  • Hall of Fame Andy Partridge
    Hall of Fame Andy Partridge Andrew John Partridge (born 11 November 1953) is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer from Swindon. He is best known for co-founding the rock band XTC, in which he served as the group's primary songwriter and vocalist. While the band was formed as an early punk rock group, Partridge's music drew heavily from British Invasion songwriters, and his style gradually shifted to more traditional pop, often with pastoral themes. The band's only British top 10 hit, "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), was written by Partridge. In addition to his work with XTC, Partridge has released one solo album on Virgin Records in 1980 called Take Away / The Lure of Salvage. He has also collaborated (as performer, writer or record producer) with recording artists, including Martin Newell, with whom he recorded and produced an album in 1993 entitled The Greatest Living Englishman released in Japan as a duo album. Partridge was producer for the English band Blur during the recording of Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). He was replaced by Stephen Street at the insistence of their record label, Food. According to Partridge he was unpaid for the sessions and received his expenses only. Partridge also wrote four songs for Disney's version of James and the Giant Peach (1996) but was replaced by Randy Newman when he could not get Disney to offer him "an acceptable deal". In the 2000s, Partridge began releasing demos of his songs under his own name in The Official Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album and the Fuzzy Warbles album series on his APE House record label.

Radiohead members independently released the album with Nigel Godrich, an arrangement they used for their subsequent albums. In addition to the song Lucky, recorded in 1995, Radiohead recorded OK Computer in Oxfordshire and Bath between 1996 and early 1997, mainly in the historic St Catherine's Court mansion. The band distanced themselves from the guitar, lyrically introspective style of their previous album The Bends. THE abstract texts of OK Computer, densely layered sound and eclectic influences laid the groundwork for Radiohead's later, more experimental works. The album depicts a world fraught with unbridled consumerism, social exclusion, emotional isolation and political malaise; as such, OK Computer is said to have a prophetic understanding of the mood of 21st century life. Unconventional production methods on the album include natural reverb through recording on the stairs, and the lack of audio separation, allowing the instruments not to reconnect separately.

  • A Conversation with Andy Partridge by Frank Goodman (11/2006/Puremusic.Com)
    A Conversation with Andy Partridge by Frank Goodman (11/2006/Puremusic.com) Although their notoriety seems not to have popped up on everyone's radar, those of us lucky enough to count XTC as one of our bands seem to agree that they were one of the most musical and important acts of the eighties. Their post punk roots, their pop soul that time brought to bear, and their fierce originality generated a repertoire of song unlike any other in rock history. They had their influences, but processed them uniquely. They are known for their reluctance to break the small town ties of their origin in Swindon, an English railroad town whose "magic roundabout" may be a dubious claim to fame, especially since it brought us not only XTC, but Gilbert O'Sullivan and jazz sensation Jamie Cullum. (However, you get can a magic roundabout t-shit at swindonweb.com/life/lifemagi0.htm.) In fact, their view of the world is seen so keenly through the looking glass that is Swindon, they are to pop music what small town sleuth Miss Jane Marple is to mystery. She rarely needed to go outside the hedgerows of St. Mary Mead to solve the most enigmatic of murders, or to simply find examples of the many dark cupboards of the human condition. Although drummer Terry Chambers and especially guitarist and keyboardist Dave Gregory made long-standing contributions that are forever a part of XTC's colorful history, the songwriters and nucleus of the band are bassist Colin Moulding and guitarist Andy Partridge. Although undeniably, many of the greatest and most successful songs belong to Moulding, Partridge is by far the moreprolific as well as infamous, being by turns more high-energy and socially withdrawn.

  • 2006 Annual Report
    2006 annual report 2006 Annual Report Page 1 Since 1985, The Aliveness Project has been a place of life-giving support for people whose lives have been changed by HIV/AIDS. In 2006, we served 1,352 individuals — that’s one in four individuals living with HIV infection in Minnesota! In 1985, a small group of individuals living with HIV gathered together in homes to share support and potluck meals. In 2006, our on-site Meal Program and Food Shelf together provided the equivalent of more than 80,000 meals — and at least 500,000 since 2000! In 1985, there was no effective treatment for HIV infection. In 2006, although treatments for HIV infection help many people live longer, our members still need the healing therapies of our Complementary Care Program to combat the symptoms of this disease and side effects of current treatments. In 1985, less than 100 cases of full-blown AIDS were reported in Minnesota. In 2006, The Minnesota Department of Health reported 318 new cases of HIV/ AIDS — a five percent increase — and a total of 5,566 Minnesotans living with HIV/AIDS. In 2006, The Aliveness Project added 181 new members and served 15 percent more people than the previous year. In 1985, The Aliveness Project was founded by a small group of volunteers. In 2006, more than 1,000 individuals volunteered over 30,000 hours to run food shelf drives, serve thousands of hot meals, provide complementary therapies, and donate hundreds of gifts for our Holiday Basket Program! In 1985, there was little funding for AIDS services.
