Welcome one, welcome all to a very special episode of the soda jerker on songwriting

podcast. Today on the show we spend some time with the frankly incomparable singer,

songwriter, guitarist, and to my mind one of the greatest living Englishman, Andy Partridge of

XDC.

But before we start the interview with Andy, one thing we want to mention is that we've

begun posting a series of our demos on the blog.

As songwriters, we've an archive of about 250 songs or so that we've accumulated.

Yeah because I'm a bit of a completest I've catalogued in archives pretty much everything we've ever

thought, said, done. These mapped our entire psyches. Yeah I've

downloaded them to some sort of media. But a lot of these ideas have never been

heard by anyone because you know these are tracks that we've captured during the

writing process or you know they are tracks that we've captured during the writing process or you know the

demos that we made for our band when we were these critically acclaimed underrated

indie offbeat underground art pop beat combo rockers.

They succinct the script in there.

Yeah I'd use that in a press release.

So we want to share more of our ideas with you in whatever form we could.

A lot of them will be pretty low-fi or pretty rough in terms of performance,

but we're less interested in perfection really and more interested in sharing the variety of what we do with you.

Yeah, in our guys as So de Jek,

we've tended to publish electronic pop.
