lemons: A-, Nonsuch: A-, AV1: A-, Wasp Star: A.
Best band ever. At least, in my little pretentious quirky-nerd-pop loving world, but who'd want to live in any other?!?
Charles Oliver (from Australia) writes: I've just read your reviews on the various XTC albums and wonder if the USA versions of the albums are the same as the ones I own. My versions of Black Sea, English Settlement and The Big Express are truly 'essential' recordings with a capital 'E'. In fact, Black Sea is probably a favourite amongst many XTC fans and is a good starting point for new listeners. I'd advise listeners to steer clear of the first 2 albums and the strange Mummer - everything else though is great! Can't fathom how an XTC album can have too many songs on it (Oranges & Lemons) - too much XTC ain't enough in my book. You found Drums & Wires unlistenable? - maybe after too much Chemical Brothers it was . Sorry, I'm with Rich Bunnell on this one - good onya Rich !
For the record, here's MY ratings for their albums :- White Music D+, Go 2 C-, Drums & Wires B+ , Black Sea A+, English Settlement A-, Mummer D+, The Big Express A-, Skylarking A+ , Nonsuch A+ , Oranges & Lemons A-, Apple Venus, Vol 1 A-, Wasp Star B+ (still making my mind up about this one).
Richard Armenio writes: well it's just incredible that i discovered XTC about 20 years ago in the south of france with the black sea album; since then, i still can't help looking for a new XTC album each time i go in a music store even though i know i've already bought all of them and i will have to wait maybe a long time for a new one!
In one way i'm as excited as if i was waiting for the sergeant pepper's album,or the village green society !
On the other way, it seems andy and colin are old friends we won't never forget or let down, even if it may sounds awfully stupid or childish because we ain't really know much about you, WE kind of love you guys (is that correct?)
p-s: i won't never forget the people clapping once iwas testing the sound before a concert ,singing:"LEI...EI..EISURE...if you think i'm clowning.."
John Schlegel writes: Great stuff; truly sublime, masterfully-crafted pop. Like you, I am definitely a bigger enthusiast of their 'second phase,' or studio-bound work. I love new wave, and the band's earlier albums produced some phenomenal moments, but their material from Skylarking onward is just so unbelievably gorgeous and engaging. I have to disagree about English Settlement though; one of my favorite XTC albums. Yes, the production is a little flat, and the record is too long. However, I think the song-for-song quality of the LP is outstanding. I can't say the meandering "Melt the Guns" or even any of the singles are my favorites, but "Runaways," "Jason and the Argonauts," "All of a Sudden (It's Too Late)," "Down in the Cockpit," and "Snowman" are all masterpieces! I think English Settlement was a real compositional and melodic milestone for the band, and as such it really foreshadowed their second incarnation. I am also one of those rare fans of The Big Express; again, we have questionable production, but most of the songs are gems in disguise (C'mon--"You're the Wish You Are I Had" is one of the catchiest songs in the band's canon!). I can't say Nonsvch is my favorite XTC album, but it certainly has some bright material. A strange and eclectic band to like, I know, and they're lyrics are often heavy-handed and pretentious. But XTC's music is some frighteningly addictive stuff.
email@example.com writes: You gotta be kidding! Amidst the plethora of intelligent and open-minded reviews on this site, I am shocked to find the classic English Settlement slapped with a "C" rating. Maybe the reviewer didn't play it loud enough? I find it hard to imagine a long road trip without this album.
Rick Atbert writes: Surprised you don't like "Drums and Wires". "Black Sea" is a better album, but "Drums and Wires" isn't far behind, especially if you count the song "Life Begins at the Hop" as part of it. "English Settlement" I also disagree with you on...maybe you haven't listened to it enough (first time I did, I couldn't pick out anything I really liked...for me all I wanted to hear was another song like "Generals and Majors"), or maybe you legitimately don't like it, but I think it's excellent. Likewise, you have a lot of respect for "Nonsuch" while I personally find it morose and boring. And Skylarking should be an A+! :)

