When I finished reading XTC's biography, I finally understood the relationship between the two.Here are some of my personal analysis. If you can't accept it, please quit directly.

Andy Colin, actually, this pair is a bit of an underworld. In a sense, these two are childhood friends from school until the band was officially founded and named, and then Colin is the only one who has been around Andy since the band was not called XTC until it broke up in 2006. His voice can neutralize Andy's sharp voice, and his lyrics are more understandable than Andy's. It's lovely and straightforward. But the absolute core of xtc is undoubtedly Andy, who is the captain and has absolute dominance over the work.He was Colin's greatest admirer, the most talented songwriter Colin had ever met, and that's why Colin kept following him. He was the only member who was there from creation to dissolution. With the exception of drums and wires, each album is based on Andy's first theme and album tone before Colin follows. The most obvious is that all the members of Apple Venus have left, and only Colin is willing to imitate, learn and create singles that do not deviate from the album. When Andy couldn't tour because he had been taking antipsychotic drugs for a long time, Colin's first reaction was that I didn't tour either. In the 21st century, Pf wanted to invite Colin to tour, but Colin didn't go either. The reason was that he felt that he had not toured for more than 20 years, and it was meaningless to go.

I got a little emotional and said I was homesick, and I said, "I quit," but this band is my whole life, so why would I leave it?

Colin thinks this band is all he's got, and that's why I love this band. They are special, like McLennon, but they have their own ideas and talents.

I have to say these thoughts. It's clear that they have become the most important part of each other. Although they had a long cold war after XTC broke up in 2006 and Andy doesn't plan to reunite the band, TCL may give us a chance to see them work together again.Oh, my God, I can't believe it if I can see Andy and Colin continue to write their new songs for the 21st century.

(I'm going to sort out my brief conversation with Andy himself, if I remember.)

swindon

Drive from Swindon Old Town along Drove Road to the roundabout. If you don't want to drive, it's safe to stand on the pavement and observe the chaos-you can even eat fish and chips and watch. The fish shop is just around the corner from the roundabout. Swindonians are so proud of their enchanted roundabout that the tourist information desk at the Central Library in Regent Square sells a wide range of "enchanted roundabout" souvenirs, from key chains to mugs to tea towels and even T-shirts. So, if you brave this massive road system, you can celebrate your heroic feat with a suitable souvenir or two. Love it, hate it or be indifferent, one thing is for sure: visit Swindon and you can't ignore it. Fortunately for Swindon, the iconic, traffic-swallowing behemoth isn't the only magical thing about the city.

Good evening, just a big hello from another Kinks fan☺️🎸🎶

I am so happy to be able to receive greetings from other Kinks fans …It's been a long time since I updated my the Kinks blog.

I have to admit, sometimes you really need a band to support you.

thank you Andy，l Love you

I don't know why I can buy XTC records in Japan…Obviously, there must be an audience for bands in Japan.I'm trying to recommend it to my friends, but apparently they're not interested.

Colin Moulding -

bassman, second writer-in-command, handsomest man in Swindon - floats around the shadows, flicking magazines, sometimes looking up to listen, alert but composed. . . Very cool - as only the partly disconnected can be.

-- MOJO, March 1999

While all the members of XTC of lived among Swindon's soot-scarred buildings at one time or another, bassist Colin Moulding now lives well outside the grimy borders of what was once the beating heart of the nation's railway industry. When Moulding opens the door in casual athletic gear, he looks less like a semi-obscure musician than a footballer on holiday.

-- Raygun, January 1999
