You might know David Yazbek as a singer songwriter with five albums to his credit. Or, you might know him as the Tony-nominated composer behind Broadway musicals like The Full Monty or Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown. Still others might know him as a TV writer who once worked for David Letterman.

As you might have guessed, Yazbek wears a lot of hats. Today, the New York native joins us wearing his singer-songwriter hat -- well, not literally. Yazbek and his band play live, and he talks about his deep love for the band XTC.

Then again maybe I'm wrong and Yazbek said Generals and Majors and that's why you didn't correct him. Of course I'm wrong. Sorry.

Just saying Senses working overtime is not on Black Sea as mentioned by Yazbek. You should have checked him John. Of course we wanted to hear you say no, it has Living through another cuba, and respectable streets, and Language in our lungs. I wanted to know that you are both fans who came into XTC through that door as I did. YOu were just being polite. I love you guys and Yazbek sounded so fresh and amazing, that last song could have been Partridge.
