*Originally released August 13th 2017*

Steve and Doug ring in August to examine classic rock, post-punk band XTC. The guys reflect on the punk movement, studio bands vs touring, and a mysterious group known as The Dukes of Stratosphear. Who are they? And will they tour??

Six Degrees From King Crimson:
XTC -> Todd Rundgren -> Hall & Oates -> Robert Fripp -> King Crimson
XTC -> Steve Lillywhite -> Peter Gabriel -> Robert Fripp / Tony Levin -> King Crimson
XTC -> Barry Andrews -> League Of Gentlemen -> Robert Fripp -> King Crimson
XTC -> Pat Mastelotto -> King Crimson

Music featured this week:
Making Plans For Nigel - Drums and Wires 
Dear God - Skylarking [after 1987]
Senses Working Overtime - English Settlement
