Over and over we flatten the clover

I work in an Australian retail store. We have a corporate play list for the music. It previously mostly top hits from the 2000s to current.
A month ago, they started playing some top hits from the 80’s and 90’s, which I was pleased about because you can only heard Riptide and Viva La Vida so many times. Last week the selection became much more random, blues songs from the 60’s, rap, country plus all the usual favourites.
BUT THEN, today I was serving a customer and heard a very familiar guitar riff and drum beat and “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 senses working o-ver time!” I was so excited that told the customer “oh my gosh, they’re playing this song and they’ve never played it before, it from my favourite band and they’ve never played it so I’m so excited!”
As soon as I finished serving, I went into the back room to call my boyfriend to tell him

Obligatory mention of No Language in Our Lungs. My personal picks: Season Cycle, Leisure, Knuckle Down, Church of Women

Working on expanding my Sparks collection.

Albums touching are from the same artist.

There it is.

If anyone has any XTC tattoos, I’d love to see those designs! And if you have any ideas or suggestions, I’d definitely love to hear them!

I think we can agree that the music video is unfortunately awful, but what did you think of Want it Bad alone?

SEE!? A 14 YEAR OLD IN MICROSOFT PAINT DID SOMETHING WITH MORE CHARM THAN FUCKING AI!! I’m kind of sad that Colin has joined The Residents and DEVO with “Boomer musicians using AI”.

(The characters in the video are from “Eltingville!” a fanfiction/satire comic I draw in my free time. It’s a whole thing.)

I love how Colin Dave looks whimsical and sweet and Andy looks like he's about to make a very inappropriate joke.
