Johnny Nexdor & His Neighbors are really XTC, right?
Nancy McGrath writes: Actually, “Johnny Nexdor & His Neighbors” is not XTC. It is Sean Altman in multiple roles, with a few friends thrown in for good measure. For those of you not familiar with him, Sean is one of the lead singers of the amazing rock/pop/R&B a capella group, Rockapella. Sean co-wrote “Change My World” with his friend and collaborator Billy Straus; the song is their tribute to XTC’s style. David Yazbek writes: Johnny Nexdor is not XTC. But it’s pretty obvious that Sean Altman was doing his best A.P. impersonation. It’s the only cut off that album (Carmen Sandiego) that I wasn’t around for, but I probably would have told him to tone down the XTC-ness a bit.