Rod Steele writes: Very nice XTC reviews. However...I was in John F's "Hello" Club, so I have the Andy Partridge disc. Ugh, D+ at best. I remember being really disappointed when it finally arrived in the mail. But the rest of your XTC calls were pretty good, so maybe I'll dig it out of the pile and give it another try.
Two things:
1) I didn't care much for "Pink Thing," either, until a friend informed me that the real, or other, "pink thing" was his infant son, Harry. Pretty clever, eh?
2) "Your Dictionary" was aimed squarely at his ex-wife. I recalled hearing or reading somewhere that his daughter wasn't too keen on it, so I Googled around and found this:
Q: One track on the album that's drawing a lot of attention is "Your Dictionary," which is a pretty caustic rebuke directed towards your ex-wife. Has she heard it?
Andy: Oh, no. No! I played it to my daughter, who's 13, and she said, "Daddy, you can't let Mummy hear this. She's gonna die." I said, "Well, look, I didn't write it to hurt your mum. I wrote it because I was upset, and I had to let the pus out in some way. I had to pull the cork out of the top of my head and let just let some of this evil out of my head or else I was going to go crazy." She said, "Well, just don't let her hear it. I won't take a copy home with me, and don't let her hear it. It'll destroy her." But, as I said, I didn't write it for that reason. I wrote it as some therapeutic thing for me.
A Testimonial Dinner- XTC tribute album
Ginny's comments: XTC is a legendary band that has influenced bands worldwide. Although the intitial line-up for this seems less than palatable, (Okay, Crash Test Dummies and Rembrandts I can stomach, but Verve Pipe!? Sarah McLachlan?!?) these B-movie equivolent bands pull through quite well, thank you. Except Sarah McLachlan, who gave "Dear God" a hypocritical spin that didn't ever need to happen. However, this album is surprisingly nice to listen to- it even offers geek-friendly gems like They Might Be Giants and Spacehog. Oh- and XTC contributes to this dinner, too under a pseudonym, of course. Grade: B+
Willie's comments: I question whether a couple of these bands are actually XTC fans or if they were just asked to do this tribute album for no real reason. We know the Crash Test Dummies are big XTC fans because theyve made a career out of low-grade XTC rip-offs (luckily, their jaunty version of "All You Pretty Girls" on here is well-done), but P. Hux ("Another Satellite") and, God help us, The Verve Pipe ("Wake Up") seem grungily out-of-place on this compilation full of tuneful bands. Almost everyone is fairly faithful to the original versions here, with a few minor tweaks- They Might Be Giants add Arabic keyboards to the already psychedelic "25 OClock," and Joe Jackson turns in a stellar, bass-propelled "Statue of Liberty," while Reuben Blades turns "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" into a full-on Salsa fiesta. The Rembrandts version of "Making Plans for Nigel" is virtually identical to the original, and therefore, its good even though it lays bare the Brandts lack of talent. No one is more deserving of a tribute album than XTC, so its nice to see that some effort was actually put into this one. Grade: B+
Rich Bunnell writes: Funny--- this surpasses all but three of XTC's releases? I really don't care for it at all, with three exceptions: They Might Be Giants' wonderful, if non-psychadelic take on "25 O'Clock," Ruben Blades' really cool big-band version of "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul," and of course XTC themselves who cameo with a remake of "The Good Things," one of the absolute coolest songs they've ever made. I don't care for anything else, however-- too loud and annoying most of the time (the Verve Pipe and Spacehog covers in particular) or just uninteresting (Joe Jackson, even though I like the guy normally, really does nothing at all to "Statue Of Liberty" besides sing it in a normal voice). I'd give this one a C- or a D+, though I'd lean towards the latter because "The Good Things" is so wonderful.
Steve Johnson writes: Wrong. The only song worth including on this compilation (other than XTC's inclusion) is "Dear God." It's better than the original. Okay, maybe I'd include Joe Jackson as well. But the rest of these artists should concentrate on recording some decent songs of their own. None of them can hold a candle to XTC.
Todd Kopec writes: I thouroghly enjoyed ALL of the bands' interpretations of XTC's music. All of you are WAY to critical. And to say the bands may have been asked for no reason...ridiculous.

