Oops, how could I forget Moley and The Cleveland Pier? If ever there was an example of how an interest in music can change your lives, they are it. They came to stay at my house for a weekend about 3 years ago; happily in love and now settled in Tasmania, thanks to Andy Partridge. As I said, a fascinating social experiment....

I'm Andy and I live near the McLaren place where sticks worked. I joined Idea in 2003 (I think) and was a very irregular contributor to old back porch and APE. I got into XTC when an old girlfriend (well she was young at the time) gave me a copy of English Settlement and the Sgt Rock single because she didn't like them (she wasn't my girlfriend for long).
I've met many Forummers at events in Swindon and London and they seem mostly harmless. I'm a bad keyboard player and a worse guitarist but I do record stuff. It used to be my own songs but mostly covers these days (currently Longfellow Serenade by Neil Diamond. No I don't know why either). And I once sold a multi-tracker to trentbasin but it blew up.
Did Trentbasin say what he was actually trying to do to the multitracker at the time? Plus, I do hope I was considered one of the mostly harmless. I really regret the incident with Stickymoan in Soho, and giving your name to the policeman. No hard feelings, eh! The policeman was very nice and we've been married these past 7 years. I like his handcuffs.

My goodness, I was just thinking about Moley (and Purtle and other long lost forummers) after a trip to the WayBack machine/old Idea forum. How lovely for them both.

Hello.
I have just found this site via Facebook. Was on the idea and backporch rooms. From Calgary, Canada where there was a somewhat large XTC following. Went to the Calgary Meeting with randomy and girlfriend, the late saturnboy and staggerlee some years ago and had a few laughs! I am almost ready to retire so may be visiting more!

Hi, I'm Introvertigo. I'm an XTC fan. If you aren't an XTC fan, why are you here?

It makes me happy/sad to go through this thread and see all those who no longer post.
I'm an XTC fan too, and music in general makes existence more bearable.

Facebook killed the XTC forums. The pursuit of shiny things rarely works out. Instant gratification but in the long term empty emotions. Hey Ho.
