  • 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

    Drums recorded in shipping containers. Jonathan Haidt says we're 90% chimps and 10% bees. Laws and rules as weaponized disgust responses.

    Episode 70: Not Your Fault

    In the penultimate episode: People like blaming young people for stuff, and young people sometimes blame themselves. (For parents divorcing, family vehicles needing repair, and church splits.) Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition, and The New King James Revised Standard Amplified Message Version. Geoff literally causes a division before age 20. Church communities as great buckets for hiding candles under. Does this song sound like the theme to TV's The Facts of Life? Additional Musicians Evan Sauve: drums Troy Tuttle: additional rhythm guitars, lead guitar Mason: vermin killing

    Episode 69: The Only Game In Town

    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