Maximum Overdrive: The Threat of Commercial Trucking Emissions
The construction of the Interstate Highway System, which began in 1956, ushered the United States into an era of unchecked automobile expansion. Products and goods once transported via railway were now able to be moved from place to place by semi-truck trailers. This revolution in transportation methods allowed industries to exert far greater control over the dissemination of their products. People living in towns far from traditional transportation hubs were now connected by the highway system, and companies were able to distribute a greater variety of products to different locales. As the cost of transporting these goods shrunk, the amount of commercial transportation naturally increased, and today it is estimated that over 15.5 million commercial trucks are currently operating on U.S. roadways.
Today, with the world finally coming to terms with the threat of global climate change, people are searching for ways to limit the emission of greenhouse gases. The overwhelming majority of these emissions are produced by automobiles and their internal combustion engines. Simply put, the burning of gasoline and the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is threatening the environment on an unimaginable scale. As regulations begin to take effect to curb automobile emissions, semi-trucks roll onward, burning fuel at unprecedented levels. The number of trucks used in commercial transportation (both single unit and tractor trailer combination) rose 37 % between 1980 and 2002, increasing from 5.8 million to 7.9 million. In a world increasingly concerned about fuel consumption, the trucking industry accounts for 12.8% of all the fuel purchased in the U.S.
The problem, however, is not that trucks are transporting goods; it is that they are doing so in an extremely inefficient fashion. While automobile companies are increasingly focused on fuel efficiency, the average semi-truck trailer traversing American roadways today gets a meager 6 miles to the gallon. Consider that number, 6 miles per gallon, for a moment. In a country like the United States, where 80 % of communities receive their goods exclusively by truck, this is simply unacceptable. When combined with the recent rise in fuel costs, which leads directly to a rise in the cost of goods shipped by truck, our reliance on the trucking industry is putting a strain on both the economy and the environment.
Big rig semi-truck trailers are by far the leading contributor to U.S. emission levels. Measured in emissions per ton-mile, domestic freight movement has become increasingly CO2 intensive since 1990, in contrast to passenger sources, which have produced fewer CO2 emissions per passenger mile. This means that the trucking industry is consuming more fuel than any other, while simultaneously burning that fuel with the least efficiency. While regulations targeting automobile emissions are beginning to take effect, their benefits are being canceled out by the increase in semi-truck transportation. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) recently provided the Bush administration with a legal basis to allow millions of trucks to enter the U.S. from Mexico to deliver goods. These trucks are not required by law to conform to U.S. emissions standards, effectively counteracting any emissions reductions influenced by new regulations. In fact, the NAFTA/Mexican Truck Emissions Overview conducted in late 2004 revealed that "66% of the Mexican truck fleet is 1993 model year and older (1993 was when the diesel engine fleet was close to 100% electronic conversion, which means that engines built in 1993 and later typically use electronic fuel injection and computer controls to reduce emissions, improve performance and fuel economy)." Even more alarming is the overview's assessment that "25% of the Mexican truck fleet is pre 1980 model year, running on engines which emit very high levels of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions on average." These figures clearly suggest that our country is literally curbing emissions with one hand and increasing them with another, while the planet continues to suffer the consequences of global climate change.
While the outlook is admittedly bleak, there has been an increased awareness on the part of the federal government in regards to trucking emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency has adopted strict new emission standards for on-road heavy-duty vehicles that took effect beginning in 2007. Under these new standards, both Nitrogen Oxide and Particulate Matter emissions must be ten times lower than 2004 levels, and the 2007 standards represent a 25-fold reduction compared to emission standards in the early 1990's. The ATA (American Trucking Association) has even implemented the 'Green Truck' program, which is a voluntary avenue for truckers to learn about emissions standards, retrofit their equipment for increased efficiency, and explore alternative fueling options. However, one pressing question remains: are these efforts enough?
Consider that the emission standard improvements described above apply only to new vehicles in the year of their manufacture. There are currently no emission standards that apply to in-use vehicles, other than some state regulations on exhaust smoke opacity. Previously manufactured semi-trucks pose the greatest concern because they rely on outdated technology and are even less fuel-efficient than their modern counterparts. Astoundingly, older trucks produced during the 80's and 90's get only 4 miles to the gallon, while burning diesel fuel that pollutes the atmosphere in greater concentrations than regular gasoline. For an industry that averages 250 miles per trucking trip, 4 miles of transport for every gallon burned is dangerously irresponsible.
Other trucking industry practices also add to the air pollution epidemic, particularly the fact that drivers are encouraged by trucking companies to leave their rigs idling overnight for heating or cooling purposes. Drivers consider their trucks to be their homes during extended long-haul trips, and idling allows them to maintain a comfortable environment when not driving. Despite increased efforts to reduce idling times and their unnecessary emissions the habit has become engrained in trucking culture and change has been slow in coming. Although the trucking industry is vital to the national economy, a stubborn refusal to adapt technologically has left it trailing far behind other producers of harmful emissions when it comes to addressing global climate change. Today it is clear that trucking is one of the leading contributors to our current environmental crisis. Industry-wide reforms must be undertaken immediately to reduce trucking emissions across the nation.

