Well it might as well be. Myself and Tim of this parish, and Meggean who is one person removed from the FT Collective (she is my old flatmate), were featured heavily on Radio 4’s Soul Music show this week – basically we get the last fifteen minutes. The subject was Wichita Lineman, and the show also features Jimmy Webb and Glenn Campbell (and some bloke who really likes Johnny Cash). We were tapped up by this FT article, so writing rubbish on the internet really does sometimes lead to talking rubbish on the radio.

You can listen again to it here, via the Radio 4 website.. Or its repeated on Saturday afternoon at 3.30pm.

Brushes with celebrity, real or fictional, the correct way to get an autograph of of a celebrity and the Panto – the SI unit of notoriety. And yes, wherever there is fame, there is infamy (and indeed they have all got in in for us). Pete Baran is joined by Hazel Robinson and Alan Trewartha to rake over the Heat magazines of years past and ask if the Kids From Fame were so good, how come none of them are famous now?

This time I welcome a terrifyingly well-informed team of Magnus Anderson, Al Ewing and Martin Skidmore to talk about something I (demonstrably, audibly) know very little about – the history, present and practice of comics criticism. Links and other clarifications to follow in the comments.

We hear an interview with Girl Unit (aka Phil Gamble), we talk a surprising amount about Red Bull Music Academy, and we hear an in-progress remix from Steve as well as some terrific music from 20-year-old Chilean sensation Nicolas Jaar, Nguzunguzu (did I stutter?), and the as-yet-unreleased “Arpjam” by Jam City.

No really! Tom Ewing makes his way to the sprawling Resonance FM studios to preview the next entry in his mammoth project. Mark Sinker, Kat Stevens, and host Elisha Sessions join him for a wide-ranging discussion that takes in Terre Thaemlitz, childhood, pop stars’ relationships with their audiences, a logistical breakdown of the iconic video, and our own marks out of 10. Oh yeah, and “Teen Witch” (1989). Please submit your mental image of Shep Pettibone in the comments, please (no web searches allowed!).

Music from Bjork, Musical Youth, Chase & Status and Debbie Gibson. Of course.

Tim Hopkins, Steve Hewitt and Clare Spencer join me – Pete Baran – flying by the seat of our pants and talking about safety, danger, the extended mix of the Safety Dance, “if I scream if I wanna go faster what do I do if I wanna slow down”, driving lessons, ELEPHANTS = DANGER and far too much time spent discussing iron cords.

He’s joined by Alix Campbell, Magnus Anderson and Alex Macpherson for a discussion of KID POP – kids who sing pop and what pop kids like – not really the same category, as we discover (bling-eyed svengalis take note). We hear singles from our panelists, Frank Kogan talks about old television and why people fall out of love with music, we hear 9-year-old Willow Smith’s new single and of course we share the hotly anticipated results of the FT kid pop poll with you.

Produced by Elisha Sessions.

This week: Fear. Pure fear. Tim Hopkins, Pete Baran, Mark Sinker, Kat Stevens and Elisha Sessions play ostensibly scary music and absolutely no Toby Keith in what must be a Lollards first. All tracks are identified on air – I can’t even remember what they all are now – but I did make good on my promise to play the Billie Jean demo (which is NOT the one floating around on Youtube by the way).

Music comes from Daphne And Celeste, Fergie and Missy Elliott, in Resonance FM’s never ending quest to push back the boundaries of music radio.

Totally Hair Barbie ad:

Rappin’ Rockin’ Barbie ad (note minuscule size of boom box):

An update on Kat’s work-in-progress, “Hollyoaks The Musical”, takes the Lollards from overture to immature, around Japanese digi-musicals and South Park, and the musical flops of Superman and Carrie. Chess makes them wonder if perhaps there’s any mileage in a musical based on the works of Abba. Hmm.

Because this is a show about puddings, and you have to listen to it to get any nutritional value out of it at all.

Nuncle Carsmile Steve Hewitt welcomes his guests Rebecca Toennessen, Stevie Trousse and Marna Gilligan and wrestle with the great gravy vs custard battle, music comes from Stanley Holloway, Wilco and something that sounds like an army of very, very sad machines.

