Song of the Day: 'Making Plans for Nigel' by XTC

From the British boys who brought you "Mayor of Simpleton," "Towers of London" and "Senses Working Overtime." But unlike those three that were written by frontman Andy Partridge, today's pick is by bassist Colin Moulding, who had the misfortune of being in the same band with a songwriting genius.

Not sure if it's because I am one episode away from having recently watched all nine seasons of "The Office" or  not, but I'm getting a serious Dwight Schrute vibe off the great Andy Partridge in this clip!

Great single from the British legends, later covered by Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs.

Song of the Day: 'Senses Working Overtime' by XTC

 Another classic single I first learned about via early MTV, from the British band's 1982 album, "English Settlement." Was mortified to read that Mandy Moore covered it in 2003.
