Andy Partridge Interview and King For A Day video
Andy is interviewed by Kevin Seal on MTV's Now Hear This! and introduces the world premiere showing video for 'King For A Day'
Aired on MTV in June 1989.
Don't know what is sadder. That bands like XTC aren't around anymore, or that MTV used to be an informative excellent musical platform.
Patrick Bradley actually both of them
Bands like XTC were brilliant. Nothing exists like them today because the "record companies" want singles make quick money.
i gotta be honest, i really struggle these days. i grew up in the 80s and devoured music incessantly. played in many bands...now there is nothing new to feed my soul, it feels like those days never existed
One of the most rewarding bands ever. Humanity infinitum...
It almost brings me to tears, these guys are so good. Back then, nobody could come close to matching the superb songwriting craftsmanship of Colin Moulding and Andy Partridge, NOBODY. Even 25 years later this statement still rings true...thanks for the post.
Most underrated band EVER
About 6 months ago I was listening to REM on spotify when all of a sudden this song comes up and now im obsessed with it.
Colin truly one of the most underrated bassists ever... how can anyone sing like that while playing some of the most intricate basslines I've ever heard is beyond understanding to me
The lyrics are brilliant...and very relevant in 2020.
Totally agree, That's precisely what I was thinking as I was paying attention to the lyrics. And like this song with brilliant and relevant lyrics, this band has many.
Excellence!! Music was so good in the young MTV days!!
45 yrs I been listening to these fab chaps….45 years!!!!! Jeeeeez man, old…61 this comin friday, the anniversary of Lennons death, sad birthday me…x
Many thanks for the wonderful tunes and journey lads, XTC ..wonderful xox
So so so good. Colin on Bass , Colin's lyrics , Colin's melodies , and then there is Andy doing all that and more - the rearguard almost, the sweeper making it all happen, and then Dave bringing his essential counter melodies and solos. And then Terry. I will never tire of them.
Man take me back to the 80s! Please! Best times for music and New Wave!
Such an interesting individual. I could listen to him all day.
Superb music.
Superb band
Love this song! Thanks Egidio!
Catchy sound, smart lyrics, only one problem, it ends way too soon.
Love the abundance of leg in this interview.
The Best Music
meraviglioso grazie
I look forward to each and every video you post. Thanks for my XTC "fix"
As much as they may have disliked making videos, they seem to be having fun here.
Should have been No. 1 in the charts if there was any justice in the pop world (which, of course, there wasn't and still isn't ...
first heard xtc in the basement of a friends older brothers lair, in 1975. was so over pop music when I was exposed to these brilliant folks.
They didn't have anything out in 1975
Why is it every time I hear this gem from Swindons finest, I think of Margaret Thatcher, No still can't think why lol
When MTV was cool.
Check out blank pages by Frank James and peacock alley by Damion angel 2 really fine albums
It is a measure of how insignificant the video was for the song that a major fan like myself (who was in college at the time!) didn't see this video until just now, in 2017. I didn't even know it existed. It was a single, for crying' out loud! Weird. They kinda gave it the ol' college try, and yet as videos go, it's kinda... meh.
Can we just ask ~ where is Kevin Seal now?
yes Andy making fun of idiots...and they never caught on did they?
And, being idiots, they never will ...