So nonsense basically, and much misinformation presented as fact as ever. Please feel free to correct us below in the comments.

Tom Ewing, Anna Fielding, Mark Sinker and Pete Baran talk about eyes, lies, Google Street View, elephants in the room and the five blind boys of Alabama called Moe, was Walt Disney a furry, would you fancy Bugs Bunny, why Billy Idol is better than Paul Anka and still have time to talk about sleeve notes and have a WORLD EXCLUSIVE from St Etienne (which we proceed to pretty much talk over – sorry).

Broadcasting to ALL OF LONDON on crystal clear FM* on 104.4, webstreaming from the Resonance website and then popping up on here some time afterwards as a podcast. We said the last show would be the LAST SHOW, so discover what it was that made us come back for series three, and if we have jumped the shark.

The first show this weekend on Saturday 2:30pm – 3:30pm is hosted by myself, and I have hand picked guests of a genial and jolly nature. Namely Magnus “Norkmaiden” Anderson, Alix Campbell and Freakytrigger head honcho Tom Ewing himself. Looking way back into the past for this edition expect to hear about ancient cookbooks, superstitions and featuring an ALL NEW THEORY about the medieval world which threatens to shock history depts up and down the land. Silly about the serious, serious about the silly, the Lollards Of Pop are back.

It’s a clip show, in other words. Kind of. Tim, Meg, Steve, Tom, Elisha, Mark, Magnus and Pete test the physical limits of the studio — this is science, after all — by all crowding round the mixing desk. The missing link between King Arthur’s round table and Jay-Z. “How We Do” by Trina feat. Fabolous (not the other way around). And on it goes. Until it stops.

Post-Loll: Its Just Not Rollerball https://freakytrigger.co.uk/see/2007/12/post-loll-its-just-not-rollerball https://freakytrigger.co.uk/see/2007/12/post-loll-its-just-not-rollerball#comments Thu, 13 Dec 2007 11:11:08 +0000 https://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/12/post-loll-its-just-not-rollerball/ OK, from the FUTURESPORTS desk on last nights FT & The Lollards Of Pop we first take a look at Keirin which chief engineer Carsmile Steve cited as the closest we get to Rollerball in actual sport. OK, there is a scooter involved SOMETIMES, but as texted by Rick to us after the show, Keirin has been around since 1948, with the role of the scooter/motorbike often been taken up by a racing tandem instead. What soon transpires from the Wikipedia page is that Keirin is two different sports really. The super serious pro-betting sport in Japan, and the rest of the world who might do it in the Olympics. Accoring to a recent article on https://www.bestuscasinos.org/legal/nevada/, in Japan standards of fairness are a bit different and they are rigourously applied, in as much as all the bikes (bar the scooter of course) must be of identical standardised make. Which actually seems pretty fair: no knocking up bikes from washing machines in that version of the game. Basically Keirin is probably the purest form of velodrome speed cycling when there is an attempt to reduce wind turbulence* until optimum speed is reached. It also uses a repechage system for qualification, which is nice because repechage is a terrific word**. They tried to hold a Keirin race in London this year but nobody came.

BUT Keirin, for all its use of an electrical scooter (or what seems to be a gas guzzling moto-cross bike in that photo nicked from Wikipedia) is not Rollerball. The scooter is an extraneous thing, not used in the actual competitive part of the race, and there are no spiked shoulderpads involved. Want to play actual Rollerball? Here are the full rules, including technical specifications if you want to set up your own track and team. Also the rules to the version in the 2002 remake by John McTeirnan: rightly ridiculed by the web-compiler as they basically boil down to this quote from the film: “There’s only one way to score and that’s when a player takes one of the balls and flings it at one of the iron bowls hard enough to set off the pyro. As for the rest of the rules, well, the rest of the rules are Russian and complicated…” For completeness sake, here’s a short essay about the evolution of the various versions of Rollerball. There is an argument in these articles that Rollerball would actually work as a sport, and indeed that some of the stunt artists*** after the 1975 movie was a hit tried to set up a league. This article on the physics of Rollerball might explain why that might be a bad idea…

