This week John interviewed Amy Petty and I played music from The Church. The show had its usual technical problems. While Amy Petty eventually sounded pretty good, John sounded like he was on AM radio or in a bathroom(or both). During my segment, I was told that I wasn't loud enough, which is what happens when the phone is held directly up to the microphone, because hardly anything works in the studio. So, anyway...
Steve Kilbey and Marty Willson-Piper of The Church each released solo albums last week, so I figured it was the best way to play new music from each of them along with new and old music from their band.
We started with an acoustic version of Under The Milky Way, from their 2005 release El Momento Descuidado. After that, I tried to play The Unguarded Moment from the 1981 Church album Of Skins And Heart, but John had forgotten to bring that song with him. So instead, we followed it up was Celestial, from Steve Kilbey's new album Painkiller and High Down Below from Nightjar, the new album from Marty Willson-Piper. We then finished up with two more Church songs. The first one was a cover of the Television song Friction, from The Church's 1999 covers album, A Box Of birds and finally, Unified Field, from the 2006 album Uninvited, Like The Clouds. They have a new album schduled for release in April and I'm looking forward to hearing what it sounds like.
Next week marks the first anniversary of the show. John will be interviewing Lori Diamond and has plenty of surprises in store to celebrate the 1st anniversary.