Psychologization of preschool education in the works of O.M. Dyachenko (to the 70th anniversary of the birth) 653
Smirnova E.O.
Klopotova E.E.
The article presents the contribution of the Russian scientist, doctor of sciences, professor, corresponding member of RAO Olga Mikhailovna Dyachenko in child psychology and pre-school education. "Psychologization" of education and the involvement of psychology in educational practice permeate all her work. As a student of L. A. Wenger, she together with him and his staff became the сreator of the original educational program "Development" O.M. Dyachenko is the сreator of the original psychological concept of the creative imagination of the preschooler. It has developed a diagnostic methodology for assessing the level of development of the imagination, which today is the basis for assessing the imagination and is widely used in practical work and research. O.M. Dyachenko identified and distinguished two types and two types of imagination — cognitive and emotional. With emotional imagination, children often use symbols of their experiences, which are originally borrowed from culture, and then created independently. O.M. Dyachenko describes the stages of development of imagination, which are only the possibilities of each age, which are not always realized. In this regard, there was a direction associated with the "pedagogy of preschool imagination". Forms of work with children have been developed that contribute to the development of creative abilities of children. As a result of the conducted researches the program "Gifted child" has appeared, allowing to carry out educational work with gifted senior preschoolers.

I am still working understanding why my TSM DB continues to grow and
think I may have come upon something. I have many retention policies in
the management class for all my file servers. The goal was to keep most
data for only 90 days after it was deleted and to keep 90 versions if it
was a file that would be updated daily.
Incremental backups are run nightly. TSM is AIX 5.3 and TSM 4.2.7. The
file servers are mostly W2K with backup-restore client 5.1.x - 5.3.x.
My expiration runs successfully daily but I believe what is happening is
the majority of data being expired are the files that are overwritten
daily. It looks to me like the files that someone overwrites once or
twice lives out in TSM forever, certainly beyond the 90 days I was
expecting it to be there.
Here are my management classes. Is the unlimited "retain extra
versions" overriding my 90 days in the primary management class ?
Any help would be appreciated.
The default management class is defined as:
versions data exist: unlimited
versions data deleted: 9
retain extra versions: 9
retain only version: 9
The primary management class used (95% of all data)
versions data exist: unlimited
versions data deleted: 90
retain extra versions: 90
retain only version: 90
The 2 long retention management classes are:
versions data exist: unlimited
versions data deleted: 366
retain extra versions: 366
retain only version: 366
versions data exist: unlimited
versions data deleted: unlimited
retain extra versions: unlimited
retain only version: unlimited

