XTC for the band asks !! <3

am i a fan? they are my favourite band, so naturally 😌

first song i heard by them? i have distinct memories of my dad playing making plans for nigel, helicopter, and senses working overtime when i was a kid, so it probably was one of those

favourite song? down in the cockpit, church of women, living through another cuba, mayor of simpleton, wrapped in grey

favourite album? not to be a boomer but skylarking is genuinely as close to perfection as i can possibly conceive. one of the most albums of all time actually

favourite music video? mayor of simpleton <33 i love seeing them actually having fun in a mv and being silly with each other

have any merch: *cracks knuckles* ok here we go.

music: i have all their albums on vinyl up to (and including) nonsuch as well as waxworks and beeswax; the 2016 skylarking boxset; some weird japanese black sea era ep on vinyl; apple venus volume 1 & 2 on cd; love on a farmboy's wages, great fire & mayor of simpleton 12" singles; senses working overtime, all you pretty girls, sgt rock & mayor of simpleton 7" singles

apparel: i have a shirt with the oranges and lemons era xtc logo on it as well as an xtc bumper book shirt; a drums and wires pin

other: the 2018 xtc calendar; i also have various xtc books including complicated game, the xtc bumper book of fun for boys and girls, & what do you call that noise? an xtc discovery book (and i'm featured in that one !!)

seen them live? (pained laughter) no. but i've seen the local tribute band, scarecrow people, a couple of times and they are incredible

favourite member? i love them all but of course i have a soft spot for andy :')

send me a band!
