October 1988...up at my girlfriend's lake home. Her best friend came up with her boyfriend and we awkwardly shook hands and the girls disappeared into the kitchen to talk.
More awkward silence, then he suggests we grab the boom box and go out onto the dock to check out the full moon. He pops in Disintegration, we roll one and smoke it, and become best friends for 20 years after. And I go out and buy everything this band ever recorded.
For me , this is what the "post comment" is all about. But we use it more to "rate " songs.
The great thing about Radio Paradise is I like most things that Bill plays. I don’t love them all and I dislike very few. It’s what makes great radio!
Wow. You absolutely nailed it. Ditto.
I sure like Morning Jacket. All mellow sounding and subdued but then these semi-raunchy guitar riffs and killer melodies.
this was the wedding dance for me and my wife 16 years ago (surrounded in the dark of a circle of friends holding candles). a truly moving moment captured forever in our hearts and suprisingly awakend by this inclusion in the playllist. we had to stop what we were doing and start dancing again in our room.
thanks bill and thanks to fate for its foresight to arrange the crossing of my and my wifes path 21 years ago!
Sitting in my room building a model airplane listening to local rock station with my headphones on in grade 7 (1979). I hear this song for the first time ever and immediately it blows me away. can clearly remember like it happened yesterday. had similar experiences with I Shall be Released (BD) and Powderfinger (NY)

Thanks for playing XTC!
I agree. Amazing band with impressive volume of quality music.

Just play the whole album.
I dare you.
Can't help myself - Bob Dylan meets the Waterboys?
Yep.
Play more.
A true Canadian treasure.
Thanks Bill.
This helps.
Thanks RP!
This is absolutely beautiful!
I am impressed with the far reaching and general broad scope of bands you bring to the table.
OK. Me too!
Why is this rated so low?
yeah, weird.
good quality song.
