It’s a two-fer today as we finally get last week’s recording sorted out. 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). Originally broadcast Sat. May 23, 2009 on Resonance FM 104.4.

Freakytrigger and the Lollards Of Pop: Season 3 Episode 9

Pete Baran — Tue, 12 May 2009 16:24:04 +0000

The second half of the Lollards season kicks off with an playful hour about toys. Well, at least the toys you can talk about on a Saturday afternoon. Pete Baran is joined by Anna S, Kat Stevens and Pippa Ashton to talk about Barbie mutilation, freaky Japanese collectors dolls and children torturing each other. You know for kicks.

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.

The theme is Lost Property and losing it in general. And since with have such trouble referring to visual items on air, I though I would throw some of the pictures here to help you while you listen:

a) The Lost Property In My Office

b) The Future Of Watches Twenty Years Ago

c) The International Library Of Famous Literature Volume XX

I’m waiting for volume XXX.

Alan — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:49:50 +0000

Musical Euthenasia with Kat, Pete, Sarah and Magnus.

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.

Pete Baran — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 06:33:03 +0000

They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but in this case, the proof of the pudding is in the LISTENING. 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.

Apologies for the late arrival of this podcast, technical difficulties combined with having to run it past the Lord Chamberlain delayed the posting.

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).

Lollards Of Pop: Season Three!

Pete Baran — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 14:46:26 +0000

Not only is Freaky Trigger BACKBackback but so is it peripatetic radio offshoot FREAKY TRIGGER AND THE LOLLARDS OF POP on Resonance FM. 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.

If you want to warm up, here’s a link to the archives.

Tracer Hand — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:05:56 +0000

Freaky the Trigger and Her Pop Lollards round off their run with a final show whose contents will come as no surprise to those with a keen sense of the Lollardry ethos. 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.

The whys and wherefores of cheating with Eli, Tim, Mark and Katie.

Stalking Girls Aloud. Medieval ~~Courtney~~courtly love. Pulling swords out of stones as basis for political legitimacy. The wrong Supermayer. Morality as coolness – a Woman’s Weekly quiz special. Tanya hates Robyn, a listener complains. How ‘Bout Us by Champagne. The role of the sporting villain. Maradona’s excess. 8 is, in fact, greater than 7. Gaming the ref in politics.

Lost in Trance-Nation: Mark leads the way with Alix, Alan, Meg and Steve on Knobs.

Hammering tongues – is Cornish past-it? Pit Er Pat ‘Pyramids’. Lost in mazes, shops and computer games. Presets “Down Down Down”.

Alan — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:02:32 +0000

Time Team: Eli, Mark, Kat and Katie.

Something has happened to Tanya. Making haste to chase lollards reach… 2007. And run amok. But what of free-will, butterflies (and Ashton Kutchner)? Arthur and You’s “Black Bear” retro stylings. Mark lives for the moment, and internet flash games. But what if you could go back in time and kill Hitler and CarSmile Steve? Crystal Waters “I Believe I Love Ya” and the fate of “one hun dred percent, puuure love”. Kat’s memory plays tricks on her. Our midweek number 1 is Sunshine Anderson “Heard It All Before”

All this has happened before.

And will happen again.

Alan — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:27:38 +0000

In a field of their own: Magnus, Katie and Ewings Tom and Al.

A song of two halves. The RAH Band’s terrific ‘Clouds Across The Moon’. Marvel’s stock aliens. Ellen Allien’s ‘Wish’. Tolkien’s footling theories on the essence of Fairy Story. Fleet Foxes sing. “Aslan” magazine and improv RPGs.

With a twist – GASP. The midweek number 1 is Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds. OR IS IT?

Freaky Trigger and the Lollards of Pop – Series 2, Week 12

Alan — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:43:45 +0000

Mostly Moomins and Kid Lit with Sarah, Dr Vick/Quack, Tom, Pete and Steve on the knobs.

Moomins animation (v Roland Rat v He Man). What is the comet? Unease and a-moralising kids books. Ed Gorey. Position Normal – “Nostrils and Eyes”. Tom calls “Uncle” and the “New Mother”. Toy Story II and The Saddest Song in the World. It is. Closing remarks. Midweek number 1 is Man 2 Man?

Alan — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:05:36 +0000

Sorry excuses and polite engineering. With Alix, Sarah, Magnus and Rob.

A husband list update. Moloko ‘Sorry’, eventually. Polite vampires and ghosts. Insults from Hergé and Rabelais. Politeness is bad for Magnus. Some song, possibly Abba. Shrigley ‘My Beer’. Expensive booze. Star Turn On 45 Pints ‘Pump Up The Bitter’. All consuming petty irritations make you… bitter. Another song. Recipe gripes. The midweek number 1 is Marnie Stern ‘Patterns on a Diamond Ceiling’
