"When he spoke it would raise the roof. Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth, but he made too many enemies of the people who would keep us on our knees." Andy Partridge Mark 2:1-12 (some religious people were unhappy at seeing miraculous healing) #IC 53: Secular Visions of Divinity (4/17/11) #IC 29: My Prayer for a Football Game (9/23/10) #IC 30: Establishment of Religion (9/30/10) XTC - Nonsuch
Efter at have teaset afsnittet i flere uger, skal vi i denne uges udsendelse endelig 30 år tilbage i tiden til 1994. Mange eksperter har nemlig nævnt netop dette år som et af de bedste musikår for soundtracks, og derfor har vi valgt at kigge nærmere på filmkalenderen fra 1994. Vi har fundet frem til en række fantastiske og cinematiske tracks fra kunstnere som f.eks. Elton John, The Cure, Madonna, Crash Test Dummies, Lisa Loeb, Warren G. og Sort Sol - taget fra nogle af årets store film bl.a. Nattevagten, The Lion King, Dumb & Dumber, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction og Reality Bites. Derudover taler vi Næstveds klassiske biograf, Bio12345, vi deler ud af vores kærlighed til Bilkas Bistro, vi mindes det gamle filmprogram Bogart, vi prøver at erindre om hvorvidt der blev sendt mange uartige film på TV3 i midthalvfemserne, vi tager en snak om rådyr og så kanaliserer Andy Tennant sin helt egen udgave af Scooby Doo. Playliste: Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories - Stay (I missed you) Big Mountain - Baby, I love your way Wet Wet Wet - Love is all around Warren G. & Nate Dogg - Regulate Backbeat - Long tall Sally Madonna - I'll remember The Cure - Burn BC-52's - (Meet) The Flintstones Elton John - Circle of life Alan Silvestri - I'm Forrest...Forrest Gump Jim Carrey - Cuban Pete Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Misirlou Urge Overkill - Girl, you'll be a woman soon Sort Sol - Popcorn Deadeye Dick - New age girl Crash Test Dummies feat. Ellen Reid - The ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead
Peter Pumpkinhead proclaims that "Any kind of love is alright" and gets nailed to a chunk of wood for saying so. What does that tell us about XTC's attitude to love and human relationships? In particular, how welcoming does this heterosexual band seem to those who aren't heterosexual themselves? This episode of What Do You Call That Noise? The XTC Podcast looks at XTC from an LGBTQI+ perspective. Guest host Darryl Bullock is joined by Keeley Moss, Tim Kendrick and Soizic De St John Rosse to talk about everything from The Loving to Towers of London. Music by Tim Pike and Slowrush.

By the time they released The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, their second studio album, The Black Crowes were already a popular band. This album would continue their dominance, achieving a record four album rock number one hits, and debuted at the number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart as well. The Black Crowes were originally an Atlanta band during a time when hair bands were on the way down and grunge was on its way up. Their Southern rock and blues rock style seemed to hit a sweet spot with fans.The name of the album is taken from the title of an 1835 shape note hymnal compiled by Baptist song leader William Walker.Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson were joined in the band by Johnny Colt on bass, Steve Gorman on drums, and newcomer Marc Ford on guitar who replaced Jeff Cease. Keyboardist Eddie Harsch was also added at this time and would later be named as a full band member. The Black Crowes have sold more than 30 million albums, and Melody Maker magazine calls them “The Most Rock 'n' Roll Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World.” Though only Chris and Rich Robinson remain from the original band, the Black Crowes continue to tour and record as of 2023.Lynch takes us on a journey down this blues rock album path. Sting MeThe opening track on the album was also the second commercial single released. It has a female vocal backing that hearkens back to southern gospel choirs. The lyrics are about a girl that keeps breaking the singer's heart, or it could also be about heroin use. The Black Crowes were vocal proponents of legalization for recreational drugs.Black Moon CreepingFuzzy guitar distortion and harmonica drive this deep cut. The lyrics are about people keeping secrets, and it has a little darker, funky edge. “What you got buried in your back yard? What secret do you sleep with when the black moon come?”RemedyThis is the big hit from the album, which reached number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Billboard album rock tracks chart. It is about freedom, and was written in response to the war on drugs. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme song from the late night variety show “The Tonight Show” Johnny Carson would take a final bow this month on his iconic late night show, to be replaced by Jay Leno. STAFF PICKS:The Wild Life by Slaughter Rob leads off the staff picks with a hair metal anthem. This is from Slaughter's second album of the same name. The band gets its name from its founder and front man Mark Slaughter. The album debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 Album Charts. Slaughter had five studio albums and three live albums.Temple of Love by The Sisters of MercyWayne rocks out with a song re-released in 1992, and originally performed in 1983. The Sisters of Mercy are from the UK underground scene, and this is their biggest hit, though it did not do well in the States. The name of the group comes from a Leonard Cohen song.The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC British post punk band XTC dropped this song on their 12th studio album, Nonsuch. It went to number 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. XTC founter Andy Partridge was inspired to write this song after watching a carved jack o'-lantern that he had put on his fence post decay over time. The Crash Test Dummies would cover this song in 1994's comedy film “Dumb and Dumber.”Cats in the Cradle by Ugly Kid JoeLynch features a cover of a song originally done by Harry Chapin in 1974. The Ugly Kid Joe version made it to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is about a father who doesn't make time for his son as he grows up, and reaps what he sews when the son doesn't have time for the father as an adult. NOVELTYTRACK:Summer Song by Joe SatrianiGuitar virtuoso Joe Satriani had a huge hit with this instrumental from his "Extremist" album.
