The songs everyone knows from Only By The Night aren't the whole story. We set aside the monster singles and go searching for the cuts that turned a big rock record into a lasting companion—tracks with space to breathe, edges that scrape, and melodies that stick for reasons other than radio. From the haunted hush of Closer to the grit and drive of Crawl, we unpack why these performances work and how the band's family chemistry locks the groove into place.We trace the band's journey—early buzz overseas, the 2008 breakout, and the Grammys that followed—then zoom in on the parts often missed: Angelo Petraglia's production choices, the interplay of staccato rhythm and stretched vocals, and the fingerprints of influences like Pixies, Thin Lizzy, and the Beach Boys. Manhattan and Revelry get their due as mood pieces that ride the line between indie cool and heart-on-sleeve confessional, while Cold Desert closes the loop with country-tinged glow and a late-night confession that lingers long after the last chord.Our dark horse favorite, Be Somebody, becomes the centerpiece: a soaring chorus, a bassline that sings, and an arrangement that opens wider with each pass. It's the sound of a band stepping onto a bigger stage without losing its scruff or soul. If you've only met this album through Sex On Fire and Use Somebody, consider this your invitation to hear the rest with fresh ears. Hit play, tell us your top three non-hits, and if this breakdown made you re-listen, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.Send us a textSupport the show

Dragons that spat fire. Masked dancers sweeping through palace halls. Henry VIII himself turning up in disguise… Welcome to Tudor Twelfth Night, the most spectacular, theatrical, and joyfully chaotic night of the entire Christmas season. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway, and for Day 8 of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we're stepping into the dazzling world of masques, mumming, disguisings, pageantry and revelry at the Tudor court. You'll discover: - What Tudor “disguisings” really were -  How mumming evolved into masked processions of luck and mischief - Why the morris dance became a Tudor Christmas favourite - The Italian-style masque Henry VIII introduced  - How Edward VI's court staged elaborate moral allegories, mock battles, and a banquet of 120 dishes - And how Twelfth Night became the grand, magnificent finale of Christmastide From wild pageant carts to torchlit dances… from Robin Hood characters to allegorical triumphs… Twelfth Night was where Tudor magnificence reached its peak. Thank you for joining me for today's Advent instalment!

Send us a textDustin Toliver from Lowland Revelry discusses their recent victory at the Battle of the Bands, the importance of live performances, and the evolution of their sound from country to rock. He shares insights on songwriting, musical influences, and the role of cover songs in engaging audiences. The conversation also touches on the significance of building connections within the music scene and the band's aspirations for the future.

