From this episode… What is probably the best known song of the band Emerson, Lake and Palmer, ‘Lucky Man' contains one of the most influential and early uses of the Moog Synthesizer. This song almost didn’t happen, on the last day of recording their first album, the group did not have enough material to finish the minimum content required by their contract. In a last ditch effort, Greg Lake brought up this song to bring the total side B time on the LP to 21 minutes. Click to listen http://www.lyricsundercover.com/audio/LU-349.mp3 Like what you hear?

From this episode… Born on the heels of the Grunge explosion, Death Cab For Cutie was formed in the town of Bellingham Washington in 1997. Originally a solo project for frontman Ben Gibbard, Death Cab – as it is often called – is an Alt Rock band with a deep musical sound. Each studio album by the band is a rich tapestry of music accompanying often very poignant and sometimes dark lyrical arrangements. Gibbard is an outspoken man and an activist for various causes, such as gay rights – and it is very common to find those themes running throughout their music. The band recently joined a political activist musician coalition called 30 Songs 30 Days in which a different group or artist made a song for each day leading up to the American Presidential Elections. Theirs was the very first track, titled ‘Million Dollar Loan' Click to listen http://www.lyricsundercover.com/audio/LU-346.mp3 Like what you hear?

From this episode… The Australian Singer/Songwriter was born Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, but to the world she is known simply as Sia. Her visage to the mainstream is of a mostly covered face in a black and white bob wig, however this was not always the case, and there is much to the story of why she dons the wig today.
