Repercussion: I get the feeling Peter Blegvad has been friends with Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple for some time, but I don't know how they met, etc. Chris produced Peter B's wonderful King Strut & Other Stories album, on which Peter H did his multi-instrumentalist thing on several of its tracks. Well-worth seeking out!

Peter Blegvad's latest is a collaboration with Andy Partridge (XTC) called Gonwards. It's very different and very cool. Highly recommended. They seem to have a YouTube video for every song on the album!
