While out the the other night I heard “Making Plans For Nigel” - piping out of a juke - reminding me that I haven’t spent near enough quality time lately with my favorite XTC album, Drums & Wires. The video aired when I was a kid. I’m happy to report that it’s as bizarre now as I remember it being during the early days of MTV.

I don’t know why, I’ve never heard a version of this song that I didn’t love. I’m sure a terrible cover of it exists but I haven’t heard it yet.
