  • Summary

  • Being raised in a strict fundamentalist Christian group in the 1980s can cause some very predictable problems. Depression can be a Christian teenager's most constant companion despite church promises to the contrary. Dark humour, and even darker music, can help. This podcast is centered around the songs I wrote to deal back then, and what happened when I then picked away at recording workable versions of them for decades. contact me with questions and comments at wikkidperson@gmail.com or on Twitter @WikkidPerson

    Why can't we just get along? Ecclesiastical war. Is all the dividedness actually worse than putting up with some guy you believe is wrong about something?

  • Episode 63: Sunday's Coming
    Apr 24 2024
    A song presenting the unpopular idea that perhaps, all too often, church attendance is more about making much of Christians rather than much of God. Working on mixing a drum kit without it blasting the whole mix full of low midrange mud. All the different musical approaches to a single religious song. Should the worship team try to outdo Lady Gaga? The vegan, bloodless sacrifice of Cain. The idea that there are basic moods trying to be achieved in modern evangelical churches: feelbad or feelgood services. Happy clappy, or smells 'n bells. That some services are about quiet, inner, meditative silence, and ones that are about jubilant, group exhuberation. And that people argue over how much their church services succeed or fail at helping them feel the way they want to be helped to feel. Additional Musicians George Turcotte: drums Bass guitar: Tyler King
