XTC OP10

Eye don't hate Billy Corgan. Eye have never met Billy Corgan. As a matter 'o' fact, eye rate a lot 'o' his music. However, eye would gladly spend a week in Partridge's company, whereas with Corgan eye think eye would last about five minutes be4 he began 2 annoy the shit out 'o' me.

yeah I would love to hang out with Andy and play his homemade board games or geek out about oddball psych records or whatever. Corgan seems like he would be such an uptight domineering jerk.

well I agree with you both there :)

Don't really go along with the idea that Andy Partridge is some great guy tbh.

There r no electronics on Mummer

What's this then?

analog synthesizers

(is my guess, not sure what the gear specifically is tbh)

Okay, so they used a Mellotron and a Prophet 5 2 add some colour. Hardly 'Pug' or 'Appels + Oranjes' is it?

Don't forget *consults Wikipedia* Steve Nye - mini-korg on "Wonderland".

me neither. he comes off like a stubborn git

Yeah, 'Wonderland' has a lot 'o' keyboards on it, but use 'o' drum machines and synths is far, far more prominent on Adore.

Last time eye heard Adore eye was struck by how lacking in warmth it is. Even the portions 'o' the record that r acoustic guitar-led or piano-led sound quite cold. If Corgan was trying 2 make a warm and intimate record, he failed miserably.

Uptight and domineering will do fine for me. (xp)

As Shakey says, eye can imagine an evening with Partridge 2 be quite a fun one... geeking out on psych records or checking out his homemade board games. Eye reckon U wouldn't even need 2 really talk about XTC. Whereas Corgan, eye expect he'd want U 2 kiss his arse 4 the duration and would get upset if U didn't.

Noted Corgan defender Flappy Bird branding Partridge a "stubborn git" is priceless whichever way U slice it.

they're both stubborn gits
