the-theme-is

A group music blog of weekly themes. Each week, the moderator will pick a new theme and the members will post songs that fit, especially rare gems others may have not heard before.

We will call attention to forgotten gems and songs that have stood the test of time!

(We wish to stand out from the other blogs out there with this collection of rarities.)

No One Here Available - Andy Partridge (1985)

XTC frontman A.P. recorded this reggae-tinged novelty outgoing answering machine tune during the mid-eighties, heyday of the cassette ansaphone.

“Here it is, that Jacob Marley and the Wailers answerphone message. One of a series I made for my then brother in law in 1985. Stick it on your phone, feel free. Hearing it now, it sounds more like Robert Morley and his waders.” - A.P.
