Something Beginning With 'X'.....

You could always cheat and go the Roman numeral route...

"X" - Main (from 'Firmament II') "X" (or "XI", "XII") - Alfred Schnittke ('Psalms of Repentance')

or perhaps, "X-02" - KK Null ('Extasy of Zero-G Sex')

or even (and how did you forget this?)... "Xylophone Track" - The Magnetic Fields

Oops, should have looked before I leapt there Tom. I think you should do what they do in animal alphabet books. When they get to X they do Ox - because it has an x in it. Then you could to Living in a BoX by Living In A Box.

not much help, eh?

Maybe you could cheat and go with dmX, though of course he's already been deconstructed and dissected (in a spirit of combined terror and awe) by someone sitting not too far away from here :).

"Xylophone Track" would be the easiest option, and probably the best. Oh, and Mark - "Xanadu" was actually a *collaboration* (why do I know these things?) between Olivia Newton-John and ELO, so presumably written by Jeff Lynne ...

That "Ox" thing is a bloody scandal. Sigue Sigue Sputnik did "XX Sex", at least I think it was them, but I really can't be arsed to dig out my SSS tape and check.

Anyway, you'll find out today.

Ah but Tom, it's Saturday and we still haven't found out! Lackadaisical is not the word :).

Ah, but we *do* know now. Incidentally, Tom, I think your review of "Xylophone Track" is one of the best pieces of writing I've read on the Magnetic Fields, the richness and perfection of their *sound* (which I agree is often overlooked).