MALLORCA'S capital of Palma has become the latest holiday destination to crackdown on anti-social behaviour, with a series of new rules for tourists.
The city's council has approved a "Regulation Ordinance for the civic use of public spaces to improve coexistence in leisure areas."
The measures include a ban on streaking, balconing, bottle parties in the street and the sale of laughing gas.
Revellers caught breaking the rules will face hefty fines and possible prosecution.
Palma's mayor, Antoni Noguera, said: "We must intervene against the excesses that have alcohol at their heart and that give Palma a bad image."
The regulations pave the way for the creation of Zones of Special Tourist Interest (ZEIC) to act more forcefully in various entertainment areas.
Breaches will be punishable by fines of between €100 and €3,000, and more than 120 police officers a day are now patrolling Palma's tourist zones.

Ogre, welcome.
The VZ is a better gun than many give it credit for, typical Czech.
The only real complaints are the price of magazines and the light barrel, for the high volume shooters.
As to AR's, buy your receivers (lower) now and build them as you can. PSA has sales regularly on cosmetic blemished lowers for $50 each.
Once you have the initial firearm sorted out, I'd recommend working on 2 months good and water before another gun.
Not knowing where you are, I won't advise on a handgun. But I would start putting $10 a week back for one, by the time you're legal to purchase one, you'll have enough saved for a good one, a spare, ammo and some training.
Food, water and meds aren't romantic or exciting, but they are necessary. Having to do it over again, from your age I would focus on them heavily after the initial defense gun (s).

Re: On SXSW and Harassment
I'd wager it's the same group of 30 or so freshman Twitter trolls who are responsible for 80 percent of all the recent "new bigoted hashtag" articles, site hacks, swattings and death/bomb threats in the nerd culture wars, with probably a core of 5 or 6 who do the actual dirty work. I dunno how long these investigations usually take: they're not stupid enough to brag in any place in which they can be identified, but they're not so careful with details of personal lives that the FBI wouldn't be able find them.

Re: On SXSW and Harassment
I wish the organizers of these events would call the harasser's bluff and hold the events. I understand not doing it because of liability, but, as someone who has had more than one live bomb found at an event my employers have organized, the only way to get this shit to stop is to defy the threats.

news: major works
Image: 'Swarm', Canson, board and hand-made Spanish paper, punch-work. 60 cm x 60 cm (framed)
It's that time of the year again, when in schools across the state thousands of brave and enthusiastic souls embark upon their final year of studies and creative endeavours in Visual Arts or Design & Technology. A vital component of these subjects is the deliberately extended engagement with a project based Major Work and it has frequently been observed that, for a multiplicity of reasons, it is seldom too early to start!
Image: Tim Winters exhibition design
As a practicing visual artist myself, I recognise that every creator is different and every artwork is unique, bringing unique challenges but also unique rewards. Perhaps though it is the experience born of my 25 years as an exhibition designer – working in the cultural and historical realms, and my time as a youth worker – running drop-in centres for disadvantaged teens, that best qualifies me for this particular role of Major Work Mentor. I have witnessed first hand (including with my own son) the challenges that these projects can present and the impact they can have upon the students' hopes and ambitions, self-esteem and morale. More particularly, I am very accustomed to striving not to satisfy my own personal creative agenda, but to allow that to be subservient to the desires, intents and simple, pragmatic practicalities of the exhibition curator, the institutional objectives, the conservation requirements, the funding bodies, the corporate sponsors and ultimately of course, the viewing public – for whom the experience must be both informative and rewarding – a simple pleasure.
Image: 'Horatius', portrait photograph
For a number of years I had the very great privilege to work with the team responsible for selecting and displaying students' submitted bodies of work within the ArtExpress exhibitions. This was both intensely rewarding, but also frequently frustrating when witnessing works by students with very clear ability and commitment, but lacking only some small elements that could have taken their work and their sense of achievement to the next level – due simply to a lack of experience or a kind and informed word of advice and support from someone with greater knowledge or familiarity with the task they have set themselves.
Image: 'The Good Person of Setzuan', stage design
Simple strategies to break the task into achievable milestones; learning to take a step back and consider their process and results from an objective viewpoint; researching and embracing new or unfamiliar materials; seeking advice or examples of alternative approaches or presentation techniques; all these and more can truly help your child find their unique creative contribution and help them feel they have truly optimised their ultimate outcome.

