Now to find the holy grail: the actual MUSIC VIDEO for this song.

-- and good lord, all of them are really exciting, especially in terms of being reminded how good these guys were in terms of instrumental skill. It's even better if you know these songs well: e.g., above and beyond Dave Gregory's incredible lead on "Scissor Man," Colin and Andy start throwing in vocal and guitar harmonies that aren't on the recorded version. Same goes for D.G.'s lead embellishments on "Helicopter."

Also about XTC - yeah they really blew my mind last night - there are quite a few XTC live videos on YouTube. And I confess, even though it was not post-punk at all, the one that moved me the most was "King For A Day" live on David Letterman 1989.

I've never even heard of the X-Teens, I'm really impressed. I've heard of Sandii & The Sunsetz, though. I'm amazed how much that lady looks like Kate Bush. I like the music too. I'll try to track down more of these bands. Thanks ILXors! I <3 you.

AAAAAAAH! David Sylvian recorded with Sandii & The Sunsetz????? OMG I am going to have an orgasm. Oh god. Oh god. What in the living hell.

Bimble, thought you might get a kick out of the X-Teens. They were early-80s cult heroes in North Carolina. They put out a couple of singles & some albums produced by Don Dixon & Mitch Easter who of course went on to much greater fame producing REM's early work.
― that's not my post, Sunday, 24 May 2009 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link
BTW, Don Dixon did some great new wave / power pop as a performer in the early 80s. Search Praying Mantis & Skin Deep. Lots of similarities to Nick Lowe's early 80s work.
