re: #95 stpaulbear

OK. I’m totally disoriented now. The Monkees are releasing a new album in June and it has a song written for them by Andy Frickin Partridge of XTC. I feel like Norman in the Star Trek episode.

I was just in the middle of listening to an interview with Todd Rundgren (Marc Maron’s WTF podcast) where TR was talking about working on Skylarking. He calls Andy Partridge a grown-up “brat.” But I got home just at that comment and haven’t listened to the end. Sometimes artistic differences end in disaster and sometimes in sublime success. I think Skylarking is the latter.

On the Monkees: no comment.