Kev!'s 77105: Kagunk, Ogre ChieftainHowdy, All Reaper this week... Kev! P.S. With that pale complexion he had to be tough...
Kagunk, Ogre Chieftan 77105Finished this up late last night. Probably my favorite fig I've painted to date. There are a ton of little details all over, but since the fig is bigger than average, it was pretty easy to paint. I went with a green skin tone because my next planned adventure features a large mutant orc, so this fig worked perfectly for the brute. Critiques and advice are always welcome! Thank you!
Grayfax posted a topic in Works In ProgressFinished with my latest show and will have at least two months before I'm in another. Figured out that having a nice hobby room all to myself didn't work so well as my wife would find things for me to do so that I didn't go in there and leave her feeling alone. Moved my big painting desk back out into the living room so progress should be fine and if she leaves, she's not upset about it. I had last stopped working on Yagun Oog well over a month ago, so I didn't want to try to jump back in on him right away. Last week saw the Hangout Mini of the Month was another ogre, Kagunk, so I ordered him and he arrived yesterday in the mailbox. After the show finished, I broke him open and began removing mold lines and smoothing things out. For a while it seemed this was going to take several days, but soon I was back in the rhythm and by the time I write this he is ready for a washing. As you can see, he is slightly large. In fact, I had to go scrounging in the cabinets to find something I could put him on to paint him. The jeweler's vice would sort of work, but without a tab that is problematic. Nope, he is going to get a glass jar of high quality olives and a lot of white-tack. He will see brown liner or primer tomorrow! Also going to have to figure out a base for him as the large 50 cm rounds I had donated by Jasper the 2nd are not quite big enough. He may get a slice of a cedar limb, we'll see...
77105: Kagunk, Ogre Chieftain
FireElemental posted a topic in Show OffI wouldn't actually post this mini if it wasn't for the RP Challege. I started this at ReaperCon 2014 for Wappel's Shaded Basecoat class. I could never motivate myself to finish it. I finally slapped some more paint on it to call it done. I am happy to have it no longer in my to do pile.
Kagunk, Ogre ChieftainThis is the only mini I got to work on last week. I like that there is a lot of fun detail in the mini, but there were lots lof little pock marks --- the left chest was particularly bad. Most of that his hidden by his shield. I haven't sealed him yet; I hope he looks a little smoother after I do. I think I overdid the highlighting on the blue straps on his shins and feet; I wanted the strappy texture to stand out. I'm pretty happy with how the shield turned out; both front and back. The shield was the first time I had to glue a mini together. Can you tell how messy I was with the super glue? I ended up using a lot, because the shield was supposed to have two nubs to fit into holes in the straps for gluing, but one of the nubs was missing. I'm not at the point of being comfortable with pinning or anything yet. I like the skulls and the monster head in the bad. I think it came out pretty good. Thanks for looking! Any comments are appreciated!

What is the perfect time to go to California Screamin' & Big Thunder Railroad & Hall of Presidents?
City: Los Angeles
State: California
Country: United States
Disneyland and California Adventures is always crowded during the summer months. If you can avoid weekends and go during the week would be the better time to go especially during the spring before the summer crowds arrive.
All of these Disneyland, Anaheim CA venues are top draw. Because of demand lines can often be long. Naturally the best time to visit the ever popular Disneyland is mid-week and not during any school holidays. That said, one can always take advantage of the Disney private VIP guides to receive special entree. These muides must be reserved in advance and though costly are the icing on the yummy cake that is The Park.

How crude-oil prices influence gasoline prices
Green Car Congress
Thus, the price of crude oil should have a strong influence on the price of gasoline. However, the retail price of gasoline includes other costs as well. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in the United States from 2008 to 2017, crude oil represented only 61% of the retail price of gasoline. Gasoline prices are also influenced by gasoline demand relative to gasoline supply. by Michael Sivak.
