Perhaps the only band that gets called a one-hit wonder for two different songs in two different countries, we review the first three albums by the British art school kids who got their band name from Star Trek.
Episode 30: "Amok Time", in which Spock once again but most spectacularly comes under the influence of something (hormones) that causes him to show emotion! Olly and I delve into the logic, the character development, the world building (it's literally one building on another world, but hey), and so much more. Checkov! Checkov's wig! Chapel's burning lust for Spock! Spock's lava lamp! Vulcan's principle export (lava lamps)! This has the beautiful Arlene Martel as T'pring, Celia Lovsky as T'Pau, and a guy as Stonn (okay, not a great character). Olly and I battle to the death over whether production order or broadcast order is most important. And I sing the fight music!
In this episode Gearoid travels to Henley on Thames to pay a visit T’pau singer and 80s rock queen Carol Decker. We take a nostalgic look back at her glory days and chat about everything from fridges to “The Killing”. In the 80s Carol Decker and her former partner Ronnie Rogers shared a damp flat in which they wrote songs chasing their dream of superstardom which remained elusive for six years. They endured the heartache of publishing deals falling through but always believed in their songs. When success came it was worth the wait and their band T’Pau (named after a Star Trek character became huge all over the world) with hits like “Heart and Soul”, “China in your Hand” and “Valentine”. When it all ended Carol mourned her fame for a long time until she met a new manager, a new man and embraced her past. She is now the mother of two teenagers and has forged a solo career. She reunited with Ronnie for a 25th anniversary T’pau tour and they made another critically acclaimed T’pau album. Carol tours regularly and has released her autobiography “Heart & Soul”. If you enjoy this episode please share it and leave a review on iTunes and while you are there why not treat yourself to some T’Pau!

To Brave the Storm. John Jackson Miller in News. The Romulan War: a pivotal conflict in the history of the Star Trek universe. This clash of civilizations would bring humanity to the brink of destruction and lay the groundwork for the formation of the Federation. This week, we look at the definitive chronicle of that momentous event and discover how the crew of the NX-01 faced down the existential threat of the Romulan Star Empire. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing, Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson talk about Star Trek Enterprise: To Brave the Storm. We discuss if the book covers enough, the pacing, Mayweather returning, T’Pau’s change of heart, Romulans, Trip and T’Pol, what might have been and ratings. In a very special news segment we are joined by John Jackson Miller to preview his new trilogy Star Trek Prey as well as the news that Kirsten Beyer is shepherding the Star Trek Discovery books and comics.

T'Pau - The Whole Story... T’Pau’s Carol Decker joins SNS Online in part one (of two) of an extended interview, available here as a free download. Having recently returned to the pop world with a brand new, critically acclaimed album, Pleasure & Pain, complete with UK tour, part one covers T’Pau’s early rise to fame, their quadruple platinum debut album, Bridge of Spies - and beyond - plus the lifestyle that they all enjoyed during that creative musical explosion that was the 1980s. But why did it all stop when it did, and how different has motherhood affected Carol in recent years, as T’Pau once more steps into the limelight..? In a very honest (and funny!) interview, Carol and Nick put the world to rights in a secret location in Henley-on-Thames (a pub), and not only cover T’Pau’s initial glory days, but discuss the wonderful pop culture of the 1980’s onwards (wearing black arm-bands for the demise of Top of the Pops...). Illustrated with T’Pau’s hits and archive material. A show to be enjoyed if you're a T'Pau/Carol Decker fan, or if you just want to immerse yourselves in that heady era of 80's nostalgia...

Amok Time. The Vulcan marriage ritual gave us more than just epic fight scenes, it also gave us epic music. The theme from "Amok Time"—"The Ancient Battle/2nd Kroykah"—has transcended Star Trek and gone on to appear in numerous shows and films, ranging from Futurama to The Cable Guy. And as much as T'Pau would like to claim credit for this success, we really have Gerald Fried to thank. It was his creative genius and composition skills that brought the koon-ut-kal-if-fee to life through sound. In this episode of Melodic Treks we're joined by Drew Stewart and Mike Schindler of Standard Orbit for a cross-show exploration of "Amok Time." We team up to discuss the music as well as Gerald Fried and his inspiration. Then, tune in to Standard Orbit for a discussion and commentary of the actual episode.
Congratulations to Vicky Finnegan who is off to the Flashback Festival. She won tickets on the Forces Breakfast with Chris Kaye to see UB40, T'Pau, Jason Donovan, Go West, Heaven 17 & M-People.
