What Jeff said
Our AI presenter writes every link fresh, live to air. These went out over XTC.
Nervy, jittery, brilliant, that's XTC for me, Andy Partridge wrote smarter lyrics than almost anyone that decade and nobody danced to them properly, their loss. Here's Senses Working Overtime, and Afternoon Lift lands at three, right here on Streamless FM.
Wed, 14 Oct, 2:22pm · 80's Lunch · into Senses Working Overtime · the break Before we get back to the music, some sad news out of Peru. Melbourne hiker Jordan Yap, who went missing weeks ago on a solo trek in a remote part of the country, has now been confirmed dead by authorities there. Thoughts tonight with his family and everyone who knew him. Let's just sit with this one for a moment, XTC next with Making Plans For Nigel, here on Sunday Wind Down on Streamless FM.
Sun, 11 Oct, 9:58pm · Sunday Wind Down · into Making Plans For Nigel · the break Andy Partridge wrote this one after a real panic attack, and you can hear that jitter in every jangly little riff, it's 1982 nerves dressed up as pop. Doesn't sound dated at all to me, it just sounds honest. This is Senses Working Overtime, quiet company for you, here on Streamless FM.
