  • 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

    Episode 69: The Only Game In Town
    Jul 17 2024
    In this antepenultimate episode: "Canada Bill" Jones and why he played a poker game he knew was crooked. Have you ever attended a church that openly preached that their group was the only right one, or at least the rightest one by far in the area? (Or did they just live like this was the case?) In Brethren circles, non-membership has its privileges. Sports and poker metaphors. Teaching people they can't simply go to another church intensifies the fighting over everything in the group you've made the only game in town. How many drummers does one man need? A lot of painstaking technical trickery, trying to make a blast from the past blast rather than crash. Closing in prayer as a way of forestalling an open discussion. Additional Musicians Troy Tuttle: guitars Bill Ranger: bass George Turcotte: drums Chris Metcalfe: drums

    This week, the Wikkid Podcast gets NSFW (Not Safe For A Worship Service). Kristian Kitsch. Kristian Krap so crappy you can't decide whether you're too Christian or too cool to own it. Heathen spatulas. Should there be Christian Archie comics? What would a Christian version of The Archies band play like, Sugar, Sugar? Growing up with that sacred/secular line. A discussion of two paintings, on an audio-only podcast. Are The Carpenters too wholesome to comfortably sit on the shelf next to Neil Young and Tom Waits? A juvenile British sense of humour about sex and the body. Obscenity? It's all in your polka dot undies. Additional Musicians Evan Sauve: drums

    Episode 67: Fade From Sight

    Sometimes, in a lot of church flocks, certain sheep just... vanish, never to be seen again. And sometimes people are kind of glad, especially if they are boring, annoying or discontented sheep. And sometimes that sheep is you. Additional Musicians George Turcotte: drums Troy Tuttle: additional rhythm guitar
