This is day 200! How cool! Only 165 to go until I've hit a whole year. This is the longest non-dysfunctional relationship I've ever had with anything, even my cat.

Dukes of Stratsophear are XTC indulging their utmost love of psychedelic music. The new issue of this album is supposed to have cool liner notes, but since you probably don't get those with an MP3 copy, there's a cool page over on Chalkhills (an XTC fan site) with the band's description of what each song is a homage to which is a great companion to Chocolate Fireball and works on it's own as a good introductory course to the variety of styles of psychedelia that existed between the US and EU, without even featuring a real song from the era.

There are SO MANY good songs on this record. Really! What better way to ring in my 200th day?
