Even though I call these songs random, there is usually some sort of prompt during my day which inspires them. Today’s song I will call truly random though. No idea why it popped in to my head (other than it being just a darned good song worthy of playing on my internal station) so I thought I would share.

This album capped off the wonderfully creative and illustrious career of XTC, and in my opinion they went out on a high note. Not a bad run these guys had. I don’t think there’s a bad album in the bunch but damn you’ve got – starting in 1983:

Mummer
The Big Express
Skylarking
Oranges & Lemons
Nonsuch
Apple Venus Volume 1
Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2)

All are considered essential in my book (or they would be if I had a book…)
