So in my job as glorified tutor I often get the chance to shape (or warp) young minds.

And today, when my favorite student came in to happily tell me about a conversation she’d had with a bible thumper- I introduced her to XTC (and also the sexism of the Obama campaign, but that is another story). So dear friends, here’s a triple does of XTC awesome.

Peter Pumpkinhead- this came out during Bill CLinton’s first campaign. I know it’s about Kennedy, but I always think it applies better to the Big Dog than to JFK, what with the lies and sex scandals.

Dear God- the song I showed to my (now) corrupted young student. She loved it.

And a two-for for Ouyangdan. Joss Whedon set to I’m the Man Who Murdered Love