None of this comes close of course to Aldous Huxley’s Centrifugal Bumble Puppy. Not much is said about the game in Brave New World beyond the following, suggesting her was better at naming than gaming:

“The Director and his students stood for a short time watching a game of Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy. Twenty children were grouped in a circle round a chrome steel tower. A ball thrown up so as to land on the platform at the top of the tower rolled down into the interior, fell on a rapidly revolving disk, was hurled through one or other of the numerous apertures pierced in the cylindrical casing, and had to be caught.”

That said, it does illustrate muc of the point of Huxley’s book. It is basically a game of catch with a needless piece of technology in the middle. HELLO SCRABULOUS!!! But luckily the internet also being a version of centrifugal bumble-puppy someone has already written about this in a very Lollard friendly way. Read Citizen Player vs Centrifugal Bumble Puppy, as it weaves Huxley, 2000AD, the Arcade Fire and David Milliband into an interesting idea of what internet communities might be.

*Mentioned briefly in a second, the terrible film Slipstream notable for
a) Being a windy dystopia
b) Starring Mark Hamill
c) Featuring The Big Area by Then Jericho as its theme.

**Clearly a French method developed on the Planet Of The French so that they do not lose at all sports.

***One of Rollerball’s claims to fame is that it was supposedly the first Hollywood film to properly name its stuntmen in its closing credits. Leading to the end of the Unknown Stuntman that Lee Majors sings about here.

Freaky Trigger and the Lollards of Pop – Series 2, Week 2 (Pre-Record information) https://freakytrigger.co.uk/lollards-podcast/2007/11/freaky-trigger-and-the-lollards-of-pop-series-2-week-2-pre-record-information https://freakytrigger.co.uk/lollards-podcast/2007/11/freaky-trigger-and-the-lollards-of-pop-series-2-week-2-pre-record-information#comments Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:16:02 +0000 https://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/11/freaky-trigger-and-the-lollards-of-pop-series-2-week-2-pre-record-information/ Hello everyone! Its Wednesday, its 7pm so harken up to the sweet sounds of Saltarello drifting across your Resonance airwaves. EXCEPT YOU WON’T! Because today is NO MUSIC DAY as decreed by Bulldog Drummond and his trusty service revolver, and thus we will not be playing any music AT ALL tonight. At least one of our contributors is probably happy (Tanya!).

Anyway, we have decided to comply with this ban, but in a 21st C rebellion sort of way we will leave you the bits and bobs for you to cut and paste your own show together the way Mom would have made it. Thus at 7pm we suggest you turn on the radio and play the first track below – (Saltarello the FTATLOP Theme). Fade when we start talking.

THEN when we instruct you, AND NOT BEFORE, play Track 1. This is Tom’s track
THEN when we instruct you, AND NOT BEFORE, play Track 2. This is Sarah’s track.
THEN when we instruct you, AND NOT BEFORE (but safe bet it will be near the end of the show) play track 3, the UK’s midweek illegally downloaded number one.

I daresay we will knit it all together too in a bumper edition, like you would expect, but tonight you will will be priviliged to hear snippits of the “Behind The Scenes” conversations we have when the music is playing. So join me you mumbling host Peter Baran, my scintillating guests Alix Campbell, Sarah Clarke and Tom Ewing plus special guest Tanya Headon and a letter from Tajikistan (not forgetting ace nobsman Rob Brennan on the ace nobs) at 7pm on Resonance 104.4 for Freaky Trigger And The Lollards Of ???

HAIR, sprouting from a new location. Hosted by Mark. What has gone before? (And why?) Britney has a plan. Kat’s entirely explicable Victorian hair fixation and a dubious graph. Magnus’s doffable clothing. New Seeker’s Pinball Wizard. The Teen Forecast. 2 Unlimited. Katie susses sunseed. And announcing the Midweek Number One…

Specially brought to you from us, the good people at www.freakytrigger.com :-)
