That is an ever-present show idea since last year, and I did play all of Oranges and Lemons here once. I think what has held me back is that I only have the later CD's. My early XTC is missing or on vinyl. I wanted to do their material justice.

Andy Partidge has been doing a myspace blog weekly, parsing one song a week. It's great stuff. Add them if you can Roger, and read his stuff, it's great.

I just read his verbose Amazon interview, and am considering the nine (!) disc box set of demos he has out.

What a talent!
