Seemingly my dad's favourite Andy Partridge song #XTCmusic

@xtclisteningparty.bsky.socialSep 16, 2026, 8:11 PM

... and here's the music video for You're A Good Man, Albert Brown. #XTCmusic

Brainiac's Daughter, appeals to the whimsical pop side of me and my not especially inner comic book geek too. Tried to make it a Noisebox Anthem, maybe next year. #XTCmusic

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, ALBERT BROWN (CURSE YOU, RED BARREL) - This song, which was also released as a single, was inspired by Andy's granddad, the aforementioned Albert Brown. #XTCmusic

Cover of The Dukes of Stratosphear's single, You're A Good Man, Albert Brown. Green background with an old illustration of an army man pointing out at the viewer, but his collar, cuffs, hat, hair and eyes have 'psychedelic' colours.Newspaper clipping from Halifax Evening Courier - 15 Aug 1987. Text reads: "The Dukes of Stratosphear - "You're A Good Man, Albert Brown" (Virgin): Those XTC pranksters emerge in a new guise with a sharp Sixties parody. Sgt Pepper meets the pub pianist."Newspaper clipping from Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph - 28 July 1987. Text reads: "The Dukes of Stratosphear: You're A Good Man, Albert Brown (Virgin). None other than XTC in disguise with a taste of next month's album Psonic Psunspot. This is a rollicking singalong that sounds like a cross between the Small Faces and the Kinks with all manner of other 60s flavourings thrown into the pot."

"Jackie couldn't decide if he was a girl or if she was a boy." Brilliant. #XTCmusic

LITTLE LIGHTHOUSE - Originally written for the Skylarking album, Todd Rundgren didn't think it fitted that album. What was XTC's loss was The Dukes and producer John Leckie's gain. #XTCmusic

The wonderful @xtclisteningparty.bsky.social is doing the second Dukes record "Psonic Sunspot" tonight. Here's a few reviews from such journalistic beacons as the Halifax Evening Courier, Fife Free Press, West Lancashire Evening Gazette and Number One magazine. #XTCmusic

Nice to hear The Hollies' influence on The Dukes. #XTCmusic

@xtclisteningparty.bsky.socialSep 16, 2026, 8:03 PM

HAVE YOU SEEN JACKIE? From the pen of Sir John John (Andy Partridge), the title was originally going to be called 'Have You Seen Sydney?" after Syd Barrett, but it was changed to the more enigmatic Jackie. #XTCmusic

Newspaper clipping from Fife Free Press, Friday 21 August, 1987. "THE DUKES OF STRATOSPHEAR - 'Psonic Psunspot' (Virgin) - Andy Partridge and the lads take their second acid trip around the sixties scene in their Dukes of Stratosphear personas inviting the listener to play their little game of 'Spot the influence' (Hollies, Beatles, Small Faces, Beach Boys, The Move, The Kinks, The Byrds et al). A delicious pot-pourri of a psychedelic pastiche, 'Psonic Psunspot' is a sheer aural delight. Available on CD."

🎵🎵 PRESS PLAY! 🎵🎵 Kicking things off with VANISHING GIRL, the Colin Moulding (or should that be The Red Curtain) penned track. The little girl we hear at the end of the song, as well as elsewhere on the album, is Lily Fraser, the studio owner's daughter. #XTCmusic

MAKING PLANS FOR NIGEL, XTC's first Top 20 hit (it peaked at no.17), was released on this day in 1979. #XTCmusic

As well as it being the Black Sea anniversary, it's also the 70th birthday of former XTC band member, Barry Andrews! #XTCmusic

BLACK SEA turns 46 today! Such a strong collection of songs. It really is hard to choose one to post but let's go with Respectable Street (live version from Ugh! A Music War). Is this your favourite track from Black Sea, or something else? #XTCmusic
