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. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/freaky-trigger-s3-e11.mp3

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. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards-may-9th-2009.mp3 Additional materials beyond the break: Totally Hair Barbie ad: Rappin’ Rockin’ Barbie ad (note minuscule size of boom box): Scalextric THE WINNER! And an average Childrens ITV ad break from the mid eighties including more Barbie, Space Lego etc… And some of the dolls Pippa is talking about Blythe: A whole load of Pullip’s And a Dolphie Flickrstream

Today’s episode of FreakyTrigger and the Lollards Of Pop starring Pete Baran, Anna Fielding, Magnus Anderson and Tom Ewing is on now. Or was when this was posted. 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. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards-of-pop-series-3-week-8.mp3

“The Trouble With Pop” – a conversation between Tom Ewing, Hazel Robinson, Alex Macpherson and Pete Baran. Featuring Bat for Lashes, Mastodon, Lady Sovereign, Blackout Crew, Gucci Mane and Girls Aloud. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards-of-pop-series-3-week-7.mp3

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. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards-of-pop-series-3-week-6.mp3

Eli, Mark and Marianna talk false wisdom, regrets, identity and politics. Featuring: Hotstreak ‘Bodywork’ Adam Ant ‘Goody Two Shoes’ PJ & Duncan AKA ‘Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble’ Sun Ra ‘Love In Outer Space’ Toby Keith ‘I Want To Talk About Me’ http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollardss03e05b.mp3

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.http://freakytrigger.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads//home/snowyowl/public_html/podcasts/ft-lollards-of-pop-season-3-episode-4.mp3

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). So nonsense basically, and much misinformation presented as fact as ever. Please feel free to correct us below in the comments. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/ft-march-21st-2009.mp3

Iceland (the country) makes an appearance in this recession special hosted by Elisha. As do Tim, Magnus and Kat. Bread and circuses: really all that bad? Followed by street and cupboard knowledge. Somehow it seemed like more. Music from Reykjavik!, Clint Eastwood and General Saint, Corvus Corax, Bloodgroup, Fred Astaire, and Amii Stewart. For more about Icelandic music you know what to do – just click here. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards-of-pop-series-3-week-2.mp3

History is bunk. Hosted by Pete Baran with guests Tom, Alix and Magnus. Orchestra Pie and the ancient art of the list, old recipes ( vintagecookbooktrials.wordpress.com) and superstitions. Historical records: ‘It’s A Long Way to Tipperary’, Rosemary Clooney, Candide and Noël Coward. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards_S3E01.mp3

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. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards_S2E17.mp3

The whys and wherefores of cheating with Eli, Tim, Mark and Katie. Stalking Girls Aloud. Medieval Courtneycourtly 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. http://freakytrigger.s3.amazonaws.com/podcasts/lollards/lollards_cheat.mp3
