Widge’s Sonic Emporium on Louder Than War Radio – 1 July 2023

Episode 3
“The Raging Sound of Calm”

Welcome. Here are what passes for show notes. The reason the playlist is in the format you find it is because I really need a life. The very overwrought explanation can be found here.

Format is:
Artist/Band Name – “Song Name” – Album Name – (Band’s/Artist’s Country of Origin, Year of Song’s Original Release)


Butthole Surfers — “Underdog” — Saturday Morning: Cartoons’ Greatest Hits — (USA, 1995)

I have no idea of the worldwide reach of Underdog, to be honest.

PJ Harvey — “Long Snake Moan” — To Bring You My Love — (UK, 1995)

Living Colour — “Sunshine of Your Love” — True Lies soundtrack — (USA, 2005)

After this, Clapton went back to that song to find the locks had been changed.

Thousands of One — “Heaven” — Thousands of One — (USA, 2005)

Peach Kings — “Thieves & Kings” — Thieves & Kings — (USA, 2012)

Marlo — “Voices in My Head” — Marlo — (?, 2011)

Yeah, I neglected to mention in the show that it’s M-A-R-L-O.

Chic Gamine — “Closer” — Closer — (Canada, 2013)

Gabi Garbutt — “Lady Matador” — The Discredited Language of Angels — (UK, 2019)

Zee Avi — “Swell Window” — Ghostbird — (Malaysia, 2011)

I initially thought the title referred to some sort of medical term. But no. It’s surfing. My knowledge of surfing begins and ends with Point Break.

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings — “Just Dropped In (to see what condition my condition was in)” — Soul Men soundtrack — (USA, 2008)

Charles Bradley — “Ain’t It a Sin” — Changes — (USA, 2006)

Steve Mann & Janis Joplin — “Trouble in Mind” — Steve Mann: Alive & Pickin’ — (USA, 2005)

Seriously, though. You’re at an open mic. The third guy in a row has just read some terrible poetry. Then just when you’re about to self-defenestrate to try and escape…Janis starts up.

Hellsongs — “Paranoid” — Lounge EP — (Sweden, 2006)

Kutiman & Melike ?ahin — “Sakla Beni” — (Israel/Turkey, 2019)
