XTC's Colin Moulding The Hardest Battle

To mark the release of The Hardest Battle, the mighty Colin Moulding talks about being true to himself, avoiding cliches and fighting off being beige.

The XTC bassist and songwriter reveals the inspiration behind his first solo single since 1980's Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen to Mark Fisher, Sarah Palmer and Peter Mills, who ask:

• Who are his favourite poets?
• What makes him cry?
• Analogue or digital?

As well as The Hardest Battle, Colin remembers Say It, Bungalow, Boarded Up, Scatter Me and Dying, not to mention playing live with Terry Chambers.

Drink recommendation from Kate Catalina.