I. Introduction: The Word and the theme “Wake Up” Exaltation of the Bible as the believer's foundation over feelings or worship experiences.​ Personal stories about people falling asleep in church and a college roommate's alarm to introduce the “wake up” motif.​ Transition from physical sleep to the real concern: spiritual sleep.​ II. Main Text: Romans 13:11–14 Reading and emphasizing Paul's call to “awake out of sleep” because salvation is nearer than when believers first believed.​ Call to cast off works of darkness, put on the armor of light, walk properly, and “put on the Lord Jesus Christ,” making no provision for the flesh.​ III. Paul's Three Challenges A. Be aware of the times Explanation of “high time” as a critical, urgent moment requiring spiritual discernment.​ Biblical examples: Jerusalem missing its “time of visitation” in Luke 19; churches of Ephesus (lost first love) and Laodicea (lukewarm).​ Need for discernment of seasons (sowing vs. reaping), people, political and social issues, illustrated by the tribe of Issachar (understanding of the times).​ Description of last days from 2 Timothy 3 (lovers of self, money, pleasure, form of godliness without power), applied to modern culture and social media.​ B. Awake out of spiritual sleep Warning that Christians can be physically awake but spiritually asleep, citing Ephesians 5:14.​ Signs of spiritual slumber: indifference to Bible, preaching, giving, serving, holiness; callousness and hardness of heart.​ Testimony of a church member who realized he had been spiritually asleep, plus repeated calls: “Wake up the mighty men/women” (Joel 3:9).​ Example of Samson: great anointing lost after being lulled to sleep by Delilah, leading to loss of sight, power, and discernment; warning from 1 Peter 5:8 to be sober and vigilant.​ C. Be arrayed in the armor of light Explanation of “arrayed” as putting on, dressing, and clothing oneself with Christ and His righteousness.​ Pastoral explanation of preaching strongly against sin out of love and responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God.​ IV. Six Sins to “Put Off” (from Romans 13) Revelry and drunkenness Defined as wild parties, nightclubs, casinos; warning that alcohol and exposed flesh create moral danger.​ Strong appeal against social drinking and minimizing drunkenness, noting family damage caused by alcohol.​ Licentiousness and lewdness Defined as sexual immorality and debauchery; teaching that sex is for the marriage covenant only.​ Condemnation of fornication, adultery, pornography, and cohabitation outside marriage, with logical and biblical arguments.​ Strife and envy Mentioned with the other sins as attitudes and behaviors that must be cast off to walk properly.​ V. Biblical Foundation for Repentance and Transformation Reading of 1 Corinthians 6:9–11: list of sins (fornication, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, drunkenness, etc.) that exclude from God's kingdom, followed by hope in being washed, sanctified, and justified.​ Emphasis that no sin is beyond God's power to forgive and transform, but believers must repent and turn from it.​ VI. “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ” and Make No Provision for the Flesh Definition of “make provision” as providing, accommodating, or facilitating opportunities for the flesh.​ Practical applications: avoid drinkers if prone to alcohol, remove pay‑per‑view if struggling with lust, avoid gossipers if prone to gossip, do not attach to those who tear down leadership.​ Specific rebukes: dating couples sharing hotel rooms or apartments, “playing house” for financial or convenience reasons; teaching that this is tempting the flesh and violates holiness.​ Illustration: not climbing through “dumpsters of sin” while wearing Christ's clean garments.​ VII. Call to Response and Revival Allegorical story of Satan's convention: demons decide the best strategy is to tell people there is time, lulling them into delay and spiritual sleep.​ Final threefold call: Be aware of the time. Awake out of sleep. Be arrayed in the armor of Christ.​ Appeal for repentance, surrender, and practical steps (e.g., separating, seeking counseling, getting properly married) as evidence of true obedience and not “cheap grace.”​ Invitation to the altar for all, noting both obvious and hidden sins, and insistence that the gospel is about change, new life, and ongoing dependence on the Holy Spirit.

We're currently visiting Wales with bookish friends for our Readers Weekend at Trevor Hall. But since Halloween is coming, we thought you might like to revisit our previous episode devoted to Spooky Season. In this episode from 2020, we talk about the origins of Halloween monsters and the tricky laws around selling a haunted house. And we recommend a bunch of books for Halloween, including some fun titles for people who want to get in the spirit but don't like to be scared. Trick or treat! --- SSoP Podcast Episode 17 — Halloween: Costumed Revelry, Voices From Beyond, and YAY, Candy! It's no surprise that most Halloween stories delve into the dark corners and shadows of life. That premise is in the very name of the holiday. Originally known as All Hallows' Eve, it's celebrated just before All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day — two holidays meant to honor the dead. For thousands of years, people all over the world have remembered the lost with candles, rituals, costumes, and revelry. The best Halloween stories produce tingles up the back of the neck, while also, maybe, breaking one's heart just a little bit. After all, good scares and sorrow often go hand-in-ghostly-hand. In this episode, we get curious about Halloween traditions and explore the lore around classic creepy creatures., Then we recommend books that celebrate the spirit (and spirits) of Halloween, including stories for self-proclaimed scaredy-cats, titles that should come with a ‘don't read this at night' warning label,‘ and a few in-between. For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit the show notes.
