  XTC
Your Dictionary (demo)
Album: Homespun
Genres: Alternative,Rock
XTC was Brit-pop before Brit-pop was cool. Hear an Andy Partridge work-in-progress in this bare-bones version of the scathing tell-off, "Your Dictionary."

  XTC showed its dark side on the 1998 album Apple Venus, Pt. 1, and “Your Dictionary” was one of its blackest moments. Cupid dips his arrow into acid, then shoots it straight to the heart in this bitter anti-ballad aimed at an ex-spouse. Taken from Homespun, a collection of XTC demos, this stripped down version of the song loses none of its sting; if anything, the exposure lends Andy Partridge’s uncluttered vocals even more virulence.
